Sherri, I understand, really I do and always resist, lol.
The hardest thing was adapting to it visually but really it's not too drastic a change operationally.

DH's just got his old laptop (win8) replaced with a new one running win10 earlier this year. he's generally resistant to new systems and new technology, preferring old stuff*. he transitioned extremely well - the presentation between the 2 versions is almost identical.
i've been using win10 at work since 2015 so i had no trouble transitioning when our home laptops were replaced. *he finally got a smartphone in March 2022 earlier this year only because ATT stopped the 3g all together, and DH's flip phone dates were suddenly affecting the system time on his phone and dates of messages! DH inherited DS20's smartphone and DH20 got a brand new phone since DH was due for a new one on our family contract.

We run 2 desktops and 2 laptops at home. The laptops are Windows 10 and the desktops are still Windows 7. We have purchased Windows 10 software for one of the desktops to be converted as soon as we get some time. (If you decide to buy the software to upgrade an existing computer you may want to hire someone to install it for you. Also there are 2 versions of Windows 10. The version the manufacturer wants you to buy requires a yearly subscription, but there is also one time purchase Windows 10 software if you can find it.
We use Norton 360 and the free version of Malwarebytes to protect our computers. If you install Norton on your computer it automatically disables Windows Defender as multiple antivirus programs running simultaneously can be problematic. https://www.safetydetectives.com/blo...nough-for-you/ We are keeping our older PC's and upgrading the software as the desktops are professional high performance $$$ and still very viable. If your desktop is older and basic you should start to consider a replacement, but you shouldn't panic about your Windows 8 deadline. I would suggest converting to Norton 360 which should buy you some time to make a decision on if you want a new computer or if it makes sense to upgrade your existing equipment. |
