The installation of WINner Tweak is easy and intuitive. You can place the program files where you want the. It also asks if you want a desktop and quick launch icons. After you finish the install and start WINner Tweak you find that you 15 days to evaluate the software. Plus then it does something that I've never seen another program do. It asks if you want to create a System Restore point. This is really good thinking on the part of the WINner Tweak people. After all it is a Tweak Utility and you are apt to make changes with it, and if you want your system restored to where it was before you can easily restore it.

WINner Tweak as you may know faces some stiff competition from other software. The 800 lb gorilla of this type of software is System Mechanic. So the big question is how does WINner Tweak stack up against System Mechanic? The first thing that is noticeable is the price difference, System Mechanic costs at least double the price of WINner Tweak. Is System Mechanic worth twice the price? The answer is NO it isn't. WINner Tweak does as much and in my mind more than System Mechanic.
