You really are an old tr, er, um, geezer.... lol!!!!!

Scube is a spring chicken compared to you and Ribs! lol!!!!!!

Here is the real problem.

We're OLD. WE HATE CHANGE. It's natural.

Zim had it right a long while ago. Get off Mickey soft and use a newer distro of linux like Mint..

Alas, we are creatures of habit and comfort with things that are familiar to us.

Like you, I LOVE my windows 7 Pro. I got windows 10 on my laptop and don't like it as much as my windows 7.

So I need to decide if I am going to just leave well enough alone or meddle around.

My son in law brought me a newly acquired small desktop with windows 10 on it. I would have to be able to transfer all my operating system and programs onto this new puter in order to use it..

That's a tall order. Not sure how to accomplish that.

So I am kinda stuck.....

Re: “I’m retiring next month.”Congratulations! I love being retired. I get to do what I want to do, when I want to do it.

That's part of my beef with Windows 11. I've got software that I wrote a long time ago that does exactly what I want. I spent a long time building it. While I enjoy programming, it's not my whole life anymore. I've got other things going on like building a bad farm, and building a bad (but gigantic) bookshelf, and opening a few thousand boxes to see whether I still want whatever I put into them 25 years ago, and getting rid of the crap I don't want.

Staying current with application updates that don't improve my efficiency or enjoyment is time consuming. I don't appreciate being forced to do so. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind. And if I find that somebody is intentionally breaking my stuff, I tend toward annoyance.

BTW: I retired in 2018 from I.T. Security. I was formerly an I.T. manager, a Sys Admin and a C programmer. The Luddite you may think you're speaking to today has only started being that way in the last few years. Give yourself seven years or so and, assuming you'd like to spend your retirement on things other than what you were doing when you were twenty, you may find yourself becoming the same way.
