Any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to upgrade to Windows 10.

Only if the user has some intelligence and that he/she wants to do some
meaningful work on it. For jobless and hobbyists, 10 is not a good idea
because their requirements are quite different from serious users.
These people will question almost anything. For example that idiot
SteveGG or Big Bad Bob would start asking questions about a soap when
whether it is cleaning or not. Now how do you deal with these people.
I can expect women to ask questions about shampoos and all that but a
man! What is this world up to these days?


I continued to use the tablet and it worked fine, So fine in fact,
that about two months ago I decided to try it on my laptop again. This
time every thing went perfect.



Probably, first time you didn't do Clean Installation. With clean
installation there is nothing on the machine so Windows 10 has nothing
to check for compatibility and so it uses generic drivers and the
installation is quicker. With upgrades, Windows needs to do all sorts
of checking and backups for 30 days reversal and in doing so it takes
time and something may not work as expected because this was not thought
of at the time of writing the code.


The first thing I did after I was sure the total update was complete,
was to go through all of the settings in the OS and programs and turn
off any thing that even looked like a phone home option.

I do all this things at the time of installation. Custom installation
is what I choose.


One program that is a frustration in the MS Solitaire. It is set up
to down load ads. To fight this I turn of the LAN when I play the
game. However, after so long with out being able to phone home, all of
the card sets become unwinnable. I let it phone home and the win rate
returns to normal.

I don't play games but I just tried it and it didn't bother me but it is
because I don't know how to play!!

I have set the update page to Notify to schedule restarts. Also
instead of waiting for MS to download updates to my computer, When I
have the time I force an update check and download what ever is
available.

Updates are off on my machines. I update my machine once every 3 months
when I have nothing better to do.

By upgrading, you have already lessened the frustration when MS
releases Window 11 or what ever they call the next version.

No next version as far as I can know; It is like Office 365. the name
hasn't changed for years but new updates keep coming. I am on 2016 now
that's because I tried updates recently because somebody was having a
problem so i have to switch my updates on because I post back
screenshots and my response.
