I run Windows XP on this 2009 laptop. I had to return a computer (right before I got this one) because it was loaded with Windows whatever. Can't remember what it was in 2009. There was a hassle with the whole 32 bit vs 64 bit drivers in older software. I had Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) and it would not load into that version of Windows because it would only accept the newer 64 bit Adobe Acrobat ($400). Forget it! Technology is made a necessity and then you are forced to purchase upgrades. It stinks.<br />P.S.

Oh, the perils of getting a new computer...Hi Rose,<br /><br />Oh, the perils of getting a new computer! I'm very happy with my little netbook. It's about five years old now and for some, that means I should get a new one. I'm going to hold onto it until it no longer works.....<br /><br />Thanks for visiting me! I love showing off where I live. I also enjoy seeing other posts of different parts of the country. Some places I'll never be fortunate to visit.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Kay<br />505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217619765473559269.post-58297231381209552542012-12-17T11:26:51.260-06:002012-12-17T11:26:51.260-06:00I think I am good to go.

You had to do the verification scrambled word box about every third email you sent out. Or have them send you a text to verify.Not for me.Smalltowngiggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763018749496405577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217619765473559269.post-59298920275042151752012-12-17T10:04:22.460-06:002012-12-17T10:04:22.460-06:00good luck!

Please keep us all updated. I, too, love Windows 7. But duct tape and jiggling???? awwwww....you have much more patience than I. I would have done without eating to get a new one before I went through all that! No wonder you have a day care and I only babysit my two granddaughters! lolLeave It To Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510401202733633537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217619765473559269.post-74873321012226536352012-12-14T13:09:27.755-06:002012-12-14T13:09:27.755-06:00I despise learning new systems.

I haven't gotten one in our last two purchases. It sounds to me, that if you have 8 it is a bit complicated to go down to 7. I didn't want to try it anyway. I could have got Windows 7 one model but it was going to cost me 70 bucks. Windows 8 came free. The I bought didn't have that option. My thought was, I had W98,ME( that one was really horrible) Vista, Windows 7 and figured them out, I would survive Windows 8. I wasn't so sure this morning, tho, when it asked for my login password, AGAIN. I had to go in and change that, AGAIN. If I wasn't such a determined person, I would say, Oh, Well, and type in a password. But then Microsoft would have won. LOL Good luck on a new computer. If you need it, I have links bookmarked that will help.Smalltowngiggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763018749496405577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217619765473559269.post-69476129026088384882012-12-13T22:37:36.107-06:002012-12-13T22:37:36.107-06:00The motherboard fried and died on my four year old...The motherboard fried and died on my four year old PC and now I live in fear of getting a new one with...WINDOWS 8...of course you could take that version of Windows whatever you had last and load it on your new PC...Tammy's in Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627114863825254528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217619765473559269.post-17898187374718535032012-12-13T18:33:07.873-06:002012-12-13T18:33:07.873-06:00I agree.
