I’ve worked on several Windows 7 computers over the last few weeks. I thought they would be rarer, and I talked to someone who is using an XP computer. What struck me about the Windows 7 computers was how similar to Windows 10 it really is. Also, the old programs on it that aren’t around today. Picasa was one, and Word Perfect was another.
Those programs, and several others, run fine on Windows 7 and the old software can be a serious investment, so says my friend still keeping his Windows 98 computer. And really, that is the reason to hang onto an old computer, for the expensive software. That is no reason, however, not to get a new computer running Windows 10. Windows 7 computers are having a harder time out there when browsing the WEB. As browsers on Win 7 no longer get updated, they fall behind in security, and some websites will not display on them. My XP friend is starting to run into that more often. If you absolutely can’t leave your Windows 7 or XP, I did find a browser that purportedly is maintaining their security on those platforms. It’s called MyPal, and it’s a branch of Mozilla’s Firefox lineage. I’ll offer it as a stopgap till you come to your senses. You can find it HERE. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/mypal.html I haven’t tried it, but it seems like there are a lot of stubborn folks out there and this browser was created to fulfill that group’s need. Good luck. Let me know how it goes. Comments are closed.
