- I am upgrading to windows 7. Can I install windows live?
Answers
- One Care is not compatible with Windows 7. From the One Care end of sale guidance page:
I AM PLANNING ON UPGRADING TO WINDOWS 7, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Windows Live OneCare will not be retrofitted for Windows 7 or on Windows XP Mode in Windows 7. Get more information on what other security solutions you can use to remain protected. If you have uninstalled OneCare and would like to recover your OneCare backup files, you can do so by utilizing the Windows Live OneCare Backup Restore Tool. If you want to run security software on Windows XP Mode in Windows 7, we recommend using Microsoft Security Essentials. http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecaregeneral/thread/81996436-edad-41ba-bdfc-02fc094e2ca9
