get tech help from him. I do know that you can call Newegg's customer service and get some help there.

I have several layers of anti-virus and encryption on it because Microsoft will no longer support it, and I will hang on to my Win 7 computer for as long as I can. Linux, hopefully, will be more widely used in the future but for now, all we have is scattered support.
