Answer 5_1_6

Question 6  A new set of computers is going to be installed in a department in a company.  The other computers are not powerful enough to run the new operating system.  What problems will this cause?  How can they be reduced?

Problems:

• Data files may well not be read properly between different versions of the same program.
• Software from the new system will not work on the old system.
• The hardware is incompatible.

These problems can be reduced by saving files on the new system in the form of the old system, e.g. save a WORD file as a WORD 97 file.
