Hi Tim, I can’t answer your question about the hard drive. However, I wanted to tell you that the Office 2010 starter version on your new computer is not very useful. Microsoft wants you to go online and buy a full version. Or you can order one from someplace like Staples, if they have a store near where you live. Yoou would then uninstall that starter version and install the full version. Hope this helps, Sue S.

My old computer runs XP and my new one runs 7. Will that be a problem? Also, does anyone know how to change XP files into 7 files? My new computer has Office Starter 2010, but whenever I try to open a document, it says it can't open Office 2010 (the regular version). How do I get it to open documents with the Starter version?
