So, after the robbers took all my technological devises, I had to buy some again. I bought a cell phone that is worse than the one I had. The old one was Samsung and this one was the smallest and cheapest LG.
I also bought a laptop. Again the cheapest one. It is an Acer, but all brands have good and not so good computers, depending on the price you are going to spend. I would have spend a bit more if I had found a laptop with Windows 7. As it is, all had only Windows 10 and I am angry trying to use it. This is the first post I´m writing (no notifications yet) after having trying to connect the thingie to the internet for hours. I think that Carolina connected me forever to Claudia´s house yesterday.
While I was trying to make it work, I received the visit of some workers who will repair my fence.
And I invited Lili for tea time.
I do hope you are having a better time. What are you doing?

@prashu228 The worst is the lost passwords of the first sites. At the beginning, I did not write them down.

I have heard that Acer is a good brand of the cheaper ones. I always stick to Dell. I have been getting them since early 2000's and they are good. Windows 10 is really different and I didn't like it to begin with. But now that I have learned how to navigate it I really like it. Hope things get better for you.

@celticeagle Several people have told me that Acer is fine. Anyway, I don´t use it for difficult things.

I was thinking about replacing it with another one of the brand of the lost laptop that my sister gave me. But it was a Samsung and I could not afford it.

My old computer upstairs stopped working just now. I´ll try to check it later with someone who knows.

@LadyDuck We have grown so addicted to things like computers that it seems we cannot live without them.

The laptop comes with Windows 10. Can I go back to Windows 7?

@gullver I´ll see if someone can do it. But not now. I´m so far behind in everything I have to do.

I had to accept it. But I lost all I had in the computer I lost.

@marguicha That would make your connection invisible during set up.

That happened with my old computer. With this one, probably the trouble started when Carolina started the computer from my daughter´s house.

The police won´t even try. For them it is a small robbery. And yes, I had pictures and stuff I write.

There are cell phones and laptops of all prices. But I cannot buy an expensive one. As it is, I decided not to spend money in a tablet as I don´t use it much.

I haven't had much of a good experience with Windows 10, either. Hubby had accepted the automatic upgrade from Win8 to Win10, but we really struggled with it. When the computer needed fixing, our friend did the repair and re-installed Windows 7 for us. We were happy to have it back, and the computer runs more smoothly now.

I would have to pay for that as my grandson who knows how to do it is away.

I hope someone will be able to install again Windows 7. But not yet. I have too much with the welders and the electrician.

I'm using Windows 7 now. It's great and I don't encounter any problems yet with this unit. by the way, have you reported the incident into the police? or have you got any lead or suspect for that robbery? well you should. He the one who did that should be punished under the law.
well, I'm doing fine here, the internet is good and I'm just chilling while mylotting, hope we'll enjoy the day!

I don´t have the least idea of who they were. I did report it to the police and they came. But they will not get anywhere.
