Escription software, need new computer. - ES MT


Posted: Feb 15, 2010

I need to buy a new laptop and need to be able to put my escription software on there.  I know that it is required to be 32-bit but do not know if the new Windows 7 32-bit would be okay or not?  Does anybody know this before I go out looking?  It is getting really hard to find a 32 bit computer out there. 

I can help you out - Snow Bunny

You can get a laptop with the new Windows 7 operating system. What you need to do before you can install the Escription software is to create what is called a dual boot system install either the Vista or XP 32-bit OS on the "new partition." After that's done you restart your system and will be offered the option of which OS you want to use. When you've booted into the Vista or XP platform you install all the software that you will need. Just make sure to install Word before Escription, 'cause it'll look for it.

Here's a list of simple instructions:

How can you tell what "bit system" you have? nm - Just curious
