Have decided to resolve this issue by installing Wdw7 on the new Toshiba ...
Reasons:
Am not very tech smart, and believe even if I use some of these ideas, I'll continue to have difficulty with it.
Don't like the way Wdw8 works - generally, hidden icons, tiles concept, etc ...
Can buy Wdw7 for less than the new programs -
Won't have to update other peripherals (printers, scanners, camera software)
Can install and modify the programs I already own
Already learned/know how to use it
It is compatible with my clients and my other LTs in the house
Haven't tried it with my printers, scanners, cameras yet, but bet the house it will give me problems.
And, I can save that last hair that I haven't pulled out yet, and save that last nerve Wdw8 has been sitting on for the last month. :) :) :)
Thanks again for all the advice ... M44
