How to Install Microsoft Money on Windows 7

Microsoft Money is a software product to help you manage the finances of your household. Although Microsoft no longer produces new versions of Microsoft Money, later versions of the program, such as Microsoft Money 2007 Deluxe, run on Windows 7 without problems. If you are in need of a personal finance program and do not mind using something that is a few years old, Microsoft Money may fit your needs.

Things You'll Need

• Microsoft Money installation disc

Instructions

1. Start your computer and allow the Windows 7 desktop to load fully before inserting the Microsoft Money installation disc. If the setup utility does not load automatically, open the "Start" menu, click "Computer" and then double-click the icon for your computer's optical drive. When the setup utility opens, it displays a prompt notifying you that some anti-virus software can interfere with the installation process for Microsoft Money.

2. Click "OK." The setup utility displays Microsoft's license terms for Microsoft Money.

3. Read the terms and click "I Accept" to continue. The setup utility begins copying Microsoft Money to the hard drive. When this process is complete, the setup utility displays the message "Money is ready to go."

4. Click "Finish" to return to the desktop.

5. Open the "Start" menu and click "All Programs" to locate the Microsoft Money folder and launch the application.
