I'm fine with Windows 10 but I was in love with XP.  Shame we can't go back in time.
Always move forward. Never look back.

It's been a while since I used XP as I upgraded to Windows 7 early for free (I was a beta tester).

Hopefully I have Windows 10 tweaked to my liking. Not missing any software lately.  |^|

Most of my clients have systems that are running XP.  Some have software that won't run on newer Windoze and others have networks that newer Windoze can not communicate with.

Can you see it in the control panel? It could be driver issue and Windows 10 deleted the driver during an update. You may need to reinstall it.

That's what I had before I got the HP wireless. Had it forever. I think it may be in the garage.  The HP wireless lasted 13 months. It was cheaper to buy a new printer (the canon) than fix it. It would print but wouldn't scan or copy.
