Windows 7 Install Considerations

• Recommended for most Clemson students• Requires same upkeep as a PC laptop• Not all majors require Windows software, but

may be required in some general education or elective classes

• Average install length is 45-60 minutes.• Watch or attend Windows workshop for

information on Novell, Maple, Matlab, Office, Etc.

Why Windows?

• Technical Applications• Adobe Applications• MS Office– Access– One Note– Publisher– Differences in others – especially PowerPoint

• Compatibility with podiums and instructors

Windows Majors

• Majors which require Windows–Architecture–Psychology and Management–General Engineering (50% of hard drive)–Certain majors in College of Agriculture,

Forestry & Life Sciences
