Q. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and my windows is activated. Since i have installed Windows 7 i have never enabled Windows Updates as i am unsure that it may deactivate my windows or may hamper working of my non genuine windows. So i want to know if it will be safe to enable windows updates?
A. If your PC has a version of Windows 7 that was activated using activators then it is safe to have Windows Update enabled. The only disadvantage is that Windows Update has an update called
"Update for Windows 7 (KB971033)" that will search for illegal copies of Windows 7 and deactivate them. Just hide this update and be on the lookout for any other updates that require Windows 7 Genuine Validation.

What is the difference between Windows 7 and Microsoft Office?
Q. What is the difference between Windows 7 and Microsoft Office Home and Student? They are both the same price. Also, do I have to have one of these programs in order to get the other? I am hoping one program will do.
A. Hi r40404,
So, Windows 7 - what is it? Well, it's sort of like the foundation for your computer. It's known as an operating system, so that means that it helps your computer work. It provides you with the Start Menu and taskbar so you can quickly access your programs like Microsoft Office. So, Office is a program. It runs quite a few applications that you might be familiar with - Word, Excel, PowerPoint. You'll want to have Windows as your OS in order to run Microsoft Office.
Hopefully that clears up some stuff. If you want to learn more about what Windows is and how it works, there are some great videos and handy tutorials, here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/what-is
Hope this helps!

Q. I just upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 Pro, it will find everything on my wireless network except my laptop running XP home. I have ran through the network setup on both machines & restarted each. I only see how to setup a homegroup which requires W7 on each.
A. I found this video useful for networking questions I had, and think you might find it interesting as well.
