Windows 7 is somewhat similar to Windows vista . Windows Experience Index(WEI) was a feature introduced in Windows vista to check all hardware and software parameters and to assign a particular value for each PCs . Most advanced visual effects in Windows (Aero) would appear only when the WEI is 3 or more . Windows Experience Index(WEI) settings in Windows 7 were took from Windows vista .
But recently their was lot complaints regarding the extremely low values of WEI for people upgraded to Windows 7 . Here I will explain a method to improve Windows Experience Index WEI for Windows 7
