Uninstalling Office 2010 Starter

[ChrisJakarta]

The new netbook I'm setting up comes with Office 2010 Starter. Since the family still have two installations of Office 2007 Home and Student unused, I'm planning to install that. Should I uninstall the Office 2010 Starter first? I'd rather leave it there initially just in case there's a problem with the Office 2007 install, and uninstall after I'm certain the 2007 version is running OK.

Any ideas/experience?

Thanks
Chris

I'd uninstall Office 2010 Starter, for two reasons:
- Chances are that Office 2010 won't work correctly after installling Office 2007.
- Wo wants Office 2010 Starter anyway? It consists of severely limited versions of Word and Excel only (no PowerPoint, no OneNote) in which a considerable portion of the screen is taken up by a non-removeable advertising pane.

Thanks again, Hans - good advice as usual.

Office 2010 Starter removed without problem, Office 2007 H&S installed, also without problem.

I'm always a bit worried irretrievably removing stuff from other people's computers...

Revo took out Starter and Pro installed smoothly. No problems so far.

PS for Hans on "Who wants Starter anyway?" Err I do! It came with my netbook and was all I needed on that platform as I travelled.
