Secure Migration to Windows 7 with Handy Backup

Just released Windows 7 flooded Internet with reports on the new operating system installation, discussions and Windows 7 installation tips. Microsoft guys learned from mistakes of Windows Vista, which at one time was met by the market rather negative, and have made every effort to please everybody with newly-fledged operating system. And it must be said, it is quite successful - reviews entirely positive, everybody is happy and in a hurry to share impressions from the installation and operation. New operating system released without revolutionary changes, however they corrected such well-known Vista issues as annoying User Access Control (UAC) and compatibility problems with several hardware components in Windows 7, and they also added useful additional functions to Windows Aero.

Everybody knows that installing the operating system requires attention, careful preparation and planning. According to statistics research made by Strategic Research Institute in New York, about 33% of PC users suffer from data loss annually. Particularly frequent cases of irretrievable loss of data take place when installing of a new operating system. Regardless of whether you already managed to install a new system or just want, in your best interest to remember about data security. Handy Backup is award-winning data backup and disaster recovery software, which will help to secure a migration to Windows 7, and then insure already installed Windows 7 against loss of data.

You probably know that Windows 7 developers strongly recommend installing the system from scratch, on a clean hard disk, instead of upgrading your system. Backing up in such a case is essential. Handy Backup allows you to move documents, applications and their settings into the new system unchanged, including:

. “My Documents” folder with the entire structure of files and folders
Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox favorites and settings
E-mail, including Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird and
The Bat!, with all messages, accounts, address books, etc.
• A number of popular applications like Adobe Photoshop, Dream Weaver,
QIP, Skype, Total Commander and other
Database backup including MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, DB2 and many others

Data backup and recovery software Handy Backup is extremely easy to use and reliable. Moving favorite programs to the new system is intact and quite able to beginner, even if it comes to migration of databases. You need to install software, create and run backup jobs, indicating what you want to backup, and where. The program supports backup on all common media and removable devices (CD / DVD, USB flash, HDD, FTP / LAN). Just in case, you can copy a distribution of Handy Backup to the backup media.

Now to the actual installation of Windows 7. Internet community agreed that the installation of Windows 7 runs surprisingly smoothly and quickly. On an average machine with Core Duo processor and 4 gigabytes of RAM, installation of the new operating system on a formatted hard disk takes about 20 minutes. The system also works a bit faster than its predecessor does and it cannot but rejoice.

Handy Backup is one of the first holders of the Microsoft certificate "Compatible with Windows 7" and certificate "Works on Windows Vista", so application feels quite well both in the new operating environment, and the old. You have to install the program from the product website or from backup media. I must say that the connection problems should not occur, because Windows 7 connects to the Internet through a couple of seconds after the first boot without any user intervention, and this is another advantage, which Vista could not boast.

Once you install Handy Backup, connect the backup media, create the task of restoring data from the specified destination and run it. In a few minutes all your documents, applications with all the settings and databases will be in a new place without the slightest change, and fully ready to work. In addition to the automatic transfer of documents, the experts will appreciate the ability not to set up email accounts, graphics editors and database management systems, which could take several hours or even days without using the backup program.

Handy Backup program has long been popular, it is the owner of dozens of awards and certificates, and was translated in more than 20 languages. Assistance in the migration to Windows 7 - is just one of many useful applications of Handy Backup. Developers of the program, Novosoft Company, don’t stand still and is already working on implementing of the possibility to backup and restore MS Exchange 2010 to the program.

Increase your RAM? free of cost…Really Worth It!!!!

A Very useful tip . Please try this and use RAM efficiently. Now this is called a tip of the year! While working with the Task Manager I observed the following. You can also try it out. 1.Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents. 2.Now start the Task Manager processor tab and sort the list in descending order on Memory Usage. You will notice that Winword.exe will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory. Note down the number. 3.Now switch to Word and simply minimise it. (Do not use the Minimize All option of the task bar). 4. Now go back to the Task Manager and see where Winword.exe is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to Scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Compare it with the original. Surprised? The memory utilisation has reduced by a huge amount. 5.So where is the tip of the year? Simple? Minimise each application that you are currently not working on ...
