yes i have the seed sounds good, thats what i thought but i wanted verification- i was woried that using the seed could cancel the original wallet? will the password be the same

It won't cancel out the first wallet. You will be asked to set a password which can be the same as the one on the original wallet if you so choose.

If you don't want to restore from seed you can also copy the wallet file over to your backup system:

i would like to have my wallet on my backup computer but dont know how to do it? can some body instruct me how to go about this

Do you have the initial seed? The 12 words?
If you do, all you have to do is install Electrum on your backup computer and choose restore. You enter the 12 words seed and all your addresses would appear. Check the balances of both computers to verify.
