win10 is a major down grade to me. example: like where are all my programs at my start bar? I have office97on disc. which has word ect.
the new LT is pounding me to sign up for a free word for 1 year which actually expires 3-2-022 I can't open any word doc. or even word pad doc. I can in notepad.
the constant adjusting screen zoom is a joke full screen 50%/67%/75% 67% is what I use but being forced to adjust every page at every website is getting old, plus at 67% it overscans like text is outside the screen.
I don't mind using a win7 LT offline see I cruise in ( I see your in great lakes I have a 24' starcraft crusier) the gulf of Mexico from Ft.morgan,AL to destin, FL when I come in to protected waters it's nice to have a little entertainment on long 3-4 day cruises, I can use the old LT
for playback & for live TV no net necessary yes I can survive w/out the net for a few days, just getting away from it all.
see I have for the acer a 12volt DC powersupply brick & allmost new battery, I could probably find adaptors for the brick but I'd like to continue to use both as is.
I mite be looking into ditching windows and learning linux if it's not to hard, I'm just used to windows.
last night I missed a deal on a acer same model# but had a nicer CPU i5 was complete w/ OS & drive $60.+$15.shipping which comparing to the others is a good price for a working LT. I didn't pull the trigger BC I'm still weighting options + one ebay image of screen was locked by owner.
anyway I was surprised at all the old LT parts PPL are selling any and every piece.
edit: if I do find a deal on a decent win7 LT w/ i5 CPU will I be able to install say win 10 or 11 to that machine.
edit2: my old acer made in 2009 has resolution of 1920X1080 new LT is like 1300X700 more down grading
thanks
