Two co-workers swapping laptops- what do I need to know
I have a Dell Vostro 3700 laptop that has Windows 7 pro 32 bit.
My co-worker has a Dell Vostro 3700 laptop with Windows 7 pro 64 bit.
I do more high-powered work with my machine (Photoshop CS5) and need the added RAM potential of the 64 bit operating system.
He has agreed to swap laptops with me.
Can anyone give me some advice on what to watch out for?
I'm not sure the best methods for doing this.
I was thinking I'd just create a new user on his PC giving it my user name, and create a new user on my PC with his user name and then start setting up each user from scratch, copying file folders as necessary and installing apps as needed.
We primarily use Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager (using an outside exchange server).
Our company has a Windows server that is being used as a depository for our files, but there are still plenty of files stored locally on each of our laptops.
Thanks in advance
