Hi! Like Sandra said, there is not much of a learning curve to Win10. I used Windows 7, and went right into Win10. The search function pretty works the same in the start area. You can get rid of the app tiles in Win10 if you want to make it look much more like Windows 7. I picked up my Android

The good thing is, there isn't a huge learning curve into Win. 10. I expected worse, but have acclimated pretty well--which, for a technophobe like me, is saying something. You will do fine! I wish I had had help with my iPhone 8. At least there are some Braille learning materials for it!

I thought I would pose this question, since Apple just announced the update of the iPod touch today. It will have the a10 processor, the same one that is in an iPhone 7 or 7+. That makes it two years old going on three, just like my iPhone 7 Plus. No other significant changes that I am aware

Re: Phone choices.

My general advice is to get the most recent iphone you can afford so you will have as many iOS updates as possible. In going for an 8, you sacrifice face ID found on the X series. A rumor circulating is that Apple plans a phone either in 2019 or 2020 that will have both face ID and a fingerprint
