I considered ordering on line but I could not get on the net and I was not going to wait more than a few days for a replacement and also order something sight unseen over the telephone. I have just too many things I need to do every day. All my programs are up to date so it was no problem there.
I am finding windows 8 easier than when I first experienced it last year on my Dads computer.

They must have some understanding to be able to still offer 7 on some of their computers because no one else does as far as I know. I did not want a Windows 8 so I ordered a Windows 7 laptop from them a few months back and I am very happy with it because I can still use my FTM 16 as I installed a 32/64 program for it.

It was acting slow and giving me problems navigating in programs. Friday morning when I sat down with my large coffee and turned it on I could not open my programs. I ran virus checks and still nothing. I took it to Best Buy and the Geek squad checked it out and told me that the hard drive was going and I had a corrupted operating system . I considered getting it repaired for $250+ and decided to get a new one. I was not happy because I really did not want to go to Windows 8 and just the work in setting up a new computer is a pain. Most of Friday I spent shopping and got a nice Lenovo laptop So at 7:00 pm last night I plugged in in and started to figure things out my first priority was to get my data from my back up loaded. I have been using a daily backup on an external hard drive and successfully loaded my files especially my genealogy files that I have invested countless days creating.
