HP support assistant vs. HP advisor

‎04-06-2010 06:41 PM

hi there

 

this may be a stupid question, but is there a difference between either of these programs?  My slimline s5120f came with windows vista and was preloaded with HP advisor. 

 

I was eligible for the free upgrade to windows 7 and I did so.  On the support page for windows 7 there is a download for support assistant and an update, but no link for the update to HP advisor. 

 

so my question is, if I download and install HP support assistant, can I uninstall advisor?  They appear to be quite similar.

 

thanks

Both products serve different needs.  I would keep both of them.

Do you know if there is a way to update advisor for windows 7?

 

its not listed on the software and drivers page for windows 7 for my pc but it is available on the windows vista one.  I tried to download it for kicks but it said my OS was not compatible.
