Oh yes, I'm sure!
She hasn't turned her computer on in well over two years, and she doesn't even touch Chrome on her tablet in case she breaks something.
I'll get her using the internet at some point, but it's very much a "softly, softly, catchee monkee" exercise - she doesn't like change and it takes her a long time to realise that it's an improvement in her life. Sigh | :sigh:

Besides... she has you, so why to learn?

I am quite younger than you, and in my case was something similar. She, at least, has learned how to use internet. For my tranquility, she does it quite secure. All what she is not 110% sure, she doesn't touch/click it and ask me. For the rest... she doesn't give a sh... and it is all on me

I've got one at home just like that. Had her for over 50 years so I don't think there's much chance of her changing now. Still, she looks after me tremendously well.

I went literally years without a BSOD[^] in Windows 7 and now I seem to get them weekly with Win10 - on multiple machines.

Is it just me?

I haven't had a BSOD on Win10 at all - and don't think I had one on Win7 either (which was fairly remarkable).

I've been running 10 on two machines for a few months and haven't BSOD'd yet. Also, I don't believe I ever had one on 7 either. 8 was a different story!

I had one, although that was because of NVidia testing in production with a driver that did some rather bad things.

Other than that, WinX seems to be quite stable (and fast).

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Did you upgrade to 10 on these machines or did you do a clean install? I had issues on one machine after an upgrade, but after I did a clean install on it, life is sweet! On another 2 machines I never had an issue. Those were clean installs.

Had a few BSODs on my laptop, always when using Autocad.
Clean install on my PCs and no problems at all.

I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

On Windows 10 the BSOD is nicer. Blush | :O

I got BSOD on all. On Windows 7 somehow more and often. I think because Nvidia-drivers or sleep mode.

I've seen it a few times. Looks just as familiar and cozy as it used to be. But mostly the system didn't bother and just went black. Probably one of the areas where MS improved performance! Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

It's not just you.

I upgrade 4 of my PCs to windows 10, 3 work perfectly and one is just a total nightmare! I suspect it is a problem in the Amd Radeon video driver. I tried upgrading as well as a clean install and it is pretty unstable, to say the least!

Hmm. I'm guessing your S.O.'s machine does not BSOD under Win10.

My machine, a venerable Acer that started with Vista, has been running Win10 for months, with nary a problem.

My wife's laptop, which is only a few months old and has a virgin-install of Win10, BSOD's at the drop of a hat. Any hat. Hats in Cleveland.

Swap machines with your S.O., if you dare.

No BSOD yet after upping to 10 but there are some nasty quirks here like the start button or task bar becoming disabled after some time and video stalling or losing sound after some time. Hoping it will get fixed.
