good job Zim!

I keep two hard drives underneath my computer desk.
One has a duplicated ghosted copy of this hard drive which I back up monthly. I also back up documents weekly onto a 16GB USB flash drive.

There is now way in the world I am ever going to install windows 10.

Biggest pile of refuse microsoft ever put out. Second biggest pile was windows ME followed by Vista.


Anyway, good for you ghosting those drives so you have something to fall back on.... Thumbs Up

My condolences.

Somewhere out there in cyberspace . . .
There is a little app that will install the windows 7
solitaire games into Windows 10. (I did that and it
worked very nicely. I have spider solitaire pinned
to the task bar now.)

Intenet Explorer still works . . .
Edge had NONE of my favorites, but internet explorer
was still installed so I still use it. (With all my
old favorites.)

To tell the truth, before I tried Windows 10, the first
thing I did was to use a program called ghost to clone
my Windows 7 hard drive. Then I restored Windows 7
onto a new hard drive, and 'Let' Microsnot install
Windows 10. (That was a bad trip . . . very ugly and
painful.)

So . . I can go back to Windows 7 just by unplugging
this drive and plugging up my old drive. (But, I had
better download everything I want off this drive onto
a USB stick so I can put it on the old drive.)

Zim.
