Wow! I am impressed with the number of helpers and your collective wisdom. All of this is new to me... I've never tinkered with hardware, simply using what came with my system without issues. And, frankly, a lot of the discussion is foreign language to me.
bobkn - your replies have helped a lot. My system is what it is because I have used it to write, design, and self publish 9 books over the years using Quark, each with 100s of photos I process and enhance with Photoshop. I am not a gamer and do not use video apps. So maybe a return to Win 7 isn't such a bad idea. My only concern is that it will continue to function over the long haul, as in 10 more years. Do you have any thoughts about that? Also, can you tell me how to get back to where I was a week ago with Win 7? Thanks so much!
