I do have a desktop in a box hanging around...

I'm still using my 2008 laptop running Win7. It is infinitely upgradeable, everything on it is replaceable. I've recently added more RAM and a 3 TB SSD. The only issue is Win7 is the optimal OS for this machine because the processor is dual core and that can't be upgraded. So I stay off the internet with it, and do all my web browsing on my tablet.


I do using it to write, and I've recently been trying out a writing program called Scrivener using my husband's laptop, which runs Win11. Unfortunately Scrivener isnt available for Win7 so now I am cautiously investigating upgrading my circa 2008 x200 ThinkPad's OS to Win10. People do it. It's just monkeying with a good thing, though, IMO.

Oh, and Scrivener isn't available for Linux, or that would definitely be my solution. Linux is brilliant on the old ThinkPads.

@piqué, thanks for bringing up Scrivener.
I looked it up and I am impressed!
