No, you do not. If you install IE8 over IE7 it automatically imports your bookmarks.

Hello,

No you should not They should be transported over to IE8 when you install it.

NO, they are automatically imported into IE8 as part of the upgrade process. To ensure you do not lose them you can make a backup of your favorites by following the directions below:

Backing Up Your Favorites You can keep a backup of your Favorites in case you accidentally delete any off your list. You can also use this backup to transfer your Favorites list to a different PC or another browser program.


Click on the File menu (in Internet Explorer 7 click the Add To Favorites button) then click Import and Export. You should see a window welcoming you to the Import and Export Wizard. Click Next, then select Export Favorites. Leave the main folder selected on the Export Favorites Source Folder screen and click Next.

Make sure Export to a File or Address is selected, then Browse to a location on your hard drive where you wish to store a copy of your Favorites list. Type a name for your backup, for example MyFavorites and click Save. Click Next, then Finish and a window should tell you the export was successful.

The Favorites backup file is saved as a web page file and it can also be opened in your browser like a normal web page by double-clicking it. It will appear as a simple-looking web page containing your Favorites links.

SOURCE: I downloaded ie8. ie7 is still on my computer and

Yes. In a nutshell yes. If Microsoft will let you that is.

If i were to give you my advice i would recommend opera. (http://opera.com)

It is generally better than most web browsers. But especially IE.

Replace internet explorer 8 with internet explorer 7

You need to find the old installation files for IE7, uninstall IE8, install IE7 and then make sure that automatic updates are switched off, otherwise Windows will update it to IE8 again automatically.

Are you sure you want to use IE7? IE8 is more secure.

In fact, Firefox is much more secure and faster than either IE7 or IE8.
