Being "up with the times" is not high on my list --- I don't even
own anything with a touch screen and, so fa,r haven't found any reason
to do so. What is the expression ? Ah, --- "he's old and set in his
ways". :-)

I have a friend who is 79. He is completely non-technical and HATES
change. Recently, I convinced him to dump his XP machine that he
complained was running very slowly and had him buy an inexpensive Win 8
all-in-one. I fixed it up with StartIsBack ($3.00) and a couple of extra
tricks, so that it boots to the log in screen and then goes directly to
the desktop. He has had ZERO trouble using it. In fact, he has no idea
that it's running Win 8.

Well first one would have to know that all these add-ons existed,
then how to use them etc.

StartIsBack is the only add-on. The rest are configurations.

I installed classic Shell and downloaded
and installed some software and moved some stuff from older
computers. But just trivial stuff --- find directories, scan
directories, store in specific directories, make directories , etc
etc are all mysteries.

What did you use in XP to do those things? Windows Explorer? Guess what
-- Win 8 has it, too.

Once you install StartIsBack and do the configurations, THERE'S NOTHING
ELSE TO LEARN!!! You will have a Win-7-working machine.

I installed Classic Shell. Do I just get Startback and install it
also??

No. Uninstall Classic Shell. And it's start is back == startisback ==
NOT start back.
