that my Windows 7 will no longer be supported, which will mean other software on it will cease to provide updates in the coming months.

I hate the process of changing over to a new machine at my age, but hopefully this will be the last (I started out with DOS 5.1 in the early 90s).

This one is too damn slow any way, so getting a faster one will be a plus. The Dell laptop I got my son last year for his college work has Win 8.1. He likes it and the machine is fast as lightning.
