A lot of windows 7 users are going to have to start using windows 10. Windows
7 support ends in January of 2020.

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 phone quickly as well.
I did not get a smart phone until December, and like you guys, I don’t know how
I did without the phone!
I can do tasks in seconds on the smart phone that is very difficult to do on
the computer.
Also, there is an area in Win10 where all the settings are all divided into
neat categories.
You don’t have to go looking through the control panel.
I never liked doing that in XP.
I have a lot of tutorials on using Win10 that I can send you.
You will get so much help, and you do not have to use everything in Win10. If
you do not care about some of the new features, you do not have to worry about
them.
Have a great one, guys!

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!

Something is wrong, I know it, if I don't keep my attention on eternity. May I

Hi Sandra:
Well, it takes me some time to get dragged into a new device, after I have
mastered a certain one. I had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, away
from XP.
I am lucky to have a non-profit for blind people in my area, and was able to
get one on one instruction for learning the computer and jaws for free.
Also, I got a bit of help when I first got my iPhone a couple of years ago.
I was behind the curve on getting a smart phone, but eventually, I follow
the crowd.
I don't know how I ever got along without it now.
I know I will bee having to upgrade to Windows 10 soon, but not excited
about it.
I do enjoy learning new things though, even if I am slow at moving forward.
