Thanks to a younger relative, I did the Windows 10 update with my old windows 7 HP Pavilion.

Then, I added the Chrome Win 10 app/update.

I use the Norton Safe Search/Chrome OS instead of the Win 10 interface/IE and Google or my Chrome tabs or bookmarks to go to my sites.

Most of the time, I am there when I hit enter.

Sometimes, the sites have a lot of traffic like financial sites when the Dow falls 400-500. Then, it might take 30 seconds. This morning it took about 30 seconds to log on FR versus the normal right on.

So instead of becoming a boat anchor or a door stop, my old HP Pavilion is zooming along with Win 10, Chrome OS and Norton Search. As long as it is working this way, it will stay on my office desk.

That is excellent.

Wouldn’t it be a kick if a lot of us use WinX with Ubuntu/Chrome OS.
