If you recently decided to make the upgrade to Microsoft’s latest operating system offering of Windows 7 (and even if you haven’t, I STRONGLY suggest you do, as it’s almost perfect), or have even been hesitating updating your OS because you don’t want to spend time reinstalling the numerous pieces of software you’ve amassed on your system over the years, fret no more. (And of course, for those of you that regularly format and reinstall Windows OS’s that aren’t Windows 7, this is still applicable.) I recently my laptop’s OS from Vista to Windows 7 (good riddance) and I was able to save over an hour of tedious “download installer”, “click install”, and “do not sign up for newsletter” actions by using a great tool called Ninite Easy PC Setup. Keep reading for the guide on how you can use it yourself.
- Visit the Ninite website at http://www.ninite.com.
- Check the software that you want. There’s a plethora of freeware, some that you may not have even heard of and may wish to give a trial run.
- Hit the big Get Installer button, download the installer, and run it.
- Follow the prompts on the screen and let it go.
All the software you had selected has now been installed on your shiny new OS. Easy as that!
