Updating Windows 7 with Classic Shell already installed
I know that Classic Shell works with Windows 8, but I want to know what
will happen if I install Windows 8 as an update to Windows 7 that already has Classic Shell installed. Will it automatically be applied to Windows 8, or will I have to reinstall it to get the Start menu and all? -- Crash "Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness." ~ Leroy Jethro Gibbs ~

Not a bad idea anyway since it's been updated fairly recently. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/

Updating Windows 7 with Classic Shell already installed
It's probably in your best interest to remove Classic Shell prior to using a Win8 Upgrade CD since the Upgrade Assistant may see it
as non-compatible. Once the system is upgraded to Win8, then reinstall the 3rd party application. -- ....winston msft mvp "Dave "Crash" Dummy" wrote in message ...
