to get 10 or not?

I've heard so much problems with windows 10. I need to get a new Tower, etc, and dell offers windows 10 and my computer! I've heard so much not "good reviews" I really fear for windows 10. I don't play pc games, like big fish, freeridegames, gamehouse, wild tangent (in which freeridegames) give me a lot of trouble, but have been using it even if it runs like a broken horse. :), be honest, because it may be the last pc I at least I think so, do I get a 8 or 8.1 instead, cause especially at my age I'm still no computer, I need to get something that doesn't work right out of the box.  Please help me to choose, my spirit a sorta is 8 or 8.1, although I read on the microsoft site that they go or have stopped 7, 8, 8.1, maintenance & very soon. but honestly, would you please tell me the best choice with my minimal knowledge of the use of a computer.

There are just too many things to read and then try to figure out what to do to fix without having a lot of money for someone to help you understand. I fortunately microsoft has this forum. so, please help me to choose? I'm going to a new one in a month or 2 and I just play pc games, check e-mail and little else, PCs are only a passer of time for me. so please help me.

Thank you very much for any time that you can spend giving me the best option.  good life to you! I await your response.

In my opinion, a key factor for you, is that the computer you are about to buy is years, maybe twelve or even longer.  I'm currently typing this message on an eleven year old computer that came with XP but I have now upgraded to Windows 10 and this computer shows no signs of dying anytime soon.

Tuesday, January 14, 2020, Windows 7 will fall off MS supports.  There will be no more patches to fix newly discovered vulnerabilities so Windows 7 will quickly become the dream of a computer hacker.  You sure won't connect to internet and using a Windows 7 computer for internet banking services after that date would be very risky.

  1. So if you buy a Windows 7 computer now you are likely to end up buying a new in 2020.
  2. But if you buy a computer of Windows 10 now you should be able to continue to use it until by 2025 or later version.

    Perhaps that the eggs have hatched and the webcam has been removed.

    The problem is not just about anything on your computer.  You have to ask the person who is the owner of the webcam.

    The 404 or not found error message is an HTTP standard response

  • After I installed Windows 7 on HP laptop, get the message "not plugged in charge."

    Same laptop, charger even worked well in Visa. After a clean install of Windows 7, I get the message "not plugged in charge."

    On my system:
    HP / Compaq Mobile Workstation 8510w
    The charger is intended to be used for an additional cost / secondary battery - which worked fine under Vista when connected to the laptop. Still, ordinary charger works fine in Windows 7.

    So my question: must be unwanted software in Windows 7. Somehow, she acknowledges that it is not the normal charger and refuses to use it - but since it worked fine under Vista I would like to continue using it.
    How can I do this in Windows 7?

    I had the same problem with my Compaq after upgrade of a cell of 12 after battery box white market. What I did first, was I uninstalled and reinstalled ' Microsoft ACPI - control method battery compatible "and who did not work, so I followed the following steps:

    1. a laptop battery and remove (while on).

    2. open the lid and remove the AC adapter / CC (for again, turn off the system)

    3. close the lid and plug in the battery

    4. open the cover, plug the AC adapter and turn on.

    After I did the above, my system began to charge the battery. Some people say that after step 2, shut down the system before you unplug it from the AC. I don't have because most of the solutions I found does NOT shut down the system first. If you've been careful with your system, this time above should not do harm to your laptop

    This never used to happen before, I think it was the Thursday he began to arrive, I have Norton since January, but I installed Microsoft Security Essentials today, believing they would disappear, as it's free, but they do not go far.
