Generally speaking, whatever you did to your old one will need to be done to your new one...

My internet is only for 1 pc

Old_Geezer

If you are not keeping the PC you may want to consider wiping the disks. But why would you specifically need to uninstall software ? Just concentrate on installing it on the new one.

Old_Geezer

"Old" PC obviously.
Another problem due to lack of edit facility.

Your internet is for one PC! I think you are a bit mistaken there.............

I should have said my internet security disc says on it for one computer only

Frank97

I think you'll need to buy new security as you have already installed it on one computer, I could be wrong though.

or get free. Even if you buy online, some are quite cheap

Sorry to be a pain and thick but I pay for my security along with my monthy subscription of broadband. Been like this for nearly 5 years. Now I will be only using 1 computer so this is why I want to know if I have to uninstall it from this pc as I have the disc then reinstall it on the new one. Hope I have simplflyed it .

No, Wendilla, just disconnect your old pc and get the new one up and running.
Who is your ISP?

You pay for your security monthly??? Who is your Broadband provider?
