Hi. New here, but have come to the various [windows name] forums dating back to the XP days (xpforums.com) as a unregistered guest. I'm a mostly self-taught intermediate level computer user. My dad used to always say when I was a lot younger and had my first PC (AMD 80386-DX 40Mhz) that I knew just enough to be dangerous. this was because I was constantly needing him to reinstall MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, due to my experimentation and exploration. he eventually gave me a set of my own install diskettes, and the rest is history. I have given up most of the exploring and experimentation with how the OS works, having learned all that I needed too know. I am able to solve the majority of my PC problems on my own, and I manage my Mom's PC for her. If I have a problem that I post about, it is usually because it has me stumped. But that doesn't mean I won't stop working on it on my own, while waiting for a response too my post.

I prefer repair installs (in-place upgrades) over clean installs. I view a clean install as a absolute last resort. I would rather fix the issue than run a repair install or do a clean install. and if it's a choice between a clean install, and a factory install, I will choose a factory install. I don't think system utilities included by the OEM are bloatware. what I consider bloatware are third party software, such as Norton security, or other brands of security/AV software. also third party cd/dvd/bluray/media players included with a system. I am careful about the systems I buy, choosing them for minimal bloatware.

the most programming I can do is write some Commodore 64/128 BASIC and batch files written for MS-DOS and Win9x (including multi-choice boot-up menu's done via Autoexec.bat). I can also do some basic HTML coding. for all of that, I am self taught. I also have experience with MS-Office XP Pro (version 2002), Office 2007 Ultimate, Office 2010 Pro, and Office 2019 (365 personal)

My first computer was a Windows 95 on my 65th birthday, now 21 years ago. Sometimes i try to help friends with simple matters, an i've learned a lot from our local forums, but also this one. Education is a never ending procedure.
