Wouldn't that be nice! But both of our new laptops have 8th generation Intel processors which are basically incompatible with Windows 7 except in virtual machines... which I do have.

This is because of an intentional effort on Microsoft's part to stymie the development of necessary drivers.

Up until the point Microsoft stops providing security patches for Windows 7 on 1/14/2020.

I plan to keep my W7 laptop until it dies.

The new W10 boxes seem have all kinds of random problems. Mostly little but annoying.
