[Magdalen] Computer help

...the last 'free' was originally last fall... but not enough of us are 
falling into line.  The biggest part of Win 10 is that most of the storage 
is in the cloud, free "for now" and I'm not really 'into' cloud storage... 
and that Win 8 will no longer be supported, which is also of concern.
