Pay your money and next customer please. At 74 you get used to being invisible to staff in shops. My last computer was sold to me, without all I needed or made any attempt to find out what I wanted and needed.
When I contacted Microsoft on the issue previously discussed via their page, as soon as I informed them about the issue, I was pushed on up the line.
Microsoft is big enough to have a section only for Senior customers to assist them. I rarely need help, but have to look at their fact pages that rarely have what I need.
Thinking of getting an Apple computer, heard good reports about them and their service
