forced MS updates, and that many of the older programs can't be

not sure what the distinction is between apps and programs on Windows

Is all that about correct?


FWIW, Bill, after using Windows XP for many years, I skipped Vista and
bought a new laptop with Windows 7. I had no trouble using it. Back in
2008 I bought an Apple iMac and learned how to use it. I've since used
all these operating systems:-

I've skipped Windows 8 & 8.1 but now have Windows 10 (as well as a new
iMac - well, 12 months old now but with a magnificent 27 inch screen!)

I have a friend who I helped upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and he
manages just fine. He's just had his 91st birthday - on Christmas Eve!

If *I* can do these things, so can you! ;-)


OMG.

Well, now you've slapped down a gauntlet.

What will poor Bill do ???

Maybe Bill will humor us, with a count of
how many PCs he owns...
