If I had a laptop with Vista or 8 on it, and wanted to run soaring
software, I would immediately wipe it and install Win7. Is there any Windoze software out there that doesn't run on 7? Don't understand all this excessive salivation over an unknown like 10. To get real work done, install a good Linux in a dual boot configuration. There's other options, but tend to not be as stable as dual-boot. -Dave On Thu, 16 Jul 2015 09:03:34 -0600, Dan Marotta wrote: My Dell laptop is 7-8 years old, originally came with Vista, and was beginning to slow down. I installed a 420 GB solid state drive and it blazed to new life, though still slow by today's standards due to the slow boot up protocol. For that reason I installed Win 8.1 and now it's unbelievably fast (to me). Maybe a solid state disk http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-In...75E500B-AM/dp/ B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1437058890&sr=1-1&keywords=solid +state+drive is in your future if you don't already have one. I plan to upgrade to Win 10 before troubleshooting the application glitches that came with switching to Win 8.1.

I'm hoping Win10 will wake it up. Maybe if SeeYou and Oudie Updater and IGC would only run on Linux. I've got an old netbook running Linux Mint. It's a small screen for planning tasks, but it would be easier to take on trips. BillT |
