I just drove 5 hours one way to help Mon get her broken computer working again. I wanted to set up Remote Desk Top so I can fix the problems in less than a 10 hour drive 2 day trip.
But: RDT does not work on Win10-home. It costs $99 to upgrade. Must upgrade both computers. ($198)
There are sever "down load free" programs that might work but they also might not work and we all know they are not free. One charges $10/month/computer. "Free"
What should I do. There is one computer repair person in her small town. $50/hour and he is much of the problem. Mom is 90 which is the other half of the problem.
Problem(s):
Every time Windows updates it looks different and she panics.
She has lost the Start Button. She has lost the Tool Bar. She has moved the tool Bar from the bottom to the left. She some times looses all the icons, even lost the desk top.
I did not know there are several modes for the explorer. (different look) I watched her jump from one look to another and I don't know how she did it.
I just put "Word" and "Mail" in the startup so she will not have to remember how to start them.
Willing to listen to any advice. Thanks RonS.
