- Can you change back to the classic AOL homepage?
To convert back to the classic AOL homepage you will need to uninstall the AOL that you are using now and then install AOL 9.0. daol.aol.com/software/ This will take you to a site where you can download and install the older version.
- Why use the older version?
Many people find that it can take them a while to learn how to use a new piece of software and would rather use the old software that they are familiar with and know exactly how to use it.
- Should I use the old version or the new version of AOL?
It is personal preference as to which version you would like to use but generally it is better to use the newest version available. The new version will have all the latest technologies available to you. They will have designed it in a way that is user friendly and does everything you would want it to do. It will be more advanced than the older version and once you have got used to the new design and layout you will probably agree that it superior to the older version.
If you do not have the time to learn how to use the new software then the classic software is still perfectly suitable. There may come a time when AOL stop updating the classic software so beware that eventually you will probably need to convert.
