Scorpio, I think you just might be changing my mind. I will look into W10 and maybe go in that direction after all. I may have some questions for you later after I do some researching. Thanks much,

The computer I'm upgrading is a Windows 7, 32 bit computer, and it is about 7 years old, and I should know, since I built the monster myself. LOL. In any case, Windows 10 will give you less of a learning curve from 7 to 10, not to mention handling your resources much more effectively. What ever you decide to do, good luck.

I am having problems with W7 installing windows updates. A Microsoft technician went through my computer and told me that the only solution to my problem is to get a computer repair tech to repair my computer and the other solution is to upgrade to W8.1 or W10. The computer is to old for W10 but I think it could handle W8.1. I would like to know if there is a big learning curve between W7 and W8.1 as I think that might be the cheapest way to go.This is my old backup and experimental computer so I am looking for easiest and cheapest way out. This is an old computer but still works pretty well. Thanks for any suggestions or advice. FRED C.
