    JTTaylor2 and PortlandMT I'm still watching here and I have Windows 11 notifications on hold till the end of the month but I'm seriously considering moving into a MacBook. I can donate my PC to a school. Windows 11 was not ready for average users like me. The promise of a roll back clearly didn't work for a number of people. I have consulted two techs who confirm that we are not alone.

    Windows surely does suck.

    You had me curious about going to a Macbook. I use Office/Word/Excell and that is not an issue with Macbook. However, my Dell printer is incompatible with a Mac computer. If you switch to Mac, make sure your printer has the proper Mac Drivers to run it. Mine does not.

    Hi PortlandMT, my iPhone 'air' prints to my old Epson XP-520. I'm actually more concerned that my printer will automatically connect for an update from Epson. As I have retrofitted it with large ink tanks from eBay, much cheaper, I don't want any new Epson updates to mess it up.

    Also I haven't understood yet what happens with my mail which is currently saved off line in Outlook .pst files. so many questions!

    I will continue researching via google and family using mac.

    With Outlook, you may have an issue with it being saved .pst. or at least that is what I read.

    Everything I do is based on Microsoft programs so switching to a mac will not be an option for me. I'm tired of technical challenges.
