[AT] OFF TOPIC

[Bruce Fallon]

I am running 10 on 3 computers made it look like 7 also, no touch screens
and using outlook for my mail and Fire fox as the default browser I don't
like the Edge browser at all.  Don't use Cortina either.

I switched to Win 10 a good while back and have no real problems with it
other than the browser and e-mail are terrible.  There is a way to set
Win 10 up to run in a format that looks and acts like Win 7.  I can't begin 
to
remember how but I found out about it and set mine up that way.  Since
I don't have a computer that will run touch screen I couldn't see any reason
to run it in the applications mode that it defaults to.  I don't remember it

being
very hard to change the settings but it's been long enough ago that I don't 
have
a clue where to tell you to start looking.

Ralph,
Windows 7 is nearing  the end of it's support life and MS is aggressively 
trying to move users to Win 10. SO make sure you have installed Service Pack

"One" and you should be OK until 2020  I think the issue may be facing is 
that Win 7 still uses Internet Explorer as it's Browser and Windows 10 has 
moved on to a new browser "Edge". I haven't checked to see if MS is even 
still supporting IE. Around 48% of the world is still using Win 7.  You 
might want to check if some start-up add-ons have gotten in to your system 
without your knowledge.  I use what used to be called Crap Cleaner now 
called CCLEANER By Piraform  to keep the system cleaned of trash that builds

up over time. I use the free version. Then I use a paid for diagnostic and 
system cleaner from IOBIT, I can't think of name right now but it is very 
comprehensive catching all the crap that floats around on the Internet. 
It's not all that expensive less than  $20 a year. I've learned to 
appreciate all that it does to keep the system running at peak performance. 
It's called Advanced System Care by IOBIT.  I would recommend that.

This one is still Windows 7 and it has been limping for several years
now. Several months ago it started just crashing in the middle of
whatever I was doing. For no obvious reason. I've done clean ups and
system restores but no matter. Every few days or sometimes every day, it
will just crash. Go through the restart and it is fine. For a while.
