Was on the road for a few months and bought a laptop to be able to reengage with FR. It has Win 10 and it's pretty cumbersome for what it offers - and has about a billion built-in opportunities to shop which I slowly weeded out.

The Win 7 machine I'm on now is about 7 years old and no telling when it may decide to do that final crash.
