That's why he should listen to me and not you. One of the PCs I linked above is significantly superior to that one in every way and is $10 more. It would be more ideal to buy a better-configured Windows 8 machine and install Windows 7 on it if desired. But like I said, since Windows 8 can be set up to be identical to 7, there's no need.

I quit speaking to my oldest sister for 6 months until I installed TeamViewer on her pc and no longer had to ask her what she did wrong.
That's an even better idea than getting Windows 7.

I would believe it, which is why Windows 8 is a better choice for the less savvy. It can be set up by the OP to look identical to 7, with added security benefits and more automated maintenance.

Computer specs are not the most important matter when working with seniors.
My prior link shows 80% of desktops have Win7 or earlier and 13% use Win 8. There are so many more people able to help him when he has questions about Win7.
I only ask one thing. I ask that you accept full responsibility for your advice and give the old man your home phone number so he can call you when he has a question about his Win8 machine. If you agree to that, I will accede to your suggestions.
Good luck with that!
