In the process of setting up a new computer. Using the old laptop in

your preferences, etc. Right now it's updating Win 10 and has been at
it for a while.

Got an HP "all in one". 27" screen for my aging eyes, Pentium I-7, and I
forget all the rest. Hopefully I'll get all my passwords, etc.,
transferred before the old, 9 year old laptop gives up the ghost.

I was a little nervous about making the transition from Win 7 to Win 10
so I spent almost an hour at the store playing with it. Not as bad as I
feared. I was concerned because I remember playing with a computer
that had Win 8 on it and it was horrible.


When you get everything exactly the way you like it, create an image
of the C:. Then if you lose a hard drive or get a nasty virus, it is
very fast to get back to where you were.
