See thread on how to install. Ask ? as needed.

Thanks. I went to the download link for a look see on the computer I'm using now. In the gray are close to the Get Started Now Click On the words are overlapping an issue I'm noticing more and more with IE 8. I have about $140 tops I can work with. That will cover cost of the OS easily at Wally World off the shelf with the disk.

Actually I could download what you are talking about onto my laptop when I visit my sister. That would give me 90 days to change it over as well.

I understand the pro's and advantages of a new machine and the expected life of an older machine. That's why I bought new machines before when I could do it. That said I have yet to have a HD crash or processor burn up. Every computer I ever bought back to one in 1999 still boots up. I use good surge protection on both the phone line and power side which helps. My house voltage is set at 115/230 volts and that also helps as opposed to the now standard 128/256 volts I've been seeing in a lot of places including my house till I raised cain.
