By the time DH got home last night, I was pretty much finished getting the new computer set up and functional. I'm still stumbling around Win 10, it's not built into my fingertips yet, but the data is moved and the programs have also seemed to move well. It's not my desktop, it's a laptop, but it's a fun one and after a bit more massaging, it'll be just about perfect.

I'm still very undecided about what to name my new laptop. It's being shy, and hasn't shown its personality to me yet, but I'm sure it won't be too much longer. |
My "Lord of the Rings Online" game will need some more tweaking before I can easily play it on the laptop. but DH and I worked on it in tandem last night and got some of the tweaks completed. That will probably take a bit longer, especially because I play it on my laptop as well as my desktop and the two settings have to be identical for it to appear on-screen properly. That's not happening right now, so I'll have to figure out a work-around. I suspect, for this game, I'll have to change my pixels from the 3840 x 2160 down to 1920 x 1080. If I can do that, it will look great on both computers and I won't have the issues I was having with the higher resolution.
So the actual migration might be over, but the murmuration of linking my programs between two different computers still needs a bit of work. That wonderful synchronicity that can exist when working in two different locations needs a bit more tweaking. I'll try to get that resolved, as well as understand the laptop and Windows 10 a bit better, at the shop today.

Windows 10 might be a learning curve, but the wallpapers they have for it are stunning. I have been enjoying flipping through those, although I'll end up loading my own wallpapers down the line. |
So thanks all, for your patience during this long period of indecision and jumping into the dark pond. I think I made all the right decisions, and now I have to find a way to live with the result. Moving forward - LOL. Meanwhile, as we expect another snow of 2-3 inches today/tonight, I'm out of here. Have a wonderful weekend and please, be kind, stay safe, and wear your mask. I'll be back on Monday morning.
