Hello there,
My Uncle bought a new HDD and wanted to migrate his Windows 7 Installation from its original HDD to the new one (Maxtor to Hitachi).

I often get asked about Microsoft’s latest operating system Windows 7 and whether it’s worth upgrading. First of all, it probably warrants sharing with you some of the features of Windows 7 and why it might appeal to you. The first reason it might be attractive is that it’s not Vista...
I"ve read several of the entries here about getting rid of unnecessary services and speeding up boot time...... I've gotten rid of some of the services.......
Is there any way to have Windows 7 provide a timing of what it's starting up for every program, service, and/or whatever? I'm talking...

I just rebuilt my desktop and installed Windows 7. I had thought to put My Pictures and My Music on separate Hard Drives from the Operating System and everything else; OR would performance be better with all on one hard drive and backing up the My Music and My Pictures to separate Hard Drives...

I've done that, as well as doing a disk-cleanup and defragging.

Question: when and how often should one update/upgrade one's bios on there PC? Even if that PC is not having any problems. I am a firm believer in "if it's not broke don't fix it" saying but would like some sort of answer to this question.
