Welcome to the Windows 7 Professional Test Drive Experience.

Learn more about Windows 7 Professional in two ways:  Get hands-on and "test drive"; or simply watch a video about the features.

But first, you must ensure that you have:

1. Internet Explorer 6 or a newer version
2. Microsoft Windows XP or a newer operating system
3. Enable cookies in Internet Explorer
4. Install ActiveX Control (if you do not have, your browser will prompt you to download once you have clicked to Test Drive.)

Click for more detailed  System Requirements


Go to the right and select any category / subcategory and either click Test Drive OR Video

Once your requirements are validated, the test drive environment will load so you can get a hands-on experience with all of the new features -- without having to install the full version on your machine.

• A few notes about the environment:
  • If you have never participated in a Test Drive before, you may receive a pop-up regarding authenticating via NTLM. Please check "Don’t ask me again" and then click "Yes".
  • The Test Drive is configured for the US Keyboard layout, so if you need to use special keys, like the @ symbol, please note that it is SHIFT+2 in US.

We hope you enjoy the Windows 7 Professional Test Drive Experience!
