I’m back, I am bad… but, it will take a few days to reconstruct my libraries of irrelevant memes and snark… they did not load into my WIN 10 HP, I will have to load them manually over the weekend and get use to navigating around this bastard WIN 10 shit, I hate it! I want my Win 7, waaah!

I’m with your there Cedriq
I too still am using WIN 7 and am fighting tooth and nail to keep this dinosauar running.
Search the internet for tips on how to get Win10 to look and feel as much like Win7 as possible. You can’t get it 100%, but you can at least get rid of some of the worst of Win10.
I did that, I have openshell on it and it is close, but not a ripe banana…
You need a little cheese with that whine?
Here I am refusing to accept win 11. Don’t feel so out dated as such.
But I am tempted to switch out of S mode as much as Bill keeps saying “I won’t let you back”
When I decided to get rid of Windows 7, I went to Linux Mint and never looked back.
When DOS 1.o first came out, my opinion was, “What a miserable excuse for Unix. Gimme Digital Research’s DOS any day!”. When Windows first came out, I thought, “What a miserable parody of a Mac”.
I’ll take linux/Unix any day, and my opinion(s) haven’t changed much about Mr. Gates’ abomination of an Operating system. Yet fools keep buying it. WinDoze acts like a multi-taskig multi-threaded OS when it is neither, and poorly operates trying to do both.
My itty-bitty Raspberry Pi works better, cheaper, and faster! And I only paid 100 bucks for it!
I feel for ya, man. I’ve had to do that, before the days of big thumb drives. Worst case was once I helped a friend who kept every e-mail ever, and didn’t want to lose any – even those from the early days of AOL. That took a little actual programming, IIRC. That was back before storing all your e-mail “on line” was a thing. Hey, I still don’t use that – all my stored e-mails – the ones I want to keep – are on my local machine.
My best suggestion, given I suspect you’re not up (yet) for trying Linux, and if you haven’t done it yet, is to get an external hard drive and perform regular backups. Of course, that’s always a good idea, irrespective of whether you swith operating systems.
I loaded Malwarebytes last night, no problem, loaded CCleaner and after a minute or two, it would not respond to being clicked on. I deleted it and would work on it later. I loaded my AceMoney accounting software and when I hit the .EXE file to install it, the screen flashed twice, and went to “System Recovery” and when that stopped all I got was my name “Kevin” on the screen, shades of HAL after he was unplugged… and then nothing, it is comatose. Now, I have loaded software and configged machines since WIN 3.1 and damned if I know what I did right or wrong. I will have to take it back to the computer geek/store I bought it from on Monday… fluck me.
I only switched to Win10 back when they stopped support for 7, and I still hate it. I hate any software that assumes it knows what I want better than I do. I hate any software that tries to sign me up for services I have to pay for. I hate any software that wants me to log into their corporate servers routinely. If and when I want something, fine. Otherwise, for all software, I say, “when I want your opinion, I’ll beat it out of you.”
You can guess how I’ve reacted to the constant efforts to push 11 onto my machines that are exposed to the outside world. I still have two Win 7 machines that live in isolation.
Try using Classic Shell. I have been for years ever since WIN8 came along. It allows you to have a desktop and start menu like 7 or XP http://classicshell.net/

I have used it since 2015 or so.
