      Yeah that sounds like what I want. Did you have to reinstall Office, SU, Thea etc.?

        Yes, I had to install everything, if you are upgrading from 7 to 8 then you can keep all your programs and files, otherwise if you are upgrading from XP or Vista it's a clean install.

          Ok thanks, I appreciate it. It is an XP machine so I will have to reinstall. Now I just have to find my MS Office discs...

              Hey Pete, I noticed that Win 8 is not supported with Microsoft Security Essentials. Looks like Windows Defender comes with 8. Is that all you think you need? I have been very happy with MSE.

                MSE is not needed, Windows 8 defender does everything, it's awesome.

                    Well that was painless. Quick install and Office installed even faster. Only a few applications that my wife needs to download and install. Sweet.

                        Is that the "start" button where Windows users go to stop (quit) the system? πŸ˜›
