BulldogTom Posted September 18, 2019 Report Posted September 18, 2019 I was looking for a financial series I had written for my church a few years back and could not find it on my current computer (Win 10). So I pulled my Win 7 machine out of storage and hooked it up. Nope, not there either. So I pulled out my really old Win XP machine. Shocked that it fired right up (but it took a while - gotta love that new SSD in my current computer). It was amazing that I could plug in my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse and they worked perfectly with XP. I remember I never wanted to leave that operating system and only did so when there was no other choice. Found what I was looking for, but it was different to see that old operating system. And no, I did not connect it to the internet while I was on it. I have no idea if there are any boogey men out there just waiting for an XP machine to connect to the interweb thingy and steal all my old data, but I was not taking a chance. Tom Modesto, CA 6 Quote
Margaret CPA in OH Posted September 18, 2019 Report Posted September 18, 2019 My dedicated fax machine is an old XP computer. Faxes come there then I can transfer, if desired, to my main computer now Win 10. There are differences, indeed! 4 Quote
