  Do the Windows people ever bother to consider that people with eye problems cannot read teeny tiny print?  Yes, I can enlarge the print, but there is a lot of that doesn't enlarge.  It's annoying!  I had my screens the way I like them.  Now, they are all F'ed up again.  Grr.

I refuse to update to Windows 10. It has way to many bugs yet.

The web keeps trying to force me to update though. Not going to happen.

In the mean time, I installed Windows 8. :)

Aaron installed it on the PC.

It wiped out mom's Microsoft Office she uses for work.

She is not happy.

I bought the Windows 10 for Dummies book and it told me that if I was satisfied with my present Windows (7 Pro) to not bother to update and I think that is just what I will do. Do not want to learn all the new stuff. LOL

 Go into the computer and reset it to before the installation.  It will get rid of it and restore the old stuff.

 You might try installing "Open Office", which is free from www.download.com .

It seems to be compatible with all versions of Office.

 

My Tablet came with a free one year subscription to "Office 365" ($99 per year after the first), which I don't want.

Open Office has been compatible with all documents from my employer, and all older Word and Excel documents.

Thanks LL, I'll tell her to try it.

Ed, she uses Microsoft because that's what they use in her work.

She consults with several assisted living facilities in Georgia.

Me too. 

 

The software doesn't have to come from Microsoft to work with her files made in Microsoft Office.

I could have been misinformed, but, it's my understanding that once you mover to Windows 10 under the "free" offer, you have 30 days to revert back to the previous version you were using if you don't like it. I'm not sure how involved the reversion is though.

 You need to look at help under "Restore".  It should guide her through it.  Just pick the last restore date prior to the new installation to recover as much as you can.  You will lose any data between that date and now.
