Windows Vista to Windows 7 (laptop, email, installing, work) - Computers -PCs, laptops, hardware, software - City-Data Forum

I bought a laptop a few months ago with Vista installed. I received the Windows 7 upgrade and I'm installing it now. I just got a message that WIN Mail that came installed is not included, that I will have to get it. What is going on, I upgrade and they take off Win Mail??

I'm sorry now I upgraded, Vista worked fine for me.

The replacement is called Windows Live Mail and its a free download.

Mail - Windows Live

Thanks so much, I'll try it. I had winmail set up to accept my emails from comcast. Now I have to see if this will work.

It will work just fine, you probably won't even be able to tell the difference between the 2

Thank you guys for the help. It took hours to upgrade but all went well, even the email. My laptop is Toshiba, which included it's own setup when getting the upgrade.
