    ok micro office now downloaded :) didn't get an option to do custom download though.

    yeah i can not believe how fast the laptop is now,it has never run this fast think it is because it hasn't got them extra programs like net intelligence and learn and write etc :D

    is there much to do to get it back to windows 7 professional?

    There is always the option for a Custom installation, you just missed it.

    Having more RAM also helps the thing to start faster and allows you to do more at the same time without waiting for an age for things to happen.
    In this case as you already have a licence for Window 7 Professional, it's no problem for me to fix it.

    How are we doing with Windows Update/Microsoft Update as above.
    Once you've done that updates for Office and Drivers should start to come through.
