Installing Upgrade on New Computer

J

I am momentarily getting a new computer. I am going to be faced with the
task of reinstalling software much of which were upgrades to previous
versions.... including Office.

It has been awhile since I was faced with this and was wondering if I am
going have to reintall Office 97 in order to reinstall Office XP Professional
which was an upgrade.

Thanks much.

During the install of office XP it will look for a qualifying product for
the upgrade. Since it will not find one on the new PC, it will ask you to
insert the CD from a qualifying office product. If 97 is eligible for
upgrade office XP will continue with the full install. I said "if" because I
cannot remember all the versions that did qualify.

Thanks Bill

I needed a "refresher" on this issue

97 must have been a qualifying product as it was the last one I had before XP
