Why buy Windows 7 Ultimate?

Windows 7 Ultimate was designed for people who want it all: performance, flexibility, and fun. You get all the features that come with other editions of Windows 7 and then some. Read on to see if Ultimate is the right edition for you.

1. Work a little, play a little - With Windows 7, your PC gets to live up to every ounce of its potential for serious work and serious fun. You can get down to business with better power management, easier networking, and location‑aware printing. When you're ready to relax, you'll enjoy TV, video, music, and online entertainment, wherever and whenever you want, with features like Windows Media Center, Play To, and Remote Media Streaming.

2. Thirty-five languages - Whether you're multilingual, trying to learn a foreign language, or just want to travel the world on your desktop, language packs in Windows 7 Ultimate are a powerful (and fun) way to switch easily between any of 35 available languages. Included only in the Ultimate and Enterprise editions of Windows 7, language packs translate most of the Windows user interface: menus, dialog boxes, help topics. Once you've installed the language packs you want for free through Windows Update, switching between them is easy.

If you've got a Tablet PC, handwriting recognition is faster and more accurate in Windows 7, with new breakthroughs for East Asian writing systems.

3. Safeguard your work - All editions of Windows 7 come with improvements to backing up and protecting your work. But only Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise include BitLocker Drive Encryption, which keeps everything from documents to passwords safer by encrypting the entire drive that Windows and your data reside on.

Once BitLocker is turned on, any file you save on that drive is automatically encrypted. And with BitLocker To Go, a new feature in Windows 7, you can encrypt the information on portable storage devices like USB flash drives and external hard drives, too.

How to Select 32-Bit VS. 64-Bit Products

To determine which type of software to purchase:

  • Right-click on "Computer" in Windows Vista or "My Computer" in Windows XP and click "Properties"
  • Look for the "System Type" which will tell you whether your computer is using a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system (you may see the label "x86" on 32-bit computers or "x64" on 64-bit ones)
