Hi all
Can anyone give me some help please?
I have a copy of Win7 (well somewhere) because I purchased my Dell laptop as Win7 was about to come out and for postage cost I was allowed to buy it.
I think it is time to upgrade but I am unsure if I am up to it.
I have run Win7 Upgrade Advisor Report and a few things are highlighted and I have no idea if they are needed.
System
Windows Mail and Parental Controls (web filtering)
These features are no longer included in Win7 - no one other than myself uses this computer so can I foget this?
More info from Dell Inc. - Dell Inc has a website that might give you more info about getting Win7 running on your PC
Devices
Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller - Action Recommended - Before installing Win7 go to the device manufacturer's website to download latest drive. I do not know which device this is for.
Programs
Roxio Creator DE - I contacted Roxio and they say this Creator v10 is a unsupported version and incompatible with modern operating systems. We encourage you to reach out to our community forums.
If I knew what this program was for I can decide if it is needed.
All the other things flagged I think I can address.
Anyone help with any of the above please?
