Tips & Warnings
The Outlook 2010 installation requires at least 2 GB of free hard drive space, so verify that you have this available before beginning the installation.
If you have installed other Office 2010 products on your system, you may have elected to keep your older Office products while also installing the 2010 version. However, Outlook 2010 cannot coexist with earlier versions of Outlook; its installation will automatically upgrade and replace the earlier version.
