Does it overwrite IE7 if not assume you just uninstall IE7 once happy with 8. Secondly if it doesn't can you transfer things like favorites over.

Yes, it overwrites/updates IE7. I just installed it 'ontop' of IE7 on four of my computers without any problems. Just download and execute, and it will guide you through the install.

After install, there is still an IE7 (hidden) folder in Windows, and an IE7 Updates folder.

All your Favourites will be intact.

I always create a 'Restore Point' before installing something like this. Doesn't look like I'll have to use it...

Cheers I assume the IE7 (hidden) folder in Windows, and an IE7 Updates folder are okay to delete after. i have no trouble finding hidden stuff & yes restore always makes sense before an install.

This guy here:

says it is ok to delete the IE7 folders. After installing IE8 I no longer have the option to uninstall IE7 through Add/Remove programs, and that's the only reason - apparently - that you may want to keep those folders. The two folders add up to over 250MB!

I think I will delete mine, and leave them in the Recyle Bin, so I can restore them, until I'm conviced it won't be a problem.

IE8 is running great on my systems. No complaints at all...
