These notes are for Windows XP Windows 7 users, connected to the UOCNT network. They may work for staff laptops that are used as the staff-member's principal computer at work, but will not generally work for other laptops - see this note. There are separate notes for Mac users. If you use a laptop that is connected to the UC Network at times, but not at other times then see these notes.

For windows 7 users: we will re-write these notes but essentially you can install Endnote X7 - from the 'Uninstall or Change a program' box use the left-hand link 'Install a program from the network' and choose Thomson Reuters EndNote X7.0.0.

Always back up your EndNote libraries before doing anything major with EndNote.

If you have an earlier version of EndNote, you don't need to uninstall it using the steps below - this will not delete your EndNote libraries. Also delete any Endnote icons on your desktop or in your Start menus, although it is recommended. The new version will override the old one and you will not  lose all your EndNote Library/Libraries saved in the old version.
