Windows 7 offers a lot of options that many users never discover. After all, who wants to wade through that giant instruction manual? Knowing some of the best tips and tricks, though, will enhance your use of Windows 7, giving you a better experience with the operating system.
Burn Images in a Flash
Windows has always made it difficult for users to burn ISO images to DVDs and CDs. Instead of using the OS, users had to find third-party software that would let them burn images. Windows 7 solves this problem. In fact, this OS makes it easier to burn images than pretty much any operating system around. All you have to do is double-click on the ISO image and decide which drive you want to burn it to. Then you insert a blank disc and tell the computer to burn.
Record Problem Solving Steps
The Problem Steps Recorder makes it easy for Windows 7 users to share solutions with each other. This is really helpful if you have a parent who doesn’t quite understand computers. For instance, if your mom calls you with a problem, you can give her step-by-step instructions to fix it by clicking Start, typing in “PSR,” pressing Enter and recording the steps that you take to solve the problem. You can then wrap it all up into a handy file and send it over to your mom. Problem solved.
Using Old XP Programs
Windows 7 users might run into instances when they need XP to operate certain programs. Luckily, Windows 7 makes it easy for you to run old programs as if it were Windows XP. Just switch the OS into XP Mode and you can run those old programs without any problems at all.
Windows 7 offers plenty of advantages over older Windows operating systems. Exploring Windows 7 blogs will give you plenty of tricks and tips that you can use to enhance your experience.
