Thanks for that idea Paul -- as you said that pasting is often not allowed -- I will try Ctr + v . I am not very good at remembering to use shortcuts !

Your reply was a bit over my head but taken in the good spirit that you sent it .
I have been trying out a Lenovo 2in1 while they still have a 500 Gb HDD that can be changed for a SSD that I have . Almost all the 11 inch low end laptops are now using [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][/size]32 GB eMMC which I understand are soldered onto the Motherboard and not easily upgraded . [/color][/size][size=1em]

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][/size]I was interested to see what Win 8 was like before upgrading to Win 10 while it was free . I found Win 8 difficult to get on with . Win 10 is better but I will be using Lite as my everyday OS. as I prefer using menus rather than icons and how quietly it does its job . My only problem I have is how often the only way to change something thats wrong is needing to use the command line . [/color]
