Welcome to the Windows 7 Professional Test Drive Experience!
Learn more about Windows 7 Professional in two ways: Get hands-on and actually “test drive”; or simply watch a video about the features.

Test Drive

New to the Test Drive experience? Experience Windows 7 Professional in a fully-functioning environment, without having to install the full version. Follow guided steps to complete tasks using Windows 7 Professional features. Here are some quick tips to get you in the driver’s seat in no time:

• Start by choosing a topic on the right that you would like to try
• You will go through a quick check to ensure that your machine has all the requirements needed to run the test drive (the full System Requirements are listed below)
• Once you have passed the requirements, you may have need to wait a few moments while your experience “starts up”. This is a full-functioning version of Windows 7 Professional that you will be accessing, so you can get hands on with all of the new features, without having to install the full version on your own 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 do need to send special keys, like the @ symbol, please note that is SHIFT+2 in US.
• Once your Test Drive begins, we recommend that you download the Lab Manual, by clicking on the icon in the upper right side of your console. Or, you can follow along in-line with instructions on the right.
