My computer has broken down. Yeah, again. I just bought a very slightly used one with a lot better components that I would otherwise afford.
It comes with Win 10 (Pro), I think. The guy hated it himself and recommended me to install 7 or 8 instead. 7 seems the least annoying, but support ends in less than 3 years. 8 seems pretty horrid too. So maybe I should just go with 10? I've read about the murder of the start menu, that updates are forced and that you have no control of what and when. Is it as bad as I've heard? |

Oh, I decided on win10. The guy will format and make a fresh installation so we can test run before putting it in a box.
I think the best thing will be to use a real keyboard again and to see what I'm writing... |

Well, the computer is fast.

Well, the computer is fast. ![]() Not sure if this one's any better: https://www.howtogeek.com/133405/how-to-get...k-on-windows-8/ (I've become used to the flat theme myself though). But first of all clean up all the bloat and spyware which comes enabled by default, I used https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-anti-beacon/ (though it has not been updated for a while). A couple other sites I've used for manual checking: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/03/20/turn-off-...a-double-click/ https://www.cyberpunkforums.com/viewtopic.php?id=3692 You can also re-enable Photo Viewer in the registry: https://www.howtogeek.com/225844/how-to-mak...-on-windows-10/ QUOTE program windows float into eachother *visually*... When does that happen? I think I've experienced something like that during Taskbar operations. QUOTE I don\t even manage to choose the color I want on the desktop. That should work once you've entered the license key. QUOTE Isn\t this supposed to be fun. The real fun is that this new mobile/touch screen design was done because Microsoft wanted the same Windows look on both PCs and smartphones. Then nobody wanted to buy their smartphones anyway.
