windows-7 In the Windows 7 beta, the Windows Experience Index of Primary Hard disk is rated lower than Windows Vista. This is not possible as the Windows Experience Index (WEI) is up to 7.9 in Windows 7 and its 5.9 in Windows Vista.

Maybe this is a small bug or something in the beta version and I hope it will change in the RC and future version of Windows 7. In the mean time, if you are like me and would like the ratings to be higher, here is a quick fix. For some games you may need a higher base score, so this may be a possible solution for the time being.

So, how to correct WEI of primary hard disk in Windows 7?

Here is an example of how the primary hard disk is rated lower initially in Windows 7.
