[Magdalen] Computer help

[Grace Cangialosi]

Well, I keep getting reminders that I can only install Win10 for free until the 29th. I don't want it, but I didn't think they would just go ahead and install it anyway...Any way to prevent that?  Of course, it might be better than Win8, if it isn't designed for touch screens. I really don't know what to do!! How different is WIN10? I still haven't figured out the Word program that came with WIN8...all the toolbars are different than the old ones...
Oh well.......
