Why buy Windows 7 Professional
We designed Windows 7 Professional to help you work anywhere more easily and more securely—whether that means staying put in an office, running your small business, or going mobile with your laptop. Here's how:
1. Work from anywhere - With Windows 7 Professional, your laptop can remember your preferred printer on each network you use—no more manual switching. Setting your laptop up for a presentation is a breeze, so you can always put your best foot forward. And since Windows 7 manages power more efficiently and connects to wireless networks faster, it's easier than ever to work on the go.
2. Use Windows XP programs - Most programs designed for Windows XP work fine in Windows 7. For those that don't, Windows 7 Professional has a solution: Windows XP Mode. This free download, which works only with the Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions of Windows 7, can run Windows XP programs in a separate window right on your Windows 7 desktop.
3. Safeguard your work - All editions of Windows 7 come with improvements to Backup and Restore for a "set it and forget it" approach to backing up your files and folders. With Windows 7 Professional, you can also back up files, folders, and even drives to a network—and file encryption can help keep confidential information secure on PCs with more than one user.
4. Be more productive - With Windows 7 Professional, you can think less about technology and more about getting things done. Performance improvements and a redesigned desktop help you get more done in less time. It's simple to connect to domains and access offline files on a network even when you're not online.
5. Have some fun - Just because you use your PC for work doesn't mean you have to sacrifice play. When it's time for a break, you'll enjoy on-demand Internet TV, the unbelievably realistic game graphics of DirectX 11, and all the audio-visual goodness that comes with Windows Media Center—like the ability to watch, pause, and record live TV—and Windows Media Player.
