But after getting over the trial validity,it asks for buying full version, some of us don't have money to buy those software. Most of the times we will format our PC to run those trial versions again. Now here is a simple trick to extend the validity of Trial version.

  • It's difficult to change the serial number manually
  • So that,you can use a software(freeware) to change the serial number
  • Download Hard Disk Serial Number Changer , freeware to use.
  • Install it and Run it after the installation 
  • Now a window will be displayed and ask whether you want to change the serial number.
  • just click on change
  • That's all.. now restart your PC and reinstall the trial versions..
Note:

Hi friend,
               You might have been familiar with Windows Vista ReadyBoost. But Windows 7 has improved the capabilities of ReadyBoost over Windows Vista. Vista offers support for only one Ready boost device,which can be of Maximum 4GB in size. But Windows 7 supports  maximum of 8 ReadyBoost Devices of maximum size 32GB each.

                                                             You may think,"why can't i use my traditional hard disk for this purpose?". No you can't.. because the RAM stores and accesses data from USB drives faster than your traditional hard disk. PCs ,which are using SSD(Solid State drives) doesn't need this method to speed up the performance, because USB & SSD are having the same speed of processing. Now let us see the steps to configure The ReadyBoost
