Try Linux (maybe Zorin). Zorin is Windows-like, and will do everything except play some popular computer games; and Amazon won’t let its prime movies be adapted to linux.

Otherwise, basically, it is easy to use and NOT Windows 10 with all its problems.

What are some of the Windows 10 problems you mention?
Probably no worse than Windows 7.

Remember this thread is for those who are procrastinating (as I was) about switching from 7 to 10.

Linux switch is another issue.

At your suggestion awhile back I went and dug into Zorin. It is the same Mint cinnamon I am running now with different graphics options and label. :)

Heads up about the Zorin, They are selling versions of that and I am not so sure they are legally supposed to. Just as others cannot due to the licensing of the Linux Kernel they are using. And everything they have in it is already available open source. The version they are selling below is a Mint cinnamon bundled software package with a different window dressing.
