    Laptop with windows 7 too old for windows 10


    Hello,I would like to give my laptop to a friend. It has windows 7. I cannot go online anymore because no browser supports windows 7, and Internet Explorer keeps crashing. I would like to install Norton Antivirus on it, but I would need to install windows 8 since windows 10 won't work.I once purchased windows 8 in the past, but I cannot find my key. I cannot seem to find anyway to contact Microsoft Support to see if they can find my key with my personal information. Any help ? Or is my laptop going to recycling ?Thank you

    :)
     

  2. Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

    All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

    As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

    im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed

    Windows 7 vs 8.1 for SandyBridge i3 laptop

    7 is old, 8.1 I can't stand unless you have a touch screen. If you paid for 10 (because it came with it) then I would use it. Anything else is a step backwards. Trust me you will get use to it. Windows 10 all day
