I come from the IBM mainframe generation. Upgrading to a new release of the operating system did not mean recreating the world, it was meant to be as painless as possible to the end user. New versions were generally backwards compatible with previous versions even if the new versions off greatly advanced features and functionality. Application software still ran as intended and was left in place.
Is it possible to install a new version of Windows without having to re-install all of my application software? To reinstall all of my software would take many hours and I would probably loose some data.
Please tell me that I am not asking for too much. My Windows guru sons say that I am.
