Baby Cricut Died

My baby Cricut died Sunday and I purchased a Cricut Expressions and should receive it by Friday. Is there anything I need to do special to install my new Cricut? I will be using the same computer so do I need to install the USB again? Also, do I need design studio to run it?
Thanks
Katie

it should be ready to go as many of the new expressions have version 2.35 firmware in them.

You do not need design studio, unless you want it. If you have SCAL you definitely don't need design studio!

If you do find you need to update, there is a link now under the "help" drop down in SCAL that says 'update driver'. I would think that would get it for you.

You definitely don't need Design Studio. It is a clunky program and hard to figure out. It doesn't work on Mac's either

just get the trial version of DS. You need it to work with SCAL
