Backing up your computer and creating system restore
points
The procedure for backing up your data and creating system restore
points is different in Windows

7 than in previous versions of
Windows
®
. Please refer to the Windows

Using virtualization technology
(Available on certain models)
Your computer may support virtualization technology that enables
you to run Windows
®
XP-compatible applications on your
Windows
®
7 computer. This gives you the flexibility to continue
using legacy applications while still benefiting from Windows
®
7
improvements. Virtual Windows
®
XP Mode is supported only on
systems running Windows
®
7 Professional or Windows
®
7
Ultimate.
To take advantage of Virtual Windows
®
XP Mode, you may need to
enable the Virtualization Technology setting in your computer’s
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). To check if virtualization
technology is supported on your computer model and to enable it if
necessary, do the following:
1 Start or restart your computer. While the system starts, press
the appropriate key for accessing the BIOS Setup screen.
The key you need to press (usually ESC, F1, F2, or the Del key) varies
by computer model. A message indicating which key to press
displays on the screen shortly after you start or restart the computer.
This message may be expressed as “
F1=Setup” or something
similar.
2 Press the appropriate key (usually
ESC, F1, or F2) for
accessing the BIOS on your computer model, as directed by
the on-screen message.
3 Locate the "Virtualization Technology" setting, if available,
and enable it if necessary.
