7.5.1 What is Try&Decide

The Try&Decide feature allows you to create a secure, controlled temporary workspace on your

computer without requiring you to install special virtualization software. You can perform various

system operations without worrying that you might damage your operating system, programs or

data.

If you make virtual changes that you want to keep, you may apply them to your original system.

Among the operations you may attempt with this feature is to open mail attachments from unknown

senders or visit websites that might contain potentially troublesome content.

For example, if you visit a website or open an email attachment that puts a virus on your temporary

duplicate, you can simply destroy the duplicate and no harm will be done – the virus will not appear

on your machine.

It is important to remember that if you download e-mail from a POP mail server, create new files or edit existing

documents while in the Try mode and then decide to discard your changes, those files, document changes, and

mail will no longer exist. If you use POP email, make sure to change the settings in your e-mail to leave your

mail on the server before you activate the Try mode. This way, you can always retrieve your email again.

Similarly, save new files and/or edited documents to a drive not protected by Try&Decide.

After starting the Try mode you can safely install any system updates, drivers and applications

without worrying about what might happen to your system. If anything goes wrong, you can simply

discard the changes made in the Try mode.

One of the best features of Try&Decide is that it isolates your "real" operating system from changes

to the temporary operating system duplicate made by updates. Because of this, you can safely install

system updates when they appear. When Windows Update informs you that updates for the system

and Microsoft applications are ready for installation, turn on the Try&Decide and then proceed to
