We really didn't want to upgrade from 7 here, but found out Verizon was shutting down our current Jetpack (Only way to get internet for us) and the new one would not work with Mom's computer as it had a slightly older wireless card. Also, the monitor on my HP laptop was getting flaky and for some reason the computer was suddenly like a furnace all the time. You could cook with the air coming out the cooling vents!

Older computers start running hot when the CPU has to use hundreds of old instructions to "make up" for those high-level languages that are geared toward new CPUs that have new instruction sets which do the job in less cycles. Fucking java shit and overbloated APIs.

That explains a few things for sure. Got to the point where I had to be careful on certain sites or it would shut down from getting too hot, yet airflow was fine.
