Work Anywhere
We live in a mobile world, taking our laptops and devices with us as we move between home, work, and
other places. With Windows 7, you can easily get online and stay online as you move from place to place.
Whether you’re switching from one network to another, attempting to access the Internet from a device,
or taking advantage of mobile broadband, Windows 7 helps keep you connected.

Windows 7 for You: Makes New Things Possible
Work Anywhere
Location Aware Printing
Do you use one printer at home and another at work? With
Windows 7, you no longer need to select the printer each
time you’re in a different place. Instead, you can select a
default printer for each network location you’ve con gured,
and Windows 7 will automatically use that printer when
you’re connected to that network. So when you print at
work, Windows 7 will automatically print to your work printer.
When you print at home, Windows 7 will automatically select
and use your home printer.
View Available Networks
Windows 7 improves how you view and connect to all of your networks, making
the process simple and consistent. You’ll always have one-click access to available
networks, regardless of whether those networks are based on Wi-Fi, mobile broad-
band, dial-up, or your corporate VPN.
Mobile Broadband
With Windows 7, it’s much simpler to connect your PC to the Internet using a wire-
less data card, regardless of which mobile provider you use. It’s just like connecting
to any other wireless network, which can be accomplished by using the View Avail-
able Networks feature, mentioned above. You don’t need to install any additional
software—just insert your wireless data card, your drivers will be installed on  rst use
and your PC will connect to the Internet automatically. And if your PC has a built-in
data card, you’ll be connected to the Internet wherever there’s mobile service.
