Windows 7 bootable USB


From time to time it may be necessary to reinstall the operating system of the computer. In addition, a new installation and when upgrading to a newer operating system such as Windows 7, is necessary.

Especially with netbooks, there are problems here quickly if no CD or DVD driveis installed and also an external drive is still available. For this reason, the installation of Windows 7 with Windows 7 bootable USB is recommended in such situations.

Windows 7 bootable USB

In order to install windows 7 from Windows 7 bootable USB on a computer ornetbook, you need a USB stick that has sufficient space available. With Windows 7 Professional about 3 gigabytes are required.
Also there are no other important files on the USB stick should be located, as these would be deleted in the preparation of the USB stick.
Furthermore, you need a computer via the USB stick can be configured. In addition, should the BIOS of the computer on which you want to install windows from Windows 7 bootable USB, you have to allow booting from USB, which is likely to be the case with almost all modern computers.

Configure USB for installation

If you have purchased Windows 7 DVD version, an image of the DVD must first be created. For this purpose, a special program is needed. The required ISO image, for example, using the free tools ImgBurn are generated and stored on the hard drive.
  • If you have Windows 7 available for purchase as a download from theMicrosoft Store, then choose the image thus obtained can be used directly.
Once the ISO image of your Windows 7 version is available on the hard disk is available, the Windows 7 USB / DVD comes Download Tool from Microsoft is used, which was developed especially for the transmission of a Windows 7 image on a USB flash drive or a DVD.
  • The program can be downloaded free from the Internet and must be installed on the computer, which you use to configure the USB sticks.
After installation, you must restart the tool. First, select the saved image on the hard drive out. Then there is the choice between USB flash drive and DVD.

For the installation of Windows 7 on a USB stick, select the USB option and search for the desired USB flash drive in the next step. Then the copy process can be started.

Windows 7 installation

After copying is complete, the Windows 7 USB / DVD Download Tool, a bootable USB flash drive is available with the installation files for Windows 7.
This now needs to before starting the computer on which the operating system to be installed, be plugged into this. If the computer is not the same boots fromUSB, you need to change when you start into the BIOS menu.

  • This can be called with F12 on many computers. However, this shortcut key can vary and will be displayed at startup. In the BIOS can now be selected, it will boot from whatever media. In this way, the USB stick can select either directly or put in the priority list before the hard drive.
The necessary BIOS settings were taken or the computer has booted from USB, Windows 7 starts the installation. Then the necessary settings for the operating system configuration can be taken and Windows 7 is installed and configured on the computer.

Explained: What’s the Difference Between Intel Core i3, i5 and i7?


Intel is a great processor manufacturing company but they have a way of confusing the buyers with fancy names like Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7. I am sure you would have heard these terms at least once in a while and wondered what they mean. Today we will discuss the basic differences between Core i3,i5 and i7 processors which i think would help you a lot in choosing your next PC.

History

In the early days, CPU power was completely taken as the clock speed at which it runs. The clock speed of a CPU gives us a nice understanding on how fast a CPU works but not actually how powerful it was. For example a CPU with a 3.0 GHz runs faster than a CPU with 2.5 GHz but the later one may be able to do more work per cycle enabling it to outperform the first one. Intel introduced naming the CPU’s differently (AMD was the first to do though but it didn’t work well for them)  using ‘Core’ naming to move out of the clock speed race.

Difference between Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 in a Nutshell

To conclude in a statement, Core i7s are better than Core i5s, and Core i5s are better than Core i3s. The main reason here being performance. In general, Core i3 chips are found in budget PCs and low-end laptops. For a normal user who does browsing and watching videos, Core i3 works just fine. Core i3s have a low Cache size.
The mainstream or mid-range systems usually  have i5. Systems with Core i5 are good for a moderate user and light gamer.
The Core i7 CPUs are reserved for – and found usually in – high-end, expensive laptops and PCs. These are used by users who wish to do video editing( For example using premier pro), Lot of Gaming and other CPU intensive stuff.

Number of cores: Core i3, i5 and i7

The first thing you’ll notice from the table is that Core i5 and i7 processors have four cores, while Core i3 models only have two. Out of all the differences between the Intel processor ranges, this is the one that will affect performance the most.
Each core is effectively its own processor – your PC would still work (slowly) with just one core enabled. Having multiple cores means that the computer can work on more than one task at a time more efficiently, which will help keep your system running snappily even if you have tasks, such as an antivirus scan, running in the background.
Having several cores can also drastically increase the speed at which certain programs run. This doesn’t apply to all applications, as creating software that takes advantage of multiple cores is difficult. While two cores are now the accepted minimum in a processor, if you generally only tend to have a handful of tabs open in a web browser and your most demanding application is a word processor, you won’t see a huge benefit from a quad-core chip. However, modern games benefit from quad-core chips as does video encoding.
Typically all the Core i3s comes with Hyper-Threading capabilities in them. Some versions of Core i5s have Hyper-Threading and Turbo boost features enabled.
Coming to the big brother- i7, it has comes with anywhere from 2 to 8 cores with Hyper-Threading, Turbo boosting andOverclocking abilities.
Core i7s are the best Intel has to offer for general consumers while Core i3s being the most affordable in the series ( forget Pentium).
