 6 Essential Tips to Speed up Windows 7

Author: Tanmay

Without a doubt, Windows 7 is a much better operating system than its predecessors, but that doesn’t mean it is the speediest of them all. Due to the hardware requirement, those who still have their old computer may not get the same performance as good as they had with Windows XP. Even if the computer comes with all the latest hardware installed, there are still many factors that can substantially slow down the performance.

How To Use Any Version Of Windows 7 Free for 120 days

How To Use Any Version Of Windows 7 Free for 120 days
Do you like how Windows 7 works? It’s way better than Vista right? I think we all agree at that point… Well today I have something that will prolong your joy of using Windows 7 for free from default 30 days, to amazing 120 days! I don’t talk about RC or Beta here, only final versions of Win7.

As you already know, Microsoft allows anyone to install and use any version of Windows 7 for 30 days without having to enter an activation key. There are no strings attached, and the operating system’s performance is not degraded or defaced during the trial.

But fortunately for us, the 30-day grace period can be extended up to three additional times – to a total of 120 days – using a Microsoft-supplied utility called the Software License Manager (slmgr). This tool conveniently ships with Windows 7 which means you already have it on your copy of Win7.

First let me explain how this whole process works:

If you install Windows 7 and don’t enter an installation key, the 30-day activation clock starts. To see how many days you have left, click ‘Start’, right-click ‘Computer’, and choose ‘Properties’. At the bottom of the dialog under ‘Windows Activation’, you’ll see the number of days left in your trial period.

When your remaining days come near to zero, you can apply the following steps to extend Windows 7 trial period and make it last additional 30 days.

So how is this 120 days? Well you can repeat the process three times at maximum. (When another 30 days end, you repeat, and then again after those additional days end, you repeat this last time) After that, you will need to enter the activation key which you, hopefuly will, after deciding which version fits you.

Download Free ZoneAlarm 9.1 Firewall Fully Compatible With Windows 7

Here’s a great freebie for you. I don’t know whether you heard it or not, but the new version of Zone Alarm has been released on November 24. And it is now available free for download.

It is kind of strange though, that the official announcement of the release hasn’t yet spread fully over the net. Even the link to download the latest version of ZoneAlarm on their official website leads to a page at Download.com where you can download only version 8 (I hope they will fix that soon).

It seems that the news about the new version of ZoneAlarm doesn’t seem to have got past the ZoneAlarm forum…Yet. But who cares. You can download it right now and enjoy the internet security that this famous firewall provides.

So what are the major changes and add-ons in the latest version of ZoneAlarm (9.1)?

1. One of the most important things is that this version of ZoneAlarm is now fully compatible with Windows 7. That means you can relax and don’t need to worry whether it will crash your system or cause any conflicts with other installed software on your computer (which could, yet again, lead to system failure).

2. There is a new browser security toolbar included with installation. This is helpful if you happen to go to some malicious website that tries to install some kind of malware on your pc. But I also think this browser toolbar will suck in additional RAM memory and if you have many add-ons installed (Firefox anybody?), then it could become pretty messy. (but only for those with less RAM capacity)
