Update Ahoy;
Just finished the tax return and was attempting to sort out a quick job before doing the swap. Then Micrsoft and Norton sent out updates that didn’t like each other. Dreaded BSD. Worked fine in safe mode but computer didn’t like normal mode – tried going back two restore points too.
So necessity brought about the swap.
Managed to locate all my back ups in safe mode so got two copies of each. Then whipped out the HDD and slipped in the SDD.
Powered up and loaded Win 7. Loaded my other programes and Microsoft Security Essentials. All is working great. Can’t find my copy of Office but if push comes to shove I’ll just get a new copy.
Laptop seems very quiet, I didn’t think I’d notice it so much. It’s noticably faster (although this maybe mainly Win 7). Battery lasts longer.
Not sure what was storedon my old set-up but (minus Office) there’s nearly half the hard drive space used on the new set up.
Next job is fixing the office network!
