Windows 10 Upgrade – Preparation the Upgrade to Windows 10 Will Completely Wipe Everything on Your Local Device So You Need To Windows 10 Upgrade – Preparation The upgrade to Windows 10 will completely wipe everything on your local device so you need to ensure that everything is backed up before your machine is upgraded. It is your responsibility to ensure this is done BEFORE your upgrade as the staff performing the upgrade will not be able to do it for you. Desktop and Laptop Users Backing up your data Desktop / C: drive / Music / Pictures / Videos / Downloads Ensure that any work you have saved in the following areas and wish to keep: • Desktop • C: drive • D: drive - if you have one • Music folder • Pictures folder • Videos folder • Downloads folder is backed up (copied) to either a network drive (H: drive) or external media (USB). For large video or picture files, external media rather than your H: drive would be more appropriate. You can make sure that your backup has been successful by logging in on a different computer and checking that you can access your files from there If you need help completing this, please contact the IT Helpline on 4646 or at [email protected] Web Brower Favourites / Bookmarks Google Chrome Bookmarks You will need to back up any Google Chrome Bookmarks to your H: drive or removable USB drive. For guidance on how to complete this, please see the Google support pages at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96816?hl=en-GB and follow the “Move bookmarks to another browser” section Firefox Bookmarks You will need to back up any Firefox Bookmarks to your H: drive or removable USB drive. For guidance on how to complete this, please see the Firefox support pages at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer Internet Explorer Favourites Internet Explorer Favourites are stored on your H: drive so you do not need to do anything with these OneNote Ensure you are aware of the location of any OneNote files you access. You can check this by opening OneNote and going to File / Info. Files on OneDrive or shared with you will have a location that starts: https://stummuac-my.sharepoint.com/personal/staff ID number_ad_mmu_ac_uk Files stored on your H: drive will start: \\staffhome\staff_home0\ Provided your OneNote files are not stored locally on your C: drive they will remain unaltered by the upgrade You can make sure that you know the locations of your OneNote files by logging in on a different computer and checking that you can access your files from there If you are unsure about the location or access to an OneNote file, please contact the IT Helpline on 4646 or at [email protected] Sticky Notes If you use the Sticky Note application take a note of any information you have saved – create a page in OneNote or a Word document for example. Please note that Microsoft have removed the Sticky Note application from Windows 10 so it will not be available after the upgrade Other Software If you have additional software installed that may store data locally on your device, please ensure you have completed any backup of the data that may be required If you need help completing this, please contact the IT Helpline on 4646 or at [email protected] Laptop Users Only Syncing your H: drive Your home area (H: drive) is available offline, so you can still have access to a copy of your H: drive files when you are disconnected from the MMU network. Before your device is upgraded you need to ensure that a full H: drive sync has successfully completed so that any locally made changes are copied back to the network – if there are any errors or issues these will need to be resolved before the upgrade process begins To check your H: drive sync status you need to access the Sync Center which can be done in two ways: The Sync Center can be accessed from the ‘notification area’ on the taskbar The Sync Centre can also be accessed by searching for “sync” in the Start Search box The Sync Centre shows you when your last sync was and whether there are any conflicts or errors that need to be resolved. You need to ensure that you have synced and resolved conflicts before your upgrade. Select the “View sync conflicts” to see if there are any errors that need resolving for example if there are two versions of a file, one that has been edited logged in to the network and the other edited disconnected. To resolve any errors right-click the file to see options to resolve the conflict. If you need help checking your H: drive sync status please contact the IT Helpline on 4646 or at [email protected] After the Windows 10 Upgrade Desktop and Laptop Users Email While connected to the MMU network, launch Outlook so the system can set up your account “for the first time”. You will need to reset up your email signature within Outlook – you can copy it from a sent item that included your signature. For guidance on how to set up a signature, please follow the guidance at https://support.office.com/en-us/article/create-and-add-a-signature-to-messages-8ee5d4f4-68fd- 464a-a1c1-0e1c80bb27f2 Web Brower Favourites / Bookmarks Google Chrome Bookmarks You will need to import any exported Google Chrome Bookmarks that you had previously saved. For guidance on how to complete this, please see the Google support pages at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96816?hl=en-GB and follow the “Add bookmarks to Chrome” section Firefox Bookmarks You will need to import any exported Firefox Bookmarks that you had previously saved.

Laptop Users Only H Drive sync Before you can access your H: drive files away from the MMU network you have to complete a full H: drive sync so that your files are available locally on your laptop. Connect your laptop to the MMU network, go to the Sync centre and check on the status of your H: drive sync, it should start automatically after a while, but you can force a sync: Open the Sync Centre, on the “View sync partnerships” screen right-click the progress bar and select “Sync offline files”. .

  • Introduction to Windows 7
    [Not for Circulation] Introduction to Windows 7 This document provides a basic overview of the new and enhanced features of Windows 7 as well as instructions for how to request an upgrade. Windows 7 at UIS Windows 7 is Microsoft’s latest operating system. Beginning in the fall of 2010, UIS will upgrade all classroom and lab PCs to Windows 7. Any new PC that is ordered will automatically come installed with Windows 7. To request an upgrade, contact the Technology Support Center (TSC) at 217/206-6000 or [email protected]. The TSC will evaluate your machine to see if it’s capable of running Windows 7. (Your computer needs a dual core processor and at least 2 GB of RAM.) Please note that University licensing does NOT cover distribution of Windows 7 for personally owned computers. However, it is available for a discounted price via the WebStore at http://webstore.illinois.edu. What to Consider Before Upgrading There is no direct upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7. Therefore, the TSC will take your computer, save your files, and install Windows 7 on a clean hard drive. Please budget a couple days for this process. In some cases, you may have older devices that will not work with Windows 7. While many vendors are providing and will continue to provide drivers for their hardware, in some cases, printers, scanners, and other devices that are more than 5 years old may have issues running on Windows 7. To check the compatibility of your devices with Windows 7, visit the Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx.

  • New Features in Windows 7
    Computer Classes at the Library East Brunswick Public Library NEW FEATURES IN WINDOWS 7 START MENU Users have much more control over the programs and the files that appear on the Start menu. It is essentially a blank slate that you can organize and customize to suit your preferences. JUMP LISTS Jump Lists are a new feature for both the Start menu and the Taskbar. Jump Lists are lists of recent items, such as files, folders, or websites, organized by the program you use to open them. In addition to being able to open recent items using a Jump List, you can also PIN favorite items to a Jump List, so that you can easily access the programs and files you use every day. To open a Jump List from the Start Menu: • Click on the Start menu button • Scroll to a program that you have used and saved files in recently. • Move your cursor over the arrow on the right • Recent files that you have worked on will display. The same items appear in a program's Jump List on the Start menu and on the Taskbar. PIN A PROGRAM TO START MENU No programs or files are pinned to the Start menu by default. After you open a program or an item for the first time, it will appear in the Start menu, but you can choose to remove it, or you can pin it to the Start menu so that it always appears there. You can also adjust the number of shortcuts that appear in the Start menu so that it doesn’t get too large.
