We were finally driven to "upgrade" (a debatable term) from XP to Windows 7 and get a new computer. I'm keeping the old one for Adobe, as I haven't found any other photo software yet I like as well for simplicity and versatility. My husband is the tech guru. He has kept XP for me as long as he could, but finally had to throw in the towel. He's transferred all the documents over to the new system and set it up to resemble XP as much as possible. And now my job is to learn how to do my two newsletters and two web sites with the new programs. I am sure some folks really enjoy the challenge of learning new software, but I am not one of them. What I enjoy is writing and editing the articles and setting everything up on the page in an interesting way. I see there is lots of scope for flashy presentation with my new Publisher and Word, so that may be fun to play with, though many of them are "ink hogs"--both newsletters I edit are printed and mailed.
One downside is our Epson printer can no longer produce pdf with the Windows 7. I used that feature to get my newsletters into email form and will have to figure out some other method.
Windows 7 is supported until 2020. Our new computer can go to 10 if/when we choose.
