SOLVED Internet Explorer 9

[Cataloochee]

What are the drawbacks in installing Windows Internet Explorer 9? Do you loose anything? How better is it than E8? How can I find E8 on my computer? It's not at the bottom of Windows update in "View Installed Updates". I am thinking about installing the new E9 Cataloochee

If this is for a Vista or Windows 7 computer, there are no drawbacks. IE9 is better in several way, most notably, security.

If this is for an XP computer, you are stuck with IE8.

E8 and #9

I have Windows Internet Explorer 7 Home Premium Edition (64-bit) with E8 (I think). I haven't found E8 yet unless it's in View Updates. E9 looks good but I don't want loose any material, which I have heard it happens. A present I'm trying the 64-bit instead of the other Internet Explorer which doesn't indicate if it's 32 or 64.

No, you mixing up things. You have Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. There is no E8. There is Internet Explorer 8, also called IE8. And IE9, not E9.

Well, well, no wonder I couldn't find Internet Explorer 8, but is that all i have,no IE8? I look at your specs. You have the same thing in Internet Explorer 7 I have, 64-bit. Do you have a IE8? Cataloochee

No. Part of practicing safe computing is staying current. And with Windows 7, the current version of Internet Explorer for Windows 7 is IE9. So that is what I use.
