Lkorrow> What is that dog magical assistant thing? I never heard of that. . . .

Dear Linda,
Was it called Cortana? Some sort of electronic computer
assistant and it kept trying to 'help' me. It wanted
more and more personal type information . . . It wanted
to keep all my passwords for me . . .

I found it to be more of an irritant than anything else.
Also, I don't like that windoze wants me to put everything
under 'my documents' . . . I prefer to set up multiple
sub-directories (sometimes on separate drives) for
filing all my stuff. I never really want to store my
files in 'my documents'.

And I really like to have my computer play the music I
like as background noise while working (playing?) on
my computer.

And then win-10 defaulted to running sound out some
non-existent head phones - instead of out the computer
speakers I use. So, no noise till I googled and found
out what the dingbats did . . . And let us not forget
that windoze wants to hide music files so I can't find
and make archive copies (backups in case a hard drive
goes to that bit bucket in the sky on me).

The Guru at work thinks win-10 is the greatest thing
since sliced bread . . .

I still like my old XP machine.

Zim.

Hi Zim,

Fascinating, I didn't have any problems, except I had to upgrade a driver for my printer. I don't have music, so I didn't have that issue.

Then, I installed Win 10 PRO, not the one you installed.

What is that dog magical assistant thing? I never heard of that. . . .

Well, you're good at PC stuff, so enjoy Win 7!

Linda
