That is good to know. I still feel Windows 7 was one of the best OS versions of Windows. Which do you think was the best?

There are A LOT of people out there that will tell you that Windows 7 was G.O.A.T!  In case you don't know what that means.  Greatest Of All Time.  For what that OS was capable of doing, it did what it was supposed to do and did it very well.  Unfortunately, you and I cannot go back to Windows 7 on our current rigs.  8th gen and newer Intel systems will not be fully supported by Windows 7.  Same goes for 2nd gen Ryzen and up.

Windows 10 had it's teething pains early on.  But once they got those kinks ironed out, Windows 10 turned out pretty damn good too.  Windows 10 will truly be the last Windows OS that is backward compatible with older systems.

Thank you Sand! Definitely watching this video! Thanks!!

 

Dave was telling me that people are going to Linux Mint is the Cinnamon edition because it looks the most like Windows but I wanted to make sure it was easy for my mom as even Windows confuses her (she does not understand the directories yet and keeps asking me "where did my pictures save to?" and gets confused between online and offline thinking that saving an email to yahoo mail is the same as downloading an image or letter to the computer).
