Linda, I hope your new equipment works wonderfully for you, for a very long time. This Gateway PC is quiet and there was no need to install or activate Windows; it was all there and I turned on Narrator, which came right up, and was quite useful until I installed the screen reader. But I'm new to Windows 7 and although this PC is starting to look like the old one, there are still tricky things to learn.
