   After experimenting with the result,I found it wouldn't connect with my   
   printer.   
   I will keep Windows 10 for when I need it.   
   I seem to be mostly using LibreOffice writer anyway.   
      
   I also attemoted to do without XP.   
   I only use it occasionally, mostly to drive my hopper-fed scanner.
