Kingston's new SSD replaces your hard drive and can boot Windows 7 up to 8.5 times faster than a traditional hard drive, as measured by the manufacturer itself has done.
SSD is the Solid State Drive, and is an alternative for traditional hard drives, which use flash memory instead of magnetic disks. The profit lies in the rapidity and the SSD is dead silent and shock resistant because it has no moving parts.
Kingston has launched a new series of SSD drives called SSDNow V +.  These supports technology windows 7 trims, and comes in capacities from 64 GB to 512 GB. The target prices is just over 2 000 SEK to 15 SEK 100 for the largest solution.

Boot time was measured with the analysis tool PCMark Vantage 1.0.1 for Windows 7. The test was conducted by Kingston itself, and the result was that SSDNow V + started all over 8.5 times faster than an ordinary hard drive at 7200 RPM.
SSDNow V + is in the format 2.5-inch, which makes it fit nicely to install in most laptops.

How to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7

Windows 7 is the operating system you'll get if you're still using Windows XP. But how do you do to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 ? There you will learn in this easy guide!
For those of you running Windows Vista, you can buy upgrades from Vista to Windows 7 at a lower price than what Windows 7 will cost the full version.Unfortunately, there are no upgrades fromXP to the new Windows 7 .
I've talked to Microsoft about this, and they explained that the reason is that the systems differ so widely that there had been major problems. It had simply been a lot of technical problems that make an upgrade tool that makes the XP to Windows 7.
This does not mean that it is particularly difficult to upgrade your computer from Windows XP to the new Windows 7. However, this means you have to do a clean install. That means your programs, settings and all that will disappear from the operating system.

Do a single backup

What will not disappear, your files. This installer will save in a folder called windows old. This assumes of course that you do not format the hard disk during the installation process. Should you do everything on your hard disk will disappear before the installation of Windows 7 starts.
Whatever you do, do take a big backup of all your important files before you begin installation. A good tip is to use the Microsoft software Windows Easy Transfer (Windows Easy Transfer Wizard ). It is a free application that is used to move files from a Windows installation to another.
Basically it's about making a backup of your important files , and then will help you to restore these files when you are finished with your installation of Windows 7. In Vista, the Windows Easy Transfer, but if you are running XP you need to download software from Microsoft's website. You can backup to CD / DVDs, USB flash drive or external hard drive.

Starta installations

Add in the installation disc for Windows 7 and restart the computer, so it boots from the disc. Then the installer will automatically set off again. I have over the years drove all the different versions of the installer for Windows, and I can certainly say that Windows 7 is the best so far.
It is very easy to install Windows 7 and also it does not take long at all. You need to answer some simple questions during the process, such as typing in your username and the like. This need hardly be explained - as simple as that. When installation is complete, restart your computer and you enter the operating system.
On the computers I have installed Windows 7, I have only encountered problems once and that was it not found any drivers for the very old sound card that was sitting in one of the computers. This was solved simply by visiting the computer manufacturer's support site, where I located and downloaded the drivers for Windows XP - it was the latest version, as it has said was an old sound card. These drivers worked without any problems.

Restore your backup

Once you are inside the Windows 7, you can restore your backup of your important files. Have you used Windows Easy Transfer , start by opening the Start menu and in the search field type "file transfer". The tool will show up in search results.

Just like when you used the program the first time, simply click through the wizard to restore your data.

Welcome to Windows 7!

Now everything will be clear and you have Windows 7 instead of the old utgågna XP! Of course it will feel strange at first, but I can guarantee that you will enjoy after trying it for a while. Windows 7 is actually really good , especially when compared to Vista - which I really did not like.
The operating system is fast and economical and rolls on as good as xp. In all cases, it has done that for me, and when I installed it on really old and slow computers.

Free Windows 7 - inte free

With the launch of Windows 7, Microsoft began a program called the Technical Guarantee. This means that some users who recently bought computers with Vista installed, can get a free update of Windows 7. But the term free seems to be diffuse ...

If your newly purchased computer is covered by the Technical Guarantee is something that must be stated in the papers. Is the case, you can contact your computer manufacturer to get your free update to Windows 7. The distribution functions so that Microsoft provides computer manufacturers free versions of Windows 7, which they then give to the users who want to update for free. Several computer manufacturers have in turn left out this work to any other company.

The upgrade to Windows 7 is said to be free , but now that many users have begun to exploit Technical Guarantee has shown that it is not at all free. Businesses do is for the one shipping cost for installation discs that sometimes exceed common sense.
HP assumes, for example, SEK 300 for sending out the upgrade. When you look around the manufacturers' websites for Technical Guarantee, it is usually very unclear how much it costs.Sometimes it says that this is shipping cost, and sometimes to be undefined handling costs, which push up the price tag properly.
PCOnline have been in contact with several computer consumers who have expressed their annoyance over the management of Technical Guarantee has been shot. A reader tells how he was promised a free upgrade, just to get a cost of approximately SEK 300:

- I bought an HP computer for almost a month ago. It had Vista as the OS, but I was promised "free" upgrade to Windows 7 in that I paid an unspecified smaller amount of production cost and postage. Well, mother! Postage cost must have gone sky high and the pressing is done manually, perhaps by the high-paying Germans because I needed the 300 bucks for the "free" upgrade.

It's not just prices that complaints have been raised about. Although management has in places been complicated , according to the users who have been in touch.

- On HP's Swedish website would populate the new computer's serial and product number. I filled in the information correctly. Several times. But each time was met by an angry received a message in red on the 'part number is incorrect ". I emailed the Arvato Digital Services, responsible for the mailing. After a week or belonged to a Seyyid of themselves and graciously explained that he did not understand Swedish - probably because he sits on a call center in India - and wanted us to correspond in English.
- It was the product number that was haunted. The label on the computer, it is written about as "VG123BB-WWU. But see the dash would not be! The hyphen should be replaced with number "#" symbol. What stage was I to know? Arvato also wanted to have a scanned or faxed copy of your receipt.

Another reader who contacted us took up the problem that distributors only take payment by card , which sends to it for those who do not have credit card or who do not want to pay by credit card on the Internet because of security reasons.

- The biggest problem is that you only accept MasterCard or Visa as payment. I have none of these and can not get anything because I have poor credit. This means that I have purchased a product with the promise of free upgrade that I can not access.

The screen is touch sensitive and to be able to take advantage of this fully computer comes with Windows 7 . Microsoft's new operating system had indeed a great built-in support for touch-screens, which can not be said about Windows XP - which would otherwise have been the natural choice for manufacturers of minicomputers.

Before MSI U150 ports in store shelves, however, MSI to release another interesting mini-computer, called the U210 . It has a display screen of 12 inches, which is a little different today, as several producers said that they put 12-inch development and investing in 10-inch, based on customer demand. The new MSI U210 will use AMD processor Yukon instead of the usual Intel Atom.

Windows Seven Preview

Windows 7, Code-named Windows Vienna founded on the basis of Vista because of the great failures found their last creation from Microsoft on the market. Two months after issuing the first official beta already circulating several conflicting opinions about the real utility to replace a product in search of confirmation, but we who are on the side of users, and supporters of this generational early reiterate its imminent useful to illustrate some of the most important features of the future operating system.

The main caratteristicha points on which the Redmond company is what in the past proved a fatal weakness for Windows Vista, namely the compatibility driver. The premature release of Vista on the market is the only move cited as true author of the failure of that operating system. Microsoft assures us that in this case this error will not be repeated provide a period of contact with most hardware manufacturers by far preceding the marketing of Windows 7.
The other interesting aspects can be summarized into three main categories:

• Simple and Fast

1. Improved management system toolbar that will allow for faster loading of the thumbnails on minimized windows;

2. Documents and files are used more and more at your fingertips with the new system to "jump list" by which through a dedicated voice in the start menu can easily reach what we need;

3. Work comfortably with the management of open windows on the desktop more flexible. With a single mouse movement will be possible to make windows transparent to see what lies beneath or minimize all windows to icons via a single click;

4. Web browsing safer and more fun with the next Internet Explorer 8 that will be included in some versions of Windows 7;

5. Efficient management of devices through the use of a single window accessible from the main control panel;

6. Ability to simply create a "Home Group", to communicate between multiple computers located within the same household. Through the "Network and Sharing Center" will be so easy to share media files and documents in the new family network.

• Work on your side

1. Startup and shutdown times will be significantly reduced. Ensure greater stability of the system in case of any problems will still be able to help us to quickly restore the proper functioning;

2. Improved performance also with regard to the use of the operating system on laptops. A new management system will optimize battery consumption for example by reducing screen brightness as soon as we briefly absenteeism from work station;

3. Wide range of themes for personalization in every aspect of the GUI;

4. Through the new "Action Center" you can select which alerts (related to issues on the Security Center and other areas) to receive and which not, this way you will avoid excessive noise at work.

• New Horizons

1. New system of organization and sharing of multimedia files. The aforementioned Home Group will allow us to better the rating of our image, audio and video, then share them through the local network created;

2. With Windows Touch for all users who have access to a touch screen you can do without the mouse and keyboard. The new operating system will support the fact that technology is now deployed far in next generation mobile devices.
From the preface Windows 7 does not seem at all a joke, has his many fans willing to bet a success similar to that experienced by well-known and well-Xp. We can only wait patiently, then, that the release of Release Candidate on April 10 to assess any further progress!
