Message: [QUOTE="biglou, post: 466867"] I have a question. My IT guy at work can change my OS from ME to 2000. He says it will be just like starting with a new computer with Windows2000 on it. My question is, I don't have discs for all of my programs that I have on my PC at home, it just came with the programs already on the computer. He says there is no way to extract these programs to save them for reinstallation once we change the OS. Does this sound right? Are these programs on the start up disc or on a backup disc somewhere? The reason I am looking to upgrade is because, well, ME sucks, in case no one's noticed! I also realize that I may have given incomplete info here as I am at work at the moment. I need to do some more research or get some more info before I tear the system down and bring the box in to work for the transplant. Any ideas on any of this? Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
