Possible Upgrade issue?
I ran my pc on Vista. I wanted to upgrade to 7 and bought Windows 7 Professional upgrade for Vista. Everything was beautiful.
Last week my motherboard died (on a HP pc less than a year old ) so I brought my pc to my computer guy. He installed XP (it's the only OS he'll use) and then took my windows 7 and installed that as I couldn't get it to install. Well, I'm having a load of program issues. So this morning I woke up thinking maybe the problems stem from the 7 disk being an upgrade for Vista and we upgraded from XP. Whatcha think?
Now if I go buy a full version of Windows 7, can I install over what I have on here already or do I, once again , have to back up everything and start from a clean drive??
Also, I'm using Outlook again. My PC guy put it on the pc so of course I jumped right on it to see if it could be used. It has it's issues, a few errors when I first open the program, but it does work. Didn't Outlook become obsolete with 7?
Please help. Before the motherboard died, my video card died. I needed to buy a new one of those and then a new psu to support it. My printer also died! So for about a month I've been dealing with PC issues, shelling out all kinds of money and I've had it. I'd like to wrap all these problems up and just be done with it.
Thanks
