How will you upgrade to 7.0? It is no longer available from Adobe (CS, aka version 8 is current). If you do have the disks already, you can use the program with either 2000 or XP without trouble.

That’s what comes of overplanning…
I purchased the photoshop 7.0 upgrade as well as the upgrade to Illustrator 10 many moons ago. I have not installed them yet because I am a die hard procrastinator.
Do not upgrade your operating system by using the upgrade option in Win2K or WinXP. Do a clean install. It will take a bit longer but you’ll save yourself a world of tears by doing it right.

After doing a clean install of either Windows XP or Windows 2K will I be able to run my licensed authorized copies of photoshop 7.x and illustrator 10.x which had been running on windows 98?
Absolutely. If they are upgrade versions you’ll need an earlier version CD for verification during the install.

Is one operating system more compatable, less risky, with Adobe products than others? Should I run Windows2K or WindowsXP given that I am going to install Illustrator 10 with upgrade from version 9.x and photoshop 7 with upgrade from version 5.x?
I have the full versions of adobe Illustrator 9.0 and Adobe photoshop 5.0 both of which will be upgraded using the adobe upgrade software, licenced and authorized of course.
They’re both rock solid operating systems. I really like XP for the little extras like easy CD burning.

I hope I’m not going to the well one too many times here but can I be certain that my older Adobe software will run on XP (my preference) or W2k. I also own Quark Express 4.0. I wonder what compatibility issues lurk there.
ps7 will run under xp. keep in mind that microsoft’s upgrade path is along the xp line NOT the win2k line. i don’t know about quark. see me next week and I’ll get your card printed up for the prograstinator’s club… 😉
They should run fine. As for Quark, you really should check out InDesign. It blows Quark way out of the water.
You can download a fully function demo from Adobe’s website.
