zzzak Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 When you said that earlier I thought that the original disc might not work without updates and that I might have them on the old rive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Go Linux Mint, you won't look back and it's free. Mind you I have been Mac OS for 2 years and I don't think about operating systems any more the Puter box or lappy just work now. Obviously I bought new hardware.

You may well find that some software will no longer run on W7! Plus an unsupported OS is a vulnerable target for malware! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 never had any problems with windows 10 and i'm a self confessed technophobe luddite without a clue how any of it actually works. Ive started using windows 11 at work now but dont really see any differences apart from a few functionalities that are slicker and more ergonomic. Having said that, it obviously wasn't me that installed it or set it up... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 @XTreme ,you would have pissed yourself laughing had you been a fly on the wall on monday morning in the office, it was my first day "solo" ( ie without the guy I am replacing who'd nursed me through the first month desperately trying to teach me how to use excel properly) I nearly had a fucking panic attack when I realised that about 3 of the automatic links in the spreadsheet werent working and I had no clue as to why or how to fix it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
