Posted on 5:55 PM by Unknown

For families with two or more home computers, the Family Pack is the perfect opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 and enjoy the security, speed and improved user interface that Windows 7 includes.

Setting up a home network is easy with Windows 7.  From the Windows Experience Blog:
"According to IDC’s Consumerscape 360 data, the average U.S. household has two PCs and, for most of these households, setting up a home network is not the easiest task. To meet the needs of these families, Windows 7 was designed with home networking in mind. Windows 7 Home Premium comes with HomeGroup, a new feature that makes sharing photos, music and files between all the PCs in your home network a snap. It’s especially handy if all of your PCs share a printer."


Discover the Windows 7 Features and download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor today and see if your PC is ready for Windows 7. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. scans your PC for potential issues with your hardware, devices, and installed programs, and provides recommendations of what to do before you upgrade.
