While the usual advice is to uninstall, why not learn first hand what happens?

My new HP PC has starter Office 2010 on it. Best Buy geek said I must uninstall it to be sure my install of Office Home & Student 2007 won't interfer by causing updates for both to conflict. If I never click on "use" for the 2010 starter it seems it would never be clicked on to cause problems. Please share what you know as I think the 2007 is fine for me and do not want to pay for 2010. THANK YOU.
p.s. sorry if this has already been adressed - I can't figure out how to search for the answer in previous posts in forums.
