...just bought a Windows 7 computer.

Hang on to it but remember, at some point in time support will run out on that thing.

I opted for Windows 10. It is okay. But I kept my XP machine running, use it for projects, and it is has a much cleaner, crisper operating feel to it.

Actually, your post just prompted me to pick up a refurbished Windows 7 machine. They have decent ones, the price is right.

And those are my computer thoughts for the morning....

I’ve been informed, however, that some of the difference in speed I noticed between my computer and the ones in the computer center of a good hotel I recently stayed at is due to the fact that I run Windows 7 on a computer that is appropriate for it but is slower than the newer ones that support Windows 10, which is faster in its own right as well.

Some of the difference is due to the fact that I use Verizon Broadband Wireless, so that I won’t have any cables coming into my home, and reception can sometimes depend on how many people are using it at one time. And of course on Internet traffic in general. So it’s not ALL the computer and the Windows 7 that make it slower.
