Some other things you need to know.
Important: Upgrading from Windows XP and older operating systems to Windows 7
will require a clean install. This means backing up all files, wiping the drive clean, installing Windows 7, re-installing all
programs and then restoring all data files, user settings, etc. Microsoft says you can upgrade from some versions of Vista to
Windows 7 without out the clean install. We have tested this extensively in our tech testing facility and
we do not recommend doing this. A clean install does take a bit longer initially,
but solves potential issues that may arise well after the Windows 7 upgrade, creating down time and lost productivity.
Important: Some computers are not capable of upgrading to Windows 7 because
they need more powerful processors, more ram and Windows 7 compatible drivers that may not be available for some computers.
This means the computer may need to be replaced.
Important: Many consumer desktop, laptop, notebook and netbook computers
found at chain stores like Best Buy, Sams Club, Walmart and online are not designed to run network versions of Windows 7 and
cannot connect to a Windows server. They will be running “Home” versions not “Professional” versions, and therefore may not
have driver support for the “Professional” versions of Windows 7, rendering them unusable on your business network. This may
also affect email to cell phone synchronization.
Important: Programs you may be using to conduct business may not be
compatible with Windows 7. There may be upgraded versions available. Microsoft does provide an emulation program for Windows 7
that you may be able to run older, non Windows 7 compatible versions of your software on a system running Windows 7. Testing is
important to assure your software will run correctly before you do a company wide deployment.
Dynamic is ready to help you with your Windows 7 upgrade.
Dynamic can perform a full system audit that includes detailed reports from each computer showing if the hardware and
software is compatible with Windows 7, and a detailed plan showing the most cost effective and efficient way to get your
systems upgraded and running Windows 7.
Dynamic can provide a site audit proposal upon request. Please call us for a free consultation and audit proposal for your
business today because dates on the calendar are closer than they appear.
