    Newbie buying Dell desktop some basic questions


    I am an 88 year old Win 7 Pro desktop user. Now purchasing a Dell Model i3670-5575BLK-PUS (9th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-9400 Processor 2.9GHz). Questions:

    1.Wondering if there is a newbie instruction guide for those of us moving from a Win7 pc to Win 10 Home pc. If so can someone direct me to its location or assist me? Trying to make the transformation as trouble free and smooth as possible.
    2. Not sure if the pc comes with the latest security updates and if not is there any caveats or precautions I should be aware of. I have seen comments about issues with one of the recent updates- Windows 10 version 1903.

    Will be climbing a steep learning curve with an old body and mind and will appreciate all the help I can get.

    Thanks Frank

    :)

    Newbie, looking for new graphics card.

    I am currently having problems with my 4870s noise.
    In my honest opinion, its just too damn loud.

    Getting to the point, i am looking for a new video card that is
    • Quiet/silent
    • Decent power
    • around 120 dollars or less.
    • Dual dvi outputs for 2 monitors
    • Easy/Low maintenance
    • Not a puzzle to install
    Im going to buy a new video card very soon, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Newbie to Linux!

    So the last time I touched Linux was years ago, and I wrecked my old desktop in doing so.

    SO! I'd like to get back into to but I have no clue which version is easy for newbies to use. The only things I'm really needing is

    Able to run .exe files.

    Easy to use!

    Any suggestions?
