Even Celebrity Chefs Forget To Uninstall Trial Software First


#1 Tip via S4S Customer Service   

by SoftwareGuru


At Software4Students we will bend over backwards to make sure you have a positive buying experience.

So when looking back over the last 12 months, customer service would like to highlight one of the most common issues people have in relation to cheap computer software deals.

People often don't uninstall the older or trial version first.

Previous versions of software can often create installation problems if they remain present.

It's an easy mistake to make.

While it may seem incredibly obvious to any experienced computer user, everyone has their own talents.

It's easy to make an omelette but I don't know if I would pass Gordon Ramsay's standards of 'doing the obvious things' right.

As one of the tests that all chefs must take, something as simple as making a tasty omelette can prove problematic if you don't pay attention to detail.

The good news is that to enjoy the money saving software deals from this online UK store, you won't have to break any eggs!




















Run that by me again...

Software4Students' Facebook page regularly features comments from customers explaining their own unique situation.

However, let's take a look at things from a broader perspective.

One thing many computer users forget to do when purchasing new software is to uninstall older versions or trial versions of the software before putting the up-to-date program on their PC.

Every software company will recommend that you remove earlier versions before installing new versions.

When you buy software you had already been testing out, you should always remove the older version of the program.

This will allow the new version to be installed without any problems.

It is not uncommon for people to experience installation problems when trying to install new software alongside or on top of old versions.

The new version or full version will contain content that did not exist in the trial, and users may have usage problems when two versions of the same program are installed.

All of which leads us onto the issue of documents created using trial software.

Here's One I Made Earlier

No one likes losing their stuff.

A lot of people are afraid that they might lose previously saved work if they uninstall the software, but this will not happen as long as you closely follow the on-screen instructions.

Programs will always prompt you to select which items to delete and uninstall, but if you do have worries that you will lose saved documents or files, be sure to back them up before uninstalling old software and installing new software.

You should periodically backup important files on external devices like USB keys, external hard drives, or CDs/DVDs.


Fun Geeky Fact Alert!

Uninstalling old or unused software also frees up space on your computer's hard drive, and more free space will make the computer run more smoothly.

Removing old software is a simple enough process, and many programs will have a uninstall shortcut in the Windows Start Menu.

If there is no shortcut, you can go to Control Panel in the Start Menu, and then Add/Remove Programs. In Windows 7, it's even easier, where there's an Uninstall Programs section in the Control Panel.

So there you have it, the #1 tip from our customer service team.

Do you think we should consider getting it printed on the package address labels..?
