Hi

All the topics covered in the A+ does it applied to Windows 7?

i.e. where the user profile is stored or where disk management is located?

The reason i'm asking is because i can't find a copy of vista anywhere in my local computer store and they only stock windows 7. Don't wanna spend £67 on windows 7 if i need Vista

Thank you

Dave

Vista will be covered by the newer A+ not 7 but if I were you I wouldn't buy either just for th A+.

I doubt there will be many questions and anyhow doing the odd control panel thing will be the same process as xp. If your that worried just take a walking into pc world or something and have a mess about on one the display pcs, that is if you can fin done with vista on it.

 

Who actually buys software these days?

 

I hope your not advocating piracy, that sort of thing is frowned upon here.

 

I do. So does my company, every company I've ever worked for, and everyone else I know

 

Damn, I'm pretty sure I've heard you say this to someone before......

 

People who want to stay legal.

Piracy isn't a victimless crime. If everyone were to pirate software, and all those companies go out of business, from whom would you steal then?

You laugh now... but when that shoe is firmly placed on YOUR foot, you'll think differently.

EDIT: I take a look around at where I am at the moment and realize that this is probably the only anti-piracy post you'll see from my current side of the world! lol!

 

As GBL mentioned, you don't necessarily need to buy a copy of either just for an exam. While I always recommend hands-on experience whenever possible, if you have a good study tool, you can probably get by without purchasing Vista or 7 if you have no other plans to use it.

 

You could always get an evaluation version of Windows 7, with the usual 90 day time-bomb.

Or as was mentioned, play with a computer at any store and you'll get your fix.

 

You could always try an emulator website, it might give you a general understanding of what you are trying to do.
