    Trouble is, my broadband has decided to run slow and some software downloads are not cooperating. I'll try tomorrow.

    A few more bits of software to install and a few tweaks and it'll be as I want it!
    Now you have a fresh Win 7 it would be an ideal time to upgrade to Win 10 while it is still free
    best to update something clean and fresh rather than old and bunged up with years of browsing.

    Not a chance. Windows 10 is horrible. As are W8.0 and W8.1. I have 8.1 on another PC and I'm not impressed. I've used 10 many times too. W7 is perfectly usable until 2020 (and probably after). I stuck with XP as long as I could. Vista was hopeless. W7 is very user friendly (for me anyway).

    I am surprised that anyone should have problems with W8.1. Once I had set it up according to my own preference in start up screen, and I installed Classic Start Menu, I found W8.1 far more usable compared to W7. The only thing I really miss in W8.1 are the networking options from XP and W7 such as the ad hoc mode. The lack of that has made setting up my SB Touch a lot more difficult and long winded.

    Blimey, one thing after another. I keep a folder titled 'Downloaded Software'. It around 20GB.

    It works, but I prefer the feel and look of W7. It's familiarity.

    So it seems.

    I'm going to hook up my W8.1 PC soon and let it upgrade itself to W10. Today is the last day of the free upgrade.

    I don't like either much, but it may as well have the latest O/S.


    Now then. Where's my printer installation disc? Not done that yet.
