Your hesitancy about Windows 8 is wise. (Thankfully Windows 10 is looking more like 7) You can still buy legal copies of Windows 7, primarily used to re-cycle older PCs, but still a full, legal version.

Last time it was fixed by some thumps, but, this time the magic thump is not working. I will be opening it up to see if I can find the loose cable/connection. However, I have a feeling it is time to replace the entire system now. I am little hesitant to go over to windows 8 as I have to upgrade several of my software. I was wondering if anyone could recommend windows 7 laptop or a desktop computer? Thank you Ali
