Why You Should Not Use Exam Dumps For Windows 7 Certifications

I have 2 strong reasons why you should not use exam dumps for Windows 7 certifications as listed below:

  1. By using exam dumps you may pass the exam, but you will not learn any thing about Windows 7 operating system and services.
  2. Suppose you get certified in Windows 7 technologies, and somebody ask you a practical question in the interview, and you have no knowledge about the scenario as you have only passed the exam, not prepared the exam. It will throw a negative impact on your way of getting certified.

So friends, always use authentic study materials, book, and guides at least for certifications like Windows 7 where practical knowledge of the subject is must.

Error code: 0xC004F061

The error “0xC004F061″ is related to activation of Windows 7. Reason for this error is using a product key for an upgrade version of Windows 7 and a previous version of Windows wasn’t on your computer when Windows 7 was installed. Windows Vista or Windows XP must be installed on the computer before you install an upgrade version of Windows 7.

Do not format the drive before starting the installation process before upgrading the product key to activate Windows 7.

Font management in Windows 7

The user interface for font management has been overhauled. As with Windows Vista, the collection of installed fonts is shown in a Windows Explorer window, but fonts from the same font family appear as “stacks” instead of as individual icons. A user can then double-click on the font stack and see the individual font. A preview of the font is displayed as part of the icon as well. New options for hiding installed fonts are included; a hidden font remains installed, but is not enumerated when an application asks for a list of available fonts. Windows Vista had received considerable criticism for including the same “Add Font” dialog that had existed as far back as Windows NT 3.; this dialog has been removed.

The Font dialog box has also been updated to show previews of the font selection in the selection lists.

The fontview.exe default font viewing application has replaced the “Properties” button with a “Install” button.

The Easiest Microsoft exam: 70-683: Windows 7 Preinstalling for OEMs

Hello Friends,

I recently passed my 70-683 exam (Windows 7: Preinstalling for OEMs). I found this exam easiest of all Microsoft exams. Microsoft has specified very few objectives for the 70-683 exam.

The exam is all about deploying Windows 7 for OEMs. An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by a company and retailed under that purchasing company’s brand name.

Microsoft’s 70-683 test validates your skills and knowledge to efficiently use the Microsoft OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) and imaging tools to deploy and maintain Windows 7 desktops and additional tools. There are no specific prerequisites for the test 70-683.

In the earlier days of this exam, there were no specific study metarial on the Internet. But today you can get loads of study metarials for preparing for this exam.

I prepared for the 70-683 exam with the help of practice tests and study metarials provided by uCertify. I must say it helped me a lot for the preparation. You can visit to have a fail deal for the test 70-683.

Passing the 70-683 exam gives you an MCTS certificate. Before taking the 70-683 exam you must know the basics of Windows 7 deployment including various tools such as DISM, Windows SIM, ImageX, Oscdimg, Windows PE, etc. The 70-683 exam mostly moves arround these tools.

Preapre for 70-683 and pass 70-655 as well.

Hello Friends

I have searched two exams that are very similar to each other in many aspects. One is 70-683: Preinstalling Windows 7 for OEMs and the other one is 70-655: Preinstalling for Windows Vista OEMs. These two exams are having very similar objective. One is based on Windows 7 and the other one is based on Windows Vista. But the technologies on which these exams are very much same nearly 70%. So if you prepare for one exam, you have almost prepared the second exam as well. The 70-683 exam has very few objective and I think this is the easiest exam of Microsoft…..

Both these exams are very much in demand now a days. They are based on the latest operating system of Microsoft. It will be a good idea for candidates seeking jobs like IT technician or System Engineer.

So you just need to prepare for one, and you will feel that you have covered most of the objectives of the second exam too.</p>
