Will soon be installing new hard drive on HP 8380. I had planned on just
loading everything up from my HP recovery disk, but got to thinking. (A very
dangerous thing.) As I recall, the computer originally came with IE 5, or
5.5 (maybe even an earlier version?) But the current version is 6.0. So,
would it not be a good thing to go straight to 6.0, instead of installing an
earlier version from the original disk? Seems to me that it would be.
If so, how do I do that?
On other programs (Quicken, for example) I figure I will opt not to install
from original disk . . . will just install from later, Quicken 2002 disk for
instance. But, can I reject the IE version on the HP recovery disk? If so,
how do I get IE 6.0 loaded?
Any other similar issues I have to concern myself with along these lines?
Life was so simple before when I was ignorant . . .
