Now we can set-up your new Vista Computer to
Dual-Boot with both Windows XP & VISTA or Windows 7!
It's almost impossible to buy
a new computer without Windows 7 on it these days. We still
build new systems with both Windows XP
& Windows 7 on them, but it's impossible to find new systems
in the "Big Stores" built
that way.
It's also nearly impossible to buy a new computer with just XP on
it. It's also getting much harder to even find legal copies of Windows XP.
We still have several legal copies of XP on hand.
We've got great news for you Windows 7 or Vista Owners! We can
set-up your new (or used) computer with both operating systems ...
Windows 7 or Vista
AND XP!
We'll set-up your computer so that when it boots up,
YOU
can CHOOSE which Operating System to boot into - XP or
Windows 7 or Vista.
With these options you can
enjoy the familiarity of Windows XP and also explore the new features of
Windows Vista/7!
The other benefits include the big plus of knowing
your old software and online games will still work with your new
computer!
In some cases we can also set-up an older XP computer to
Boot with Windows 7 or Vista as well. Contact us for
details on this process. It all depends on whether drivers
exists for your XP computer that are Windows 7 or Vista compatible.
Call Gord for advice.
Dual Booting Windows 7 or Vista with Windows XP Benefits:
Better backwards compatibility of your programs and games.
Time and flexibility to climb the rather steep learning
curve that Vista presents.
You can use the next generation of software in Vista and
then go back to the simplicity and reliability of Windows XP in
a matter of minutes.
If either the XP or the Windows 7 or
Vista drives malfunction, you still
have the other.
You can actually get improved performance this way - we'll
set Vista to cache to the XP drive, and configure XP to
cache to the Windows 7 or Vista drive.
We'll also optimize both systems with Partitioning Software
and automatic Defragmenting Software - we set it and you forget
it!
The Installation Process:
First we'll partition your hard drive to make room for the
new XP installation (or Windows 7 or Vista).
We then install XP (or Windows 7 or Vista) and do all the required Windows
updates.
We'll also install the rest of your software to work with
the new Operating System (you must provide the CD's).
Your printer and scanner software are also set-up for the
new Operating System too (in-home option only).
Install & update your Anti-Virus and Windows Defender Anti
Spyware.
Install Adobe Reader, Flash, Shockwave, Java and QuickTime
Player.
We'll finally set-up a customized boot-up menu so you can
choose which system you want to start your computer in.
You'll also get a short tutorial on how to access each Operating
System.
