  Thanks for your reply, some very good advice which has given me some ideas, was thinking of combining this with either upgrades for his current computer or maybe a new system, hopefully I can get around his stubborn side, with is old phone I took it and replaced with a new one so he had no choice…lol…maybe is time to do something similar with his computer XD

  His current computer is HP AIO, has Intel Pentium J3710 cpu, 4Gb of DDR3L-1600 ram and 1Tb eco/green Toshiba hdd, so became really sluggish with Windows, I got a bit more out of it recently but still slow, had to rip out Edge browser files/folders as it was pegging the hdd to 100%…gah…I hate Windows, he doesn’t use Edge or Outlook, always Firefox and Thunderbird, should make moving to Linux easier through :o)

  Hi, I hope you don’t mind me asking how you achieved this, my father is 79 and has Parkinsons with hearing problems, he’s deaf in one ear and partially in other ear, so he has personality issues, really can be stubborn and difficult to deal with, been having trouble getting him away from Microsoft products like Windows or Office, any ideas or advice be really helpful and appreciated, ty :o)
