Netbook PCs with Windows 7

Working on Windows 7 is easy, as it looks great and it seems to be more faster and quicker than Windows XP. If you are a notebook user then there are a few important points that you should take care. These can be explained as:

Take a back up of your important data and information in any external storage medium like a USB falsh drive etc, even if it seems to be uncomfortable task for you. Generally the initial idea of various people is to install Windows 7 in place of the previous edition of the Windows operating system, if you are a Windows user. And on the existing hard disk drive thereby using the old Windows installation folder in case of reinstallation being done. So, as to fetch the old documents and contents. According to some reviews it seems that the installations goes fine. Never forget to take back up of your important data and information before installing the latest Windows 7, because it will be a point that totally depends on you, whether you want to keep your old data and contents.

Second thing that you should take care is to check your manufacturer's Website for the BIOS and other software updates. For example, Samsung has published on its website and showed about twenty two different updates for the N310 to make it ready for the new Windows 7. One of the BIOS update was difficult to install before the upgrade. The remaining twenty one were the updates of those softwares that were incompatible with the new Windows 7 and it had to be installed afterwards.

Third thing is to Boot off the Windows 7 install media. Because some people find it difficult to release the Windows 7 installer from the install DVD in normal XP installation, while upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7. But booting off the hard drive, not directly from the DVD, sometimes the installer appeared to run without any interference, unless it got stuck uncompressing the Windows files. Next thing is that you should not install from an external DVD drive. Becasue BIOS update was not done.

Finally if you plan to use a USB stick then you should remove it at the reboot. Thus you can build a Windows 7 install USB key for installing it. Many ways are suggested for making a USB drive to install Windows 7 and it works fine.

Windows 7 generally demands you to first boot off of the install media and then reboot from your hard drive. But if the BIOS is set to boot from a USB flash drive first before your hard drive , which happens if you had to change the BIOS setting because of a incomplete installation, the system will keep booting from the USB stick, and the installation will never be completed. The best alternative to this solution is to extract the USB flash drive while the computer is rebooted. Then the Windows 7 installation will be completed from the hard drive.
