If you get Windows 10 machine, then just understand you are being spied on by the State.
Go with a Linux or Apple. I have both Windows 7 Pro and Apple. Apple was painful upfront in terms of cost, but after that smooth sailing. Windows 7 is good but like any other Windows device it requires weekly maintenance. I would say that eats up a chunk of time.
Linux is good security but it can get tricky at times. If you are not computer savvy, then get an Apple would be my advise.
That was the recommendation by my niece and nephew but they are both medical professionals so their needs are greater than mine.
With that being said, is it safe to assume that even the most basic Apple computer would exceed what I'm currently using my computer for? And how difficult is the learning curve in using an Apple?
AMEN!
