Since that link refers to Windows XP does not apply, skip it.
The rest applies to you.
Also, firewall is essential and I never said to disable the firewall.
Only disable the firewall if the computer network cable is physically
disconnected.

The rest of your applications should be OK...
If you are not going to try the rest of the fix, why did you ask?
There is always risk when performing any type of installation on any
type of computer or operating system.
That is why it is important to always have back-ups of critical data.
