    I need guidance purchasing a new laptop...


    I need to purchase a new or used laptop with Windows 10 installed.

    I think I want to buy a laptop that had Windows 10 Professional initially installed rather than upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7.

    I really do not have any "extra" money... How much computer (laptop) do I need to buy?

    Thanks!



    Here is a description of my max usage at any one given time:
    • MS Word - 2 or 3 small-to-moderate size documents
    • MS Excel - 2 or 3 small-to-moderate size workbooks
    • MS Outlook - 3 GB .pst file
    • Mathematica 10 (Light usage)
    • Chrome - 8 open Websites
    • MS Media Player
    • Paintshop Pro - 10 Large files
    • NordVPN
    • Kaspersky AV
    • Teamviewer
    • Dragon Naturally Speaking Individual Professional 14

    I do not:
    • Game
    • Watch or edit HD Videos
    • Host websites, servers or FTP sites

    :)

    Voice guidance option missing

    After you've got the list of directions, tap a step in the directions list to get the voice guidance. It's not a "real" turn-by-turn where it will automatically tell you when to turn, you have to tap a direction step.

    As a fellow Canuck, I recommend you leave all regional options on "English (Canada)" except Browser & search Language. Leave that one on "English (United States)" to get Local Scout.
