64 Bit Windows 7 Downloads In Time For Crysis 2


Are you ready for the most exciting PC game of 2011?

by SoftwareGuru


If you're looking for 64 Bit Windows 7 downloads there's a good chance you're a gamer looking to get your rig ready for gaming in 2011.

The sequel to the most graphically advanced PC game ever, Crysis, hits shops in March.

As an official Microsoft partner, Software4Students enables students, parents, grandparents and guardians in Ireland to buy Windows 7 64-bit upgrade versions at academic prices.

The licence is restricted to one per student but it won't expire and comes in either Professional or Ultimate editions.

Downloading Windows 7 is a popular option if you don't want to wait on the physical DVD to be delivered by post.

However, it does require a few extra installation steps compared to the DVD. Therefore, we recommend that less advanced users stick to physical media to minimise potential confusion.

Existing Windows XP and Vista users should find out if your PC can run Windows 7 before ordering.

















A New Adventure

The March release date for Crysis 2 gives gamers time to figure out how to upgrade their existing PC for maximum performance at minimum cost.

One of the great advantages that both Vista and Windows 7 presented was installing device drivers via Windows Update, often without the need for the original installation disks.

It's only if you have to reinstall XP on an old machine that you realise how reliant you can become on this particular feature.

If you're new to gaming, be aware that using Windows 7 drivers for your graphics card is not a good idea.

Any generic GPU drivers should be uninstalled and then install the latest official drivers from the card manufacturer's website.

64 Bit Windows 7 Ultimate is a popular choice with gamers.

It's debatable how much use students will get out of BitLocker encryption and certainly the Professional Upgrade edition is sufficient for most of us.

Vote With Your Wallet

A lot has been written about software piracy and if you don't obtain a PC game legally, it discourages companies from taking risks creatively.

The concept of showing support for creators and companies by 'voting with your wallet' is one that I wholeheartedly support.

At Software4Students Ireland, value for money is at the core of our guiding principles.

You don't expect to get your petrol or weekly food shopping for free so why should some people think it's OK to illegally download games, software programs or music?

Between Steam and Games for Windows there is some PC gaming innovation taking place in the online marketplace.

Our own actions will influence not only our peers but the next generation.

Are you ready to vote with your wallet?


64 Bit Windows 7 downloads are legal, cheap and available from Software4Students.
