I just bought a great little color printer from HP for my girl
friend. It was an HP Deskjet 3755 for $69.95 at Fry's
It prints and copies but the scanner part does not work. I spoke
with HP and they told me Windows 10 does not support that printer.
They wanted me to buy software from a 3rd party for $200 for two
years.
What?????
If you buy one of these forget the scanning part.
Make sure when you buy a printer it works with Windows 10 or what
ever operating system you are using.
Linux Mint probably has software that might work

Windows 10 has copied android and allows advertising to interrupt
what ever program you are using. The entire computer world is going
to the dogs :-) Microsoft is putting out crap.
Good thing I am old and I don't have to put up with this bull shit
for many more years :-)

The guy I took my box to when it needed fixing for the last 15 years
has thrown in the towel over windows 10. The words he has to say
about Microsoft are not even safe to say in an email. At all costs
try using another OS. I don't have too many problems with 7 as I
will not allow windows to update the OS. XP pro was a good system, I
can always do a reinstall of that OS if needed. Andrew Campbell.
I totally agree. I think Linux Mint is the answer. It is far more
powerful than any windows version. Linux is the basis of the Apple
operating system both computers and cell phones as well as Android.
Unfortunately both Apple (I think) and Android modified it so
advertising can appear when you are using a program.
Linux Mint does not allow that. You are NEVER interrupted.
I have used Linux for about 30 years. It is an easy operating system
to learn. They don't change it much but new, more powerful programs
are offered from time to time. Gimp is a very powerful picture editor
and it is free. OpenShot is a great free video editor. Open Office is
free and it does everything MS Office does. Thunderbird is a great
email editor. It has been around since the dawn of the Internet.
Firefox is a great Internet browser.
Get an old computer and set it up with Linux Mint. Can't hurt.

Well done guys you are getting the hang of it.
