[Magdalen] Computer help

[Scott Knitter]

Windows 10 is not so different from Windows 7. It's not like the
difference between 7 and 8.

I like it, and I admit I'm a little compulsive about keeping to the
latest versions of systems and apps, mainly for security reasons but
also because I like shiny new things (and products being well
supported by the company that made them).

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...
