It shows the same in win-10 although in all apps
Hard to not notice unless blind
Thanks a lot for the help, really appreciated. I agree with what you say that newest isn't necessarily best. As I said W7 does offer an update for it but it messes up my display. Could this be because my screen resolution is only 1024x768?
Also, I've been thinking of trying to upgrade to W10. Would the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT work with it?
Anyway, here's the screenshot.
Hi,
I'd read up on what going on with the new update system forcing updates on people
As you said the M$ driver is worse in 7 so 10 will also be the same :)

If you try 10
At the least create a system image to a totally separate hdd well before upgrading so you can get back your win-7 reliably after using win-10 very poor system restore back to 7,
Imaging with free Macrium
Forcing updates on you is one of a number of things I don't like about W10. I think there may be a way to prevent this where drivers are concerned but I'll have to learn more about it. With W7 there's none of that hassle though. You just pick and choose what updates you want.
It's interesting you mention Macrium Reflect Free because I've been looking at it and if I do try to upgrade to W10 that's exactly what I would do. People I've read about who have tried to go back to W7 just using Windows restore have had real problems, as you confirm.
The more I think about it, the more I think I might just stick with W7. It works very nicely and if my laptop is still working when support ends in Jan 2020 I can decide what to do then. Thanks again for the help.
Hi,
Yea everyone should at least try win-10 and see what's up
Not everyone is prepared for the worst case in returning back to either 7 or 8..
Just remember you have 30 days to use win-10 system restore back to 7
And yes 7 rules :)
