Set up a PC

This week I started to learn and practice how to set up a PC. I began with zero out a PC using a Killer disc and then instore Windows and related drivers. Thanks Dr. Falls, Yeonjoeng, and Wei for their help.

Windows 7 Compatibility

Concerning the drivers which do not work with Windows 7, I found the webite
which is very useful.

We just need to type in the name of software or hardware, then the result of
compatibility will be shown.

Also I found some other useful information from the following website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/faq.aspx

"program compatibility is a mode in Windows 7 that lets you run some programs written for earlier versions of Windows. Many programs written for Windows XP will also work in Windows 7, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If an older program doesn't run correctly, you can use the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter to simulate earlier versions of Windows, which may address the issue.

To run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter:

1. Click Start , click Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Run programs made for previous versions of Windows.

2. Follow the instructions in the troubleshooter."
