So...I am not as thick as I look then Hill Walker
.
It has been the result of errorful learning....and those lessons are hard to forget....and can be costly.
I can continue using W7 for a good while because there is a lot of my stuff on discs and USB drives that does not need updating.....at some point in the future I will probably go for a Mac computer....though it won't be a new one.
I do not want a Microsoft account and I know that there is a way of having an upgrade without taking on a MS account(found that out when I looked at how to make 10 look like 7).
I will see how it all pans out....and will look at other options too.
