herbie Posted Tuesday at 03:16 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 03:16 AM In the last week I've had 3 come in where people ignored the ear of warning and then 9 more months before their Windows 10 got whacked. And one running Windows 7because they heard Windows 10 was 'no good' back around 2015 and stayed on 7. I updated two of them, the third guy will be repeat customer. The Win 7 guy now has to use Linux Mint, the machines too damn old 10 barely ran. I gathered up all the old machines in the shop, put Mint on them all and gave them to the Mens Shed, They sold 7 in one week! I priced them from $40-$100 and no one even tried to bargain. They're also supposed to be laying fibre this summer and they upped my cable too 25Mb until it's installed. Nice! Quote

Would be a candidate for Mint with the Mate desktop to putter on. You must have learned your lesson long ago - gaming laptops = worst investment ever 4 hours ago, paxamericana said: What is this?

I won it as a door prize at a wedding actually. I stopped using computers for gaming many many years ago. I keep my systems separate. Soon as PS1 was invented I bailed. Quote
herbie Posted Tuesday at 08:58 PM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 08:58 PM Being someone not impressed that the graphics evolved from blocky pixels to a mutant incel dream of an anime Barbie, when I do plau games I use a Raspberry Pi and PiMiga Just found a system setup by the maker in 2015 with a 32 but version of Windows 10.... so it won't upgrade to 11. Unless I do a fresh Rufus installation... Quote
