[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 688369, member: 1963"] Well, I'm finally back and with a real keyboard. I will never understand the younger set who use smartphones for internet by preference. It all started with Thomas getting very sick and winding up at the vet's. Finally got home with him, and proceeded to dump a full 14oz mug of tea all over the keyboard of my old faithful Dell. It went to the Place Faithful Computers Go When They Die. Needless to say, I ordered the modern version of my old Dell (RIP), though had to put it on a credit card. It got here yesterday AM, complete with Windows 10. I spent most of yesterday setting it up, removing bloatware, putting my stuff on it, installing backups, etc. So far, I like windows 10 for what I've done with it. I went straight from W7 to 10. The only issue so far is that I can't figure out how to get into the "guts" of this operating system. Not only is it VERY locked down, but it also reports a bunch of stuff back to Microsoft that I'd rather it didn't. I can't figure out how to disable that because I can't figure out how to get into the registry. I ordered some books on the OS, and will have to take the time to go through them. Hopefully, I'll be able to find the answers in there. [/QUOTE]
