Lite to Full?

My old computer has no DVD capacity. I'm testing the new Lite edition and I like it very much. Is there a way I can install the Lite version, then download and install the full version from the internet? That would be useful for those with old equipment.

Best bet is to just add the bells and whistles after install.

Better bet, is to replace your CD drive with a DVD drive and call it a day.

They are ever so cheap around $21 for RW combo drives these days.

An older machine adding a ton of software would be extremely counterproductive. I suggest installing only the software you need. In a situation like that. Another option is to use a USB stick provided your pc has the option to boot from usb in the bios or bios boot menu.
