Margaret I tried the download path and didn't like what I got so reverted to W7. Some time later started having problems and a friend did a complete W10 load from disc, not download. He then asked me how I wanted it and I am happy about it now - it does everything I want in the way that I want it, some very minor differences, but nothing that has given me any problems

Thanks Rob.....better than all those blooming tiles.
I think I am with you Margaret.
Though it is infinitely better than all those tiles.
I do not run a lot of Apps.......I have programs that I use(to me Apps are what touch screen devices use)...and yes, that may sound petty and pedantic..but there you go.(I told you that age was making me intolerant)
I had windows 98 too...but I always knew them as programs.
I am thinking about putting Windows 10 on my laptop...just to see if the two of us can get along........From the 29th of July there will be a charge of £99 for windows 10.
I have heard that with windows 10 you do not get the option to choose which updates you have...that the system downloads updates automatically. I am not sure where I have read this...but is there some way of disabling this facility. I like to choose what updates I install?

Turning off updates isn`t as straight forward as previous versions but can be done - How to turn off Windows Update in Windows 10
I think we are both right about windows 98, once installed they were called programs but .exe files were applications. If you fancy a look at what windows 98 used to look and work like have a gander here - Virtual x86

Oh my great goodnight........that brought back some memories.
My computer used to scare the bejasus out of me. I used to shout for my daughter to come and sort me out.
I have come a long way since then....now if she gets a problem she shouts for me(not that I am always able to help) I am far less in awe of my machine than I was back then.......but I STILL like what I know and am resistant to change( I bet you guessed that didn't you?).

You can run 98 on the original Xbox... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvBitO6M-Dg

Margaret. a friend installed my W10 from disc, and then gave me a 30 minute teach in. Cost me £40 but well worth it as far as I am concerned, I could not get along with the W10 download and gave up on that after 2 weeks. Now I am perfectly happy with what I have got, in fact I think it is great and littlepom thinks the same.
If you would like me to ask him to help you send me a PM with your email or phone number and I will ask him for you.
That is kind of you Barrie....But I would only be trying it out on my laptop(which I use infrequently)....just to see if I could get along with it........if it proves to be leas wearisome that i think then I might just contact you for deatils in the future.(if that is alright).
I am a bit chary of putting it on my desktop as i use this for my crafting projects.......and i have a few part completed projects on it right now.

We only use laptops.
My desk top is in my very messy craft room(back bedroom).all my design programs are on it and my craft projects past and present.i use my iPad on the go, but all my crafting is done from the desk top.....I just find it easier to use than a laptop.....though I do occasionally use my laptop, but not for crafting.
I started off using two floppy disks.
One was TRSDOS for the O/S. The other for the program. I wrote a few programs to teach kids maths. Very simple stuff.
Then we got Menu before Windows and life was so simple but there was not much you could do on the PC.
Before any of that I had the old Spectrum Z something.
My first ever was a sord m5, complete pile of garbage. The speccy would probably be a zx.
