I just bought a new home PC - first one in about 8 years. I am still working on the old one for now as I want to set up the new one right the first time. I have been a user (just that) for 20 years - not an expert by any measure.
I have not put the internet on the new computer yet and I have not installed any software yet.
It has Windows 7.
I have backed up the old computer (Windows XP) on line. I have deleted some software from the new computer such as Norton that I don't intend to use.
For software I will have Office, Outlook, Autocad and SolidWorks and some sort of elementary photo manipulation program. I will work with spread sheets and word, do some drawing, fool with pictures, down load books and music and surf the web for 356 / 911 content and other interests. Beyond that not much else.
I want to have a wireless network and have all the equipment for that. I have a 25" monitor that will also serve as my TV in that room.
I want to do it right the first time (unlike most things I do
) HELP or SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
Thanks very much.
