I was happy with windows 7 until the computer it was on crashed completely. As I hadn't been on line with it for over 2 years and therefore hadn't had the updates - I wonder if that had something to do with the reason it crashed dead?
It got so I couldn't even access the repair function - this attempted to repair several times and then even that stopped working and I could'nt even get into the BIOS - the whole thing went down and never had this happen before. Any specific reason for this?
How dare you?
Everything is to do with windows, even if their customer is too thick to plug their computer in, it must be a fault of Windows10 or some inferior version of their OS.
Even Which magazine puts out a free leaflet for those that can't think for themselves!
E.G. 'I bought a new computer, when I turned it on it was Windows10 I had no idea what to do next',
That tells me that you are a little bit thick and being given far more money than you deserve.
Surely the sensible way of getting a computer is to find one you have a slight chance of understanding before you purchase it?, not to buy it then rely on Which?
One of my friends works in IT helpdesk type work and he was on phone to a customer for quite sometime diagnosing her problem. After her saying she turned it on and off a few times to a black screen he asked her where the button was... It was on her monitor

A similar thing, woman rings up the help desk complains, the guy asks can she check if it's plugged in? Her reply, what? In the middle of a power cut? I can't see the socket.
Another one was after a frustrating hour and a half of stupidity, the guy at the call centre asked, do you still have the box your computer came in?
The reply was yes.
In that case he said put your computer back in the box, send it back to the folk you bought it from get a refund, you shouldn't be anywhere near a keyboard.

Thanks - well it did definitely slow down slightly about 5 months before it crashed permanently - and I had about 5 1/2 years of no problem computing out of it, they don't last for ever - bit like pets and spouses!
I was one of the unfortunates who clicked the exit cross which automatically started the 10 upgrade. What this did for me was demonstrated what tricksters the mob are who made it. Enough of my griping..
10 seems to work OK here although I think its quietly gathering information for them.

Does Libra Office open Word files/documents?
Open Office opens ordinary documents, HTML and presentations ok, not tried with spreadsheets or databases.

Both should be ok with anything that you would normally come across.

I hope this helps...and in the first paragraph it says'if you have upgraded in the last month '
But if you look further down it does explain that you can go back if you upgraded a while ago.

I did not take up the option of Windows 10.
I had a look at it on someone else's machine and decided it was not for me.
I suppose at some point I will have to upgrade to some new version...but right now 7 fits the bill for me.

I resisted windows 10 for ages but I'm glad I moved. It's better than 7 once you get used to it. You can get rid of all that big stuff on your start menu if you don't like it and it has some good bits that are better than Windows 7. You will have to change at some point so might as well stick with it
Neil, it was formulated for touch screens rather than for mouse and keyboard.
I do not like the idea of the automatic updates...I like to choose what I want to update.
And it looked and felt ungainly.I really did not like it and felt that it would curtail my use of the computer...a friend of mine tried it out and gave it three weeks before reverting back...she could not get used to it.(and she is a generation younger than me too)
Yes, at some point it will become impossible to continue with 7, but I cannot see the point of changing until I need to.
Windows 7 does all that I want to do...so I will stick with it.
