Simple, Reba. Like I always say, dump the Microsoft. No, I won't tell you to get Linux if that's too intimidating. I'll recommend another Linux-based OS and that's Google Chrome. If you want to do simple things like you said, a chrome book or a chrome box (plus a cheap monitor, keyboard and mouse) is all you need. Both run about $100+ to $200+ dollars. No viruses, no slow-ups, no de-fragging, no compatibility issues. You only need one thing: a gmail account and you get free online storage and email. Unless one is practicing to be a saint or monk with endless patience, I don't know why anyone would want to put up with Microsoft to do the stuff you do with all the abusive issues that OS puts people through. Microsoft is so...... yesteryear! In fact, if everyone here would use Linux, Mac OS's, google chrome or Android, and dump the Microsoft immediately, I guarantee you this forum would be practically closed tomorrow because that's all I ever see on this: Microsoft problems. This is why once in awhile I try to introduce other topics such as the Fibonacci clock thread I started in order to get a breather and with no complaints.
