Many thanks to all of you who have offered advice.
I'm pleased to say that I have now successfully installed Parallels 8 and Windows 8 Pro (a full version was available at Currys/PC World - a DVD version that I installed via my external DVD drive)
I then installed Microsoft Office Professional 2010. (It has the Access program)
And all important, I was able to transfer from my pc, the current databases that I needed on the new mac.

So, I'm really pleased and surprised that I was able to follow all your instructions and do it!
I'm sure I'll be back with more queries.
Thanks again everyone.
Mike

Hello Everyone,

I am finding that often, even without changing location, my MacBook Pro won't stay true to my primary WiFi signal. It will either shift to another or come disengaged. This is generally after a sleep or shut down. I haven't experienced this with any other Macs. Any help appreciated in reducing this occurrence.

Thanks!
B.

Try this.

Go to System Preferences/Network/Airport (connected)/Advanced/Airport

Click "Remember networks this computer has joined"

Arrange priority so that the WiFi you want is on top or first chosen.
