    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.

  • 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.

  • Blogging Resources Lyn Hart the Following Information Is A
    Blogging Resources Lyn Hart The following information is a compilation resulting from my own experiences writing my blog from July 2005 to the present. I do not consider myself a “blog expert.” However, these resources have been very helpful for me and I hope they help others. Please keep in mind that while this information was accurate at the time of this writing, internet technology and websites constantly become obsolete or are upgraded! Blog Service Providers These are “hosting platforms” for blogs. There are many blog service providers in existence. The ones listed below are well known, offer free basic blog accounts, do not require the user to download any software, and a few of them also offer additional “upgraded” accounts with special features that require a yearly subscription fee. All provide step-by-step instructions, templates, customizable design themes, and “Help” forums to assist in blog creation and maintenance. Although they are similar, some are simpler than others to set up and use, some of the features and tools differ slightly between providers, and each provider does have its own style and “feel.” It is advisable to investigate several and choose the one which will best suit your abilities and needs. Blog.com http://blog.com/ Blogger http://www.blogger.com/home TypePad http://www.typepad.com/ Wordpress http://wordpress.com/ Writing Blog Posts Microsoft has code embedded in Word that keeps formatting from being preserved if you try to create a blog post in Word & paste it directly into a blog. Windows Live Writer, a free Microsoft download, allows you to compose posts on your desktop, then either save them as drafts or publish them to your blog.

  • How to Get Rid of Toolbars
    How to Get Rid of Toolbars By Adam Bjerk (http://www.getridofthings.com/computers/get-rid-of- toolbars.htm) Internet toolbars are supposed to add increased functionality and generally make your web surfing easier, but they rarely do. In my opinion, you should get rid of toolbars - they aren't worth their trouble, and some lesser-known toolbars are downright dangerous. Consider the safe and somewhat popular "Yahoo! Toolbar." This toolbar's download page proudly boasts its advantages: bookmarks, email alerts, and spyware protection. These are things that my browser already does, and browsers and operating systems will continue to incorporate the more useful aspects of developing toolbars. Of course, there are two types of toolbars. There are the pointless/annoying toolbars (Google Toolbar, Ask.com Toolbar, Windows Live Toolbar, Blogger Toolbar) that are easily uninstalled, and then there are the toolbars that are actually malware. Detecting malware isn't always easy, but there are a few indicators. With a malicious toolbar, you may experience system slowdowns, slower and/or erratic searches, random shutdowns, popups, an unchanging desktop background, or sundry messages – not from your AV program - saying you are "infected". These toolbars - or the malware that comes with them – can mine for personal data, redirect your searches, drop viruses and trojans, hog your system's resources, and/or open backdoors for seedy individuals. It is usually easy to remove toolbars made by legitimate vendors, but getting rid of malicious toolbars is much more involved. Below you'll learn first how to get rid of toolbars that are merely unneeded or annoying, and then how to get rid of toolbars that are actually malware.
