Do you need a key or anything? I downloaded a copy from Usenet a couple days ago which I never got round to installing (checked the MD5 against a known good copy tho) but there's no point in downloading it again from MS if it'll work as is.

All up and running and completely painless. Trying to work out what's changed...

Reckon I'm just going to format and install Windows 7. Saves the faffing about with partitioning and dual booting (every time I've ever dual booted, I've always settled on one OS leaving the other redundant), and gives me something to tinker with

Just be aware that if you do that, some things don't work with Windows 7 yet (mostly things that dig deep into the OS like some anti-virus products, Punkbuster and so on).

No problems there
I really have very basic uses for PCs now As long as I can go online and use Word, that's all I need really.Done a bit of research and can't see anything affecting me really, touch wood!

Go for it then.
I just need to find somewhere to install it. Looking like it'll be one of the two laptops - either my old netbook-like one or the Dell. |
