Hi Linda Yes I got that from your earlier reply But do you know what version of Windows 7 you are using? 32 or 64 bit? If Windows 7 Click start button bottom left In the menu you will see Computer, *right* click over it and select Properties That should show a page with all the information on it and the version of Windows you are using including if its 32 or 64 bit As to W10 crashing, that is not my experience or anyone else who I have spoken to, perhaps your IT man is being a little over negative on that score, I wonder if he has tried it ? So far the overwhelming response I have seen to W10 has been positive on the whole, it does have some privacy issues which need addressing but they are user selectable I see no need for a program to disable the W10 popups which don't interfere with anything Its your choice at whether you upgrade or not but at some point Windows 7 & 8 will not be supported leaving your computer vulnerable Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04/02/2016 02:06, Linda via wrote: > Nivard, It is VERSION 8.
