Again, the simpler the setup, the more people available to help him. Custom setups in a small town will cause old people problems and help could take a long time to show up.

If something can go wrong, an old person will find it! 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. I have 10 years experience helping old people with computers.

You would not believe what they can mess up.....

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.

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.

I get that you think you know a lot to help people when they mess up some software settings on their PC but by linking that garbage you linked it's obvious you know shite about hardware.

You should NEVER let the OS sell you since it's to easy to change to the one you want. Hardware should always be the most important deciding factor.

Just stop before someone actually takes your advice.

Thanks,
