Thank you Al and Chuck have just installed it. Might as well ask another ? while i am here - what is the easiest and least complicated way to add more space on my computer. Thank you, Janet

The easy way is to get an external hard drive and archive off anything you don't need on a day to day basis. (two external hard drives are better so you have two copies in case one gets damaged)

You've not said if you have a laptop or desktop, in most desktops adding a second hard drive internally is possible and in both replacing the hard drive for a larger one is possible (but drastic and you'd have to install everything again)

In emergency ... my tips ...
Uninstall old unwanted programmes .. from Add/Remove
Clear out temp folders/files
Go into System restore and back off the percent a little bit.
Reboot.

Laptop:
Buy a second add-on USB drive for backups and copy important stuff to it.
