So here’s the deal. I got a really nice desktop computer ... about 8 or 9 years ago. It’s an HPZ200 workstation with an i7 processor. If I recall correctly, it has 10 gigs of ram and I really under-bought on hard drive space at 300 gigs. Now, to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know what any of that means. I’m not a computer guy at all.

I’ve barely used this thing in the last few years, but now that my school laptop is getting breaky on me, so I figure I better kick-start it so I have a backup machine ready to go.

As you’ve probably gathered, it has Windows 7 Professional. I never could be bothered to upgrade to Windows 10 back when you could do that for free. I got the machine started for the first time in almost a year, and have done a bunch of updates since then. Now it is prompting me to install Microsoft Edge.

So, computer folks of Oppo, what the hell is that? And should I go ahead and install it?

Or should I upgrade to Windows 10? If so, how do I go about doing that? Assume I know nothing, because I know nothing.

Thanks!
