Microsoft Windows 7 is a legacy release of Microsoft's flagship operating system. In comparison to prior versions, Windows 7 features quicker initialization, shut down, and wakeup from standby; hassle-free networking and resource sharing; consolidated device administration; as well as innovative multi-touch capability.

64-bit Upgrade Help for Windows 7 and Windows Servers
Windows 7 is offered in a 64-bit edition that sets a new standard for workstation reliability and capacity. However, for most organizations the migration to 64-bit technology is challenging due to the need to perform a clean installation on each desktop. This requires re-installing programs, backing up and recovering data, and running new device drivers. Although businesses typically already have 64-bit computers, the effort needed to benefit fully from this untapped potential often seems excessively difficult. Yet because Windows 7 usually requires a clean install, this represents a good time to move up to 64-bit technology, which can be done with virtually no incremental work.
