I just ordered a new computer. This Windows 7 system will be my first laptop, and it will come with only the 64 bit Home Premium OS installed. I plan to install NIS 2010 as the first software, and I'll use the downloaded file (which I'll get first on my desktop system and transfer via USB drive), as my CD is for NIS 2009. (I have the additional license available from the original multi-license purchase.) I'm reluctant to establish wireless Internet connectivity prior to installing NIS, but will the installation need the Internet available? Also, will NIS automatically disable the Windows 7 firewall?
I appreciate your help. As a long time desktop and XP Pro user, I suddenly feel like a computer novice all over!
