Windows 7 Professional: Windows 7 for business PCs

Windows 7 Professional is the edition of Windows 7 for use in the office and in small businesses. It supports logging on to a company domain and contains features for working on the corporate network. Today, the edition is mainly used to keep operating specialist applications, control or measurement programs and devices for which software and drivers are only available for Windows 7, or to provide such a system in a virtual machine.

Operation and features

The taskbar is used to start programs and switch between open windows. With Snap, you drag a window to the edge of the screen and Windows automatically adjusts its size, for example to display a spreadsheet next to a document. Device Stage shows the status of connected devices such as cameras or mobile phones in one place, and the Windows Mobility Center brings together the settings for notebooks.

Features for the corporate network

In corporate networks, a PC with Windows 7 Professional can log on to a Windows domain, so that user accounts and permissions are managed centrally. With Offline Files, documents from the office network can be edited even without a connection; as soon as the computer is back on the network, Windows synchronises the changes automatically. Location-aware printing sends documents to the appropriate default printer depending on the network, at home to your own printer and in the office to the printer there. Via the HomeGroup, files and printers can be shared with other Windows 7 PCs.
