In fact I should amend my previous advice and make sure you understand that Live 6 -> Live 7 Library has some definite changes! A version switch should always be done by COPYING (i.e. DUPLICATING) your Library for use with the new version!

Although some of these comments have come at you with snarky attitude, you might take a deep breath and think about the consequences of upgrading/altering your Library.

$100 or whatever might start to seem pretty cheap if it lets you keep an extra copy of your Library in case you need to revert to Live 6.

Makes sense, thanks

Whats not straight about my initial reply???

I thought it was quite succinct and straight to point highlighting and backing up my point of view as regards the dangers of deleting extraneous software versions...

These things need t be considered and taken seriously if we are all going to survive into the next millennia.

You'll end up with Live 1
