Would you like to try Windows 7 before you buy?

by Richard Tausch

Okay, so now for the disclaimer….because of time constraints, etc., we wouldn’t be able to setup, support, or guarantee the success of the following, but overall this is a fairly easy way for you to test out Windows 7 on your current system (if you are tech savvy) without it actually installing on your system (This is called Virtualization) to decide if you want to buy it and the cost – IT’S FREE! Having said this, if you are only concerned with compatibility and are on strive to either upgrade to Windows 7 or buy a new system with Windows 7, you can check your current system with the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, located here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/upgrade-advisor

But only consider the following if you…

• Know how to install programs and are tech savvy

• Can burn a DVD

• Have a laptop or desktop that has 2 Gig’s of memory and 20 Gig’s of free space

So if you are tech savvy or have a tech person on hand, this is a great way to test Windows 7 out to see if it is right for you.

What this involves is a free program (VMWare Player) that is installed and can hold the free 90-day trial version of Windows 7.

Here are the following download links to accomplish your testing phase of Windows 7…

Download the VMWare Player:

http://www.vmware.com/products/player/

And the 90-day trial version of Windows 7

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495.aspx?ITPID=sprblog

There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the VMWare Player AND Windows 7 Enterprise. You or a Techie will know which version you need.

All you have to do is download and install VMWare Player and then download and install Windows 7, 90-day trial edition and then when you run VMWare, it will open up a new window that displays the Windows 7 Screen, complete with icons and everything. From there you can play!

Here’s to happy testing!
