Haha I had to get some of my junk
today and one of the things was an
old laptop, XP which I had geek squad
put in linux os(?) so I could still use it.
I just don't know how to navigate linux.
One day I'll actually sit down and look at it.
That laptop was heavy duty and I loved it.

The problem is even if you might continue to use Win 7 etc. with Virtual Box (or something similar) with no updates the OS presenrts a potential security risk from what I've read...

Windows 8 was horrible barf That's why people went back to Windows 7 and didn't want to try Windows 10

I miss my XP, never gave me any problems.
Well, idk I'm not a computer fan and don't follow
the latest but I had it at work and at home.
Worked for me 😊
