Sr. Citizen Quest's As A New W10 User.
Hello,
Sr. Citizen now, very,and frankly not all that sharp with this "stuff" anymore.
Would be most grateful for any help.
Have had W7 for many years, was "happy" with it, but new desktop (DELL XPS 8900) due to arrive
in a few days is coming with W10.
Would like to get a bit of head-start in using it.
a. What is the most practical way of transferring the files, Photos, etc. from the old to the new PC ?
Can it go back and forth thru my Cisco/LinkSys Router, perhaps, so I don't have to copy to an external HD
and transfer between the PC's using it ? Better and quicker way ?
b. Will blame it on old age, but would really like the new PC with W10 to emulate the look and feel of W7 as much as possible. Sure don't want the Tiles, etc. The Folder views that W7 has are quite fine for me.
So, what steps should I "immediately" take to put it in this (modes) ?
I guess there are quite a few "things" to do.
c. I use MS WORD and Excel a lot. Presently have the 2007 versions which is fine for me.
Assuming I can find the CD's for them, will they transfer to W10 ?
If not, and I have to purchase new copies of each, what is the best way, and the best price ?
Anyplace have cheaper ?
I see that they have a Home and Student for about $ 231. Ugh !
Anything cheaper for just WORD and Excel ? I don't want a yearly Lic., just want to purch. and forget.
Much thanks, appreciate the help,
Bob
