Mint 19 is good, and test the problem on that system.
If all is ok, just install it and live happily ever after.

I was wondering why nobody mentioned to use Linux-Junk. How wrong I
was to forget a nutter like you!!!!!!.

Linux Junkies seem to to like Windows 10 newsgroup; I seem to see more
about Linux junk (and Apple Bananas Mac) on this newsgroup than
anything about Windows 10. Could it be because Windows 10 hasn't got
any problems and Linux-Junk has so many problems that only Windows 10
users can resolve them.

And why does he think I'd install an entire operating system to solve a
problem? I already know the problem is software. I can repeat the
problem with another keyboard.

For both of you folks:
1). I didn't say install Linux, just use a live cd or usb stick.

Still too much hassle, I've never used Linux and have no intention of
learning it just to sort a minor Windows problem.

2). Good Guy is a useless troll whose sole purpose is to hurl insults and
doesn't know how to post without including a bunch of HTML stuff just to
annoy people.

He seems to like the pretty background colours, maybe he's one of those
homosexuals?

3). Most people go to Linux from windows, often using a dual boot setup.
I see very few posts where people switch from Linux back to windows, but
plenty of cases where people dump windows from their dual boot setup.
Personally, unlike insecure people like Good Guy, I'm not much concerned
with others preferences. Some people are stuck with windows due to their
work constraints.

I use Windows because it's easy, and it has the most software to go with
it, and the biggest user base. I see no reason to change from that. The
only thing that might move me to Linux is not paying for a Windows
license, but there's always pirate versions....

4). To suggest windows 10 doesn't have problems is just a joke. Try
reading the posts in this group then compare to the mint group.

It usually works just fine for me. And it's many many times more stable
than Windows 95.

5). Although it's none of your business, I now use Linux Mint as sole
boot with windows 7 available in a virtual box for the only software for
which I need windows (Quicken WillMaker). Unlike idiot Good Guy, I am
aware different people have different needs and situations and what they
use is up to them.

If I had to use another OS to use a certain piece of software, that would
be enough reason to ditch the main one.
