Computer woes

Digeroo:
My computer crashed and it was not worth fixing.  So now got windows 10.  Not sure I like it much.  I run the mouse across the screen and the text shrinks it is sending me scatty. The control + no longer works to increase the size of the image.  Does anyone know how to stop the mouse movement continually changing the text size when it wants to but not when I want to.
Found internet explorer  :icon_cheers:
Have used various versions of windows but this is not pleasing me at all.  I suppose I will get used to it but currently I am getting very frustrated.
Certainly prefer Android to windows 10.  It seems to do what it wants to do and not what I want to do.
Got a hp there does not seem to be much choice these days.  I do not like the mouse pad might have to get a mouse.
Cannot seem to get rid of bing.  I hate bing.  Though a bit of googling showed me I am not the only one.  Managed to change the home page, after bringing back the Tools menu.  But as soon as I open a new tab bing is back.
I do hate arrogant developers who seem to think they know how I would like things to be.  I find the whole system very patronising. 
I have always had the task bar down the side and now it will not go there.
I think I am winning, managed to get windows as my home page and my homepage when it opens a tab. 
Bing has got to go. :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:

Same thing happened to me ,computer died new one came with Windows 10.

Installed Firefox and Thunderbird but still found 10 irritating and non intuitive. Took 10 mins to find out how to shut down.

Finally gave up, got husband to create a partition and installed Ubuntu 14.10. Problem solved but  windows still there in case I ever want it - not happened yet!

I tend to agree with you Digeroo, particularly as my motto is:

"If it is not broke don't fix it"

I have found that some of my long time much used software can not be used.

Others behave quite differently.

Trying to back up to my external drive is a nightmare!

Regarding your mouse problems:

Try start -> Settings-> Personalization and play around in there until you get something that suits you!

You can also try start -> Settings-> Ease of Acces ->Mouse

Best of luck!

Digeroo:
Many thanks for your replies. 
The text keeps resizing itself every few minutes so I am having a constant battle to get it back.
It is not difficult but it is very annoying.  Moving the mouse while in typing mode changes the text size.
So since I started this post I have had to readjust the text size four times already.
Whoops there it goes again.  Gone big this time.
Also Microsoft seems to want to take over my life.  So if I want to log into Hotmail it wants me to have a pin instead of my password.  So I cannot log on using the window 10 switchboard I have to use internet explorer.  So much for progress.
I have just spent the whole afternoon getting rid of what they think I want and getting back things I use.
Hopefully by the time I need the next laptop someone will have produced one with Android on it and I can ditch Microsoft. Though seems I can install it on a laptop.

Windows 10 comes with a new internet access called Microsoft Edge.  Having spend ages getting rid of it as much as possible, Mcafee virus software says it cannot protect me so wanted me to disable it.  So much for Windows 10.
Ripped off by comet, can buy office for half their price.  Do I want the lastest version?  No.
