Replacing a wireless keyboard and mouse

I want to replace my wireless keyboard and mouse with a new one. BUT, do I remove the old keyboard & mouse first, using (remove hardware or some such thing)? If I do that, how can I function with installation of the new one with no tools? Is it possible to first add the new keyboard & mouse and then remove the old keyboard & mouse? Thanks for any suggestions.

You should shut down your computer, unplug the old wireless receiver, connect the new one, and then turn on your computer. The wireless receiver for the new keyboard/mouse will be automatically detected and installed by Windows. You may still need to do the pairing procedure which usually consists of pushing a button on the wireless receiver and then pushing a button on the keyboard/mouse. Consult the manual for details on this step as each set is different.

Thanks for the information. I believe you answered my concerns just fine. I don't have a manual for the new unit but have a CD for installation. I just didn't want to get started on installation without knowing more and the information which you provided answered the questions from this computer dummy. Thanks again.
