Re: Can a windows 7 computer turn on by its self
You can do all the above by creating scheduled Windows tasks. The only thing you can't do with Windows is have the computer turn back on. This you can do from the BIOS in the power management tools. There should be some setting like "Auto power up" or "Resume by alarm" or something like that. (each BIOS will be different). To get onto you BIOS restart your computer and press delete when you get to the screen that says "Press DEL to enter SETUP" (or F12, or whatever it says to press to get into BIOS).
To learn about scheduling tasks look here:
