Did you give it to someone you disliked? [;)]
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

No. A friend had it on her laptop, (HP something), so I gave her my dvd. Guess it got scared because the hard drive died :)

My Windows 10 update attempt was a nightmare. The first time I tried everything seemed to go well, except none of the Windows 10 features worked. I could still use the computer, but not even the calculator in Windows 10 would work. So I called MicroSoft. After their low level support could not figure it out, they gave me an appointment for another phone consult with higher level support. They didn't call at the appointed time.

I found a MicroSoft web site with suggestions for the upgrade, so I tried again. This time it turned my tower into a large brick. Thanks. So off to the Geek Squad. They said they would be happy to install 10 for me, but I opted for them reinstalling Windows 7. A couple of days later, now that the computer was in the shop, MicroSoft called out of the blue to help me. Thanks again.

I won't upgrade now until the computer dies.

Updates! One thing I learned a long, long time ago was to turn off auto-update. I would examine what each update was supposed to do and only occasionally did any updating. MS updates have a history of causing too many problems. And of course that led to further more updates to fix the previous update.

Windows 7 still dominates the OS market becasue it is good solid and safe. Microsoft knows most of us will keep with 7 for as long as we can to avoid the boring and dumb Windows 10.
That's the view of a few vociferous idiots here whose politics are to the right of Ghengis Khan and defend their hatred of foreigners and minorities with the idea that they are practicing patriotism rather than bigotry.
