The change over to a new operating system!

Well I kept hearing about the SPEED and that's what I wanted!. My current ASUS note book was a Formula 1 of notebooks and it was running with VISTA and it was slow! Would Windows 7 be my savior for that SPEED my notebook was capable of? A quiet week was upon me(so I thought) and I bought a new HardDrive and a copy of Windows 7 and started installing. Now I know there must be a lot of short cuts to convert over to a new system but for me, it was about taking the HD out of my notebook and replacing it with the new one.(that happened a couple of times as I kept checking my regular work on my VISTA drive) There is nothing like a "fresh"operating system and Win7 had a lot to deliver. First thing to install after Windows was the Office suite. I have a number of email addresses and customising rules to make sure emails go into certain folders for easy filing(very involved!!) is very much a challenge and having to input these"rules"and all the mail settings for the addresses ÄND making sure it all worked with the new ""I Phone I also just got was just pushing my learning curving right around! Backing up documents and files is an automatic process with external drives for me but all the other"things like mail settings is something to remember as well". What about all the programs you use? Do you have all the discs to reinstall them?..Do you actually want to install them?..What about the bookmarks from your Web Browser....SO MUCH TO CHANGEOVER! Well I am now on Windows 7 fulltime and I do feel some extra speed ESPECIALLY on bootup and reboots but having some issues with the video card in the notebook. Every now and again the BLUESCREEN of death has been coming up but at least I know where the problem is and the Nividia graphics card is yet to make the drivers suit(yet!)....Things will get better This is what happens when you get new stuff in computers...but really...I got enough stuff I have to worry about...like take photos!!Will keep you posted on how we get on!!
