Update to my Samsung NP 530

I thought I would give an update to my Samsung NP530.  About 3 and a half years ago I wrote about how Long Rock bought me a laptop. 
I still have Windows 7 on this because I was going to update to Windows 8 after the "kinks" were worked out of it, and then Windows 10 crept up on me. I have many friends that downloaded Windows 10 when they have had to replace their laptops, and in doing so, replaced with a Mac Pro. So, here I am with my trusted little laptop that is now 5 years old. No doubt, it's slow. I can't replace the battery, which needs a new one. The reason being is because this is an older laptop and so I will not be able to find one that is to this laptop's specifications. 
The screen is still great and the graphics are still really awesome, for the age of the laptop. (If you recall, when Long Rock bought this, graphics on this laptop was state of the art, because I wanted to be able to have something to play my games on it, and it still delivers.) Again, please keep in mind that this laptop is 5 years old. 
So, I am still running on Windows 7, possibly Windows 8, refuse to run on Windows 10, and if pressed, I will buy me a laptop that is an Apple to avoid Windows 10. Then I will download a couple of Windows programs. That is the best for me, but, there are others who might have a better option. Of course, I am not a techie, and so this option would would the best for me.  Another thing I did, being that this laptop was a new one from Turkey, and was a great deal, however,  I would like to say that I bought an American Keyboard, and change the keyboard to English. I think if I were to do it again, I would prefer to get a keyboard that lays over the original and not have lots of stickers, have it cover the original Keyboard. Of course, I will not have to worry about it when I replace this one. I kind of wish that the laptops don't run down, and get slower. I quite like this one, and I don't want to keep changing every so many years. 
So, for the time being, I have what I need, and I like what I have.
