Thanks. I like Win7 so much that when the Linux distro, Zorin, came out and worked so well and operates very close to Win7 that I had to make the switch but I can still boot into Win7 if something comes up. So far it hasn’t been an issue and I can access all my files in Windows and even run Windows programs through the “Mint” emulator.
Pretty sure there was less of a learning curve going to Zorin than going to Win10 but since I never did; I can’t say for sure.
In a previous life I was a MS certified tech. It seems like MS did its best to make things far more complicated than they needed to be therefor keeping a need for further and advanced Windows education.
Pardon; that should have read “Wine” emulator.
