Office Professional 2010 install Question
Hello,
I am soon upgrading VISTA - 64 to Wndows 7 - 64 bit. After that I want to install Office Professional 2010. I currently have Office 2007 Professional and wonder if I have to uninstall it before 2010 goes on. Also - are there any "gotchas" in doing this? For instance, will my OUTLOOK contacts, email, etc. be affected by this?
Thanks, Bob

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
You can upgrade to Office 2010.The upgrade should also keep your outlook contact, but you may want to back the contacts up just in case.At the link below are instructions for upgrading.

Thank you for the response. I do not know if I have 32 or 64 bit Office 2007. Displaying the ABOUT info I do not see this info, just the version. One last Q. How does one back up the contacts? Thanks again. Bob

The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.

P.S. if you haven't yet purchased Office 2010, you may wish to try the Consumer Previe of Office 2013. It should be released soon:
• Microsoft Office 2013 Consumer Preview
• Microsoft Visio 2013 Consumer Preview

All versions of Office 2007 are 32 bit. The 64 bit version of Office was brought out in Office 2010.
Personally I would recommend a clean installation of Windows 7. See here for instructions for installing Windows 7 via A Clean Install: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/1434.1-1-a-clean-install-of-windows-7-on-dell-systems.aspx
As you will be using the 64 bit version of Windows 7 you might as well install the 64 bit version of Office 2010.
