With the average age of SVX owners becoming significantly younger, I thought I'd throw myself on the mercy of you young'ins who are certainly more plugged-into bits & bytes than I.
I recently upgraded my 6 year old Dell to a new HP Desktop with Windows 7. It has a terabyte of memory which is more than have stored in my 70 year old head. It seems "new & improved" means "you now get to spend extra bucks to get MS Word". I had a semi-guru download all my word files to a memory stick about a year ago. The first thing I wondered was will my files from a 2006 Word version be downloadable to the newest version that I haven't purchased yet. However...NOW, (lucky me, maybe), I found my 2006 MS Works Suite CDs in a shoebox. Of course the CDs say "Do not lend, make copies of.....for distribution with a new computer only...blah, blah. The Dell used Windows XP. Is there any sane reason why I can't just load these CDs in the new 'puter without blowing something up?
Your professional advise welcome.
Ron.
