Would upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 stop my start menu from lagging?

Q. And is Windows 7 worth the money?

A. Depends on why your start menu is lagging.

Yes, Windows 7 is generally worth the money (esp. if you get a deal on the upgrade versions like via the family packs), and it is generally snappier with things like the start menu.

There are hidden settings you can usually tweak for things like start menu pop-up speed though.

How do we make Windows 7 always have all my windows maximized?

And how do we make this permanent, despite changes made on the window sizes upon shutdown of the computer?

Thanks.

A. Right-click to open IE properties, which has a way to maximize what's there. Open the Web page is to maximize after the open. If you still do not understand, you can view the following websites that may help get you and good luck! !

How do I put windows 7 ultimate on a different computer?
Q. I have Windows 7 ultimate installed and activated on my computer. If I bought a new computer and installed it on that, the activation will fail because it is already installed on one computer. How do I deactivate the key from computer A so it can be activated on computer B?
Changing the hard drive will not work, Microsoft blocked this because hard drives can be cloned.

A. Hello,

Rather than attempt to deactivate and reactivate on a different computer, your best bet is to purchase Windows 7 again with a new product key.

Let us know if this helps.

If I upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, can I choose to erase everything and start over?
Q. Recently I obtained a Windows 7 disk and I want to update my hard drive. Can I choose to wipe EVERYTHING from my old Windows XP and start all over? How can I?

A. To upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7, you'll need to select the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. A custom installation doesn't preserve your programs, files, or settings. It's sometimes called a "clean" installation for that reason.
A custom installation is more complex, and it can sometimes take a couple of hours to complete. We created this five-step tutorial to help guide you through the entire process each step of the way.
What you need

â¢An external hard disk. You'll need to move your files off of your PC before you install Windows 7. To make this easier, we recommend a free download called Windows Easy Transfer, which will require an external hard disk. Theyâre readily available at electronics and office supply stores, and they provide an easy way to add additional storage space to your computer.

â¢The original installation discs or setup files for the programs that you want to use with Windows 7. Youâll need to reinstall your programs by hand after installing Windows 7. When you run Windows Easy Transfer you will get a report that lists the programs that you are currently using with Windows XP.
