Forget getting Brexit done this Christmas we have to get Win7ext
done after clinging onto it for as long as possible. Daunting. With the help of
a friend I got a laptop converted to Lynux Mint; pretty simple and fast. And it’s
lovely, clean simple and fast, so happy there. But for my desktop I needed
Windows so installed 10. It’s still free if you have a bona fide Win7 installed.
But it took hours in fact days including the failed attempts, and it’s slow, a nag
compared to Lynux. Then needed a new MS Office 2019 to replace my 2000 version.
£9.87 on Amazon for life compared to their new yearly subscription 365. Deal!
Again slow, bloated and submerged in features one rarely needs. Basically
computers are now designed for people who don’t really use computers especially
the Win10 start menu. (get Classic from Ninite) Then Sonar6 stopped working (not
bona fide) so got Sonar8 second hand for £12, coming soon so hope it works. The
only consolation from this up(down)grade is I’ve saved over £500 in new price
software which is kind of a result.
