Hi,
We use “Windows Vista 64 bits” as an O.S. & w’d like to use “Windows 7″ as an alternative O.S.
I tried to specify a default O.S. in Vista & Windows 7 dual boot PC. Following the instructions, I opened “Control Panel”, I’ve:
“System & Maintenance (Get started with Windows, Backup your computer)”,
“Security (Check for update, Check this computer’s security status, Allow a program through windows firewall)”.
I opened all fields related to “Maintenance” & “Security”, but I couldn’t reach “Advanced System Setting”
Please advise how can we get it.
Thank you.
Fam.
