14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just released the final version of Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7, so the company most likely expects the majority of users to make the move to the latest build of its in-house browser.
System requirements are pretty important, however, when it comes to such an update, especially since the preview version of IE10 for Windows 7 was often criticized for slowing down computers.
The final version of the browser is obviously supposed to provide a full browsing experience, so you shouldn’t experience any slowdown or errors while using it, but feel free to use the comment section below to tell us about the issues or bugs that you may discover in IE10 for Windows 7.
Of course, this new build works just fine on both x64 and x86 versions of Windows 7, but keep in mind that Service Pack 1 is required in order to be allowed to install it. As always, we strongly recommend to create a restore point before proceeding with the IE10 installation.
