I hope you can! It’s frustrating when they start running slower and don’t get the updates they need! I hung on to XP as long as possible and then went to Win 7. It was a good one...but of course, they HAD to muck around with it!
Actually, my son’s brother-in-law, who works for Microsoft, helped to develop Win 8 the disaster! I’ll bet he doesn’t talk about it, though. LOL!
I HAVE we 8.1. Despite everything MS said, they claim that they are going to put WE 11 & 11+ out soon.
