Default references for changing to Win7 from XP?

When you're a broke unemployed machinist in
retraining, your options are limited. Refurbished machine for $200 or
try to find XP 64 install disks somewhere.
I'd have "banked" this machine, save that the XP box died about
the same time.

knew I should have upgraded XP to 64 bit when that came out)

Same question on that: *should* have? Why do you say that? My view on
that is even stronger: it's a mistake for most people.


Maybe so. But I have to know Word, despite it being an inferior
product, because so many places use only it; accept no submissions
which are not Word compatible.



But I don't understand that. You don't need 64-bit Windows to run
Word.


Nope. But I do need it for work/school.
