Google Homepage Windows 7

I have new computer with Windows7 installed.
I have tried to make Google my Homepage via Internet Options but keeps reverting to Bing.
Any advice appreciated.

    at the top of the screen will be a banner "make google your home page?" click yes and that should do it

    Assuming Internet Explorer;

    Tools > Internet Options. On the first tab select Settings in the search section.

    Change the homepage to suit.

    Check the search options. Remove any you do not wish to use.

    I find Windows7 very hard to navigate as I had very old version of Windows previously and used Firefox. I am afraid to install Firefox in case I complicate matters further!!!

    Go for it - I suspect it will simplify not complicate! :D
