The woman was a compulsive QVC shopper who usually brought two of everything. She already was using one and let me have this HP 17 inch laptop still in the box! It had windows 8 and I didn’t like the interface or functionality of that program. I decided to check this forum and found your post.

Thank you I am downloading windows 10.
