However, like most things, if you are unaware of all these features you could be missing out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By mastering a few simple tricks, you can get the most out of Windows 7.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you want to move images to outside disks, you can now do so easily with Windows 7. The operating system lets you burn ISO images onto CDs or DVDs. To accomplish this, you merely have to double-click on the ISO image, tell Windows 7 the drive that holds your blank disc, and then click the &#8220;burn&#8221; option. Windows 7 will do the rest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Quickly find and repair problems. If your operating system is acting strangely, just click the &#8220;Control Panel&#8221; option. After that, you can simply click &#8220;troubleshooting&#8221; to access a number of wizards which will solve commonplace operating problems. For example cleaning up systems that are slowed by too much adware and other clutter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Installing too much cumbersome <a title=\"Attention Microsoft Outlook Users: 3 Great Tips\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/attention-microsoft-outlook-users-3-great-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">software<\/a> will slow your system down. You are able to prevent this by utilizing the AppLocker feature. This enables you to pre-approve certain programs for installation. Which stops any non-preapproved software from being downloaded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Windows 7 comes with its own power efficiency service. This allows you to access reams of data regarding how much energy your laptop is consuming. This may be important if you&#8217;re working from a remote location and are not in the vicinity of a charging source.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windows 7 has many features making it a great improvement over prior systems.
