I got the Windows 7 upgrade for three computers. I have Windows Live One Care one all three of them. Tof of them are laptops and one is a desk top. Mine is the first one that I want to install Windows 7 on, since I will be installing it on all three. During the pre install Windows 7 wants me to uninstall Windows Live One Care. I don’t want to since That is my back up and has been for the past three years and it should be compatible since it is a Windows program. I thought about doing a clean install on the partition that I have Windows on on my laptop but Windows doesn’t seem to want to install on that partition. I have Compaq Presario C 500 32 bit operating system running Vista home Premium 2 Service Pack 2. It has two drives partitioned C: is 87G and I still have 40 G free and D: is 5.81 G is where Windows is located. If Live One Care is on C: Why would Windows 7 want it removed? Windows 7 needs to be on D where Vista is now. Over the three years I’ve had this laptop I’ve never had to reformat this hard drive.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
