The old Thinkpad keyboards are still the second best thing here. Using an
X200s while traveling and it is really good. But at home I have a docking
station and a full sized keyboard and mouse connected to it. Best of both
worlds. I have no use for touch. If it weren't for the dreaded Intel graphics
chips with its sucky drivers it would be heaven.
Yes to get a free W10 license you need to have W7 loaded.
I am still running XP on a PC with special hardware and regularly test to see
that SeaMonkey 2.49.1 still works fine but for audio/video I would just pass.

would drive me nuts no matter how cheap. W10 may still be free from MS, but
only if you do the download using W7 or higher. I don't recall there ever
being any sort of free download or upgrade for XP, and if there was I imagine
it's long gone. Apart from the pesky cost, the problem with upgrading the
hardware and going to W10 is that there are many unknowns. Apart from the fact
that I know XP inside out and, like a lot of others have said, find the GUI
and general way it runs very much to my liking, I suspect that a huge number
of programmes I currently use may not run properly on W10, if they will run at
all, and I would find that out the hard way. I do know what you refer to with
the POS 2009 hack, but I think that would be fraught with all sorts of
possible complications, and as you say it's on the way out, anyway.
