Windows 7 64bit on Sony Vaio VGN-BZ11XN - nearly almost everything performs!

Now it had been time for me to alter to Win 7, and so I installed my Vaio VGN-BZ11XN new. The mobile computer I've gained in November 2008 and I'm really, extremely happy while using the notebook. I deleted the pre-installed Windows Vista in the difficult disk and set up Windows xp. Now it's Windows 7 and I'm pleasantly surprised.

With not pretty brand-new Vaios and Win 7, I had currently created my encounter that were not 100percent positive. I feared for my notebook computer equivalent difficulties, however it went significantly much better than expected. Nonetheless, I must remark that Sony, like all of the producers in fact about to up grade to Win 7 just isn't extremely buyer helpful. Quote from your web site:

Your VAIO should be bought in between 26 June 2009 and 31 January 2010.


Your own VAIO model should belong for the versions, which are eligible for that up grade. ". Properly, not specifically helpful to keepers of older Vaios.

Initial, I built a new challenging drive in to the pc, mainly because I desired to get my XP and information within the aged hard drive for now. If a thing would go wrong with Win 7, I would have promptly a functioning computer system by installing the old disk. The procedure is virtually constantly a similar, placing the Win 7 Ultimate DVD to the drive and booting the computer system from DVD. The installation regimen of Windows 7 went absolutely correct and timely method. The very first optimistic surprise, it had been a glance at the device Manager, correct following the initial install was total.

The driver for your fundamental process unit with the SD card reader was missing , the not known device had belonged for the biometric indicator. Almost everything else was mounted from Windows 7 by now, but I nevertheless replaced the chipset drivers, graphics motorists along with the wifi driver using the original Intel motorists. You don't ought to if you will find no issues. The missing driver for your SD-card reader was put in by way of windows update, with the fingerprint sensor plus the "unknown device" I installed the motorists for Vista from the Sony download page, which also worked perfectly. T the trickiest component for any Windows set up on a Sony Vaio, is the entire notebook software program. The list contains all software programs which are obtainable for Vaios. You ought to set up only the software program which is obtainable for acquire from Sony. What exactly is not there, might be unnoticed. In any event, almost everything went smoothly and every one of the keys worked! Even far more enjoyable I had, simply because almost everything I have to have and use everyday, performs flawlessly. Synchronization with Palm Treo and Outlook, my lightweight versions of Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, or some other lightweight software program, all flawlessly. Through the way, I imply programs easily transportable variations, which need to have not be set up, commencing the program basically around the executable *. exe.


Following We have run a excellent year, the Vaio with Windows XP, I can compare well the overall performance of XP and Win7 for the computer. Win 7 cuts clearly greater, it truly is stable, starts more rapidly and somehow makes a stronger impression.

Conclusion: A switch to Windows 7 at this Vaio is advised without having reservation.
