have been away from windows, using Linux past five years or so. and win 7 offline [a great acer i refused to upgrade, so i went with Linux, til now, i use it for movie maker, dvd maker, etc. other music production stuff].
there’s a learning curve i’m having a bit of trouble with, and certain drivers i need. but i know i’ll get it, just not as user friendly as i’d like, and while looking for virus protection the reviews say win 11 bloated, but that’s how windows is. i need it for a special musical instrument application/function. that’s ALL i’m gonna use it for. one program: Gforce Mtronpro. has to be mac/windows. offline. uneasy with it having no malware protection til i get it on line. probably too late now anyway. had both my laptops going watching tutorials. but they’re all new … have been away from windows, using Linux past five years or so. and win 7 offline [a great acer i refused to upgrade, so i went with Linux, til now, i use it for movie maker, dvd maker, etc. other music production stuff].

ha! didn’t truly realize i’m so elderly! don’t feel like learning another operating system. i didn’t know what a widget is, for example. it’s always something. i’m sure things will be great once i get it going. forgive attitude. ill, today. not at my best.
