RE: Our Public schools now show the fruit of liberal policies, carried to the ultimate extrame!
Ubuntu is on Ebay. It is a free OS, but it will cost a little for the copy . Usually about $5. I prefer a USB which is usually a little more.
Ubuntu will automatically make a dual boot on your computer leaving your Windows intact. When you start your computer, it will allow you to choose Ubuntu or the old Windows system. If you ignore the dual boot, you will come up in Ubuntu after it times out.
But she will loose nothing on Windows. You can boot Ubuntu, directly from the media without installing anything also, if you want to try it out first.

Sir smithlabs! this is great information. But to be clear, she has to buy a copy, preferably from ebay for the best deal, because it is not totally free? The cost of installing the upgrade to Windows 10 is $139!
You can download for free from their website! The cost from ebay is only the copy cost. Should be about $5....
:)>Well then if you can download it free, why would you want to pay for it? Do all Okies think that way?
It is a significant program, it will take 6 hours to several days depending on your internet speed....
:)>You mean it takes that long if you download it online but not if you buy it?
Yes, it is a Very Large Program, that is why I buy a copy. It installs a LOT faster....
:)>On their site they say it's 25GB, does that sound about right? I reckon I'll order it then sir smithlabs. Thanks for the information. I knew someday you would come in handy!
Oh, how long to download it with the usb?
Installing it depends on your computer speed, but it is comparible to Windows on the install time. You have the option of running from the usb drive, without insralling anything ; just to try it out.
