 :)Ideas please. I’ve come to the conclusion today that our computer which has has windows 10 and I’ve been running a 2009version of Family TreeMaker. But it’s really slow,so a change is needed,but I’m really not sure where to go.

Hi

Is it a new machine?

It isn't very often that a Win10 machine is complained about being "slow".

Or is it an old(er) one which has Win10 as a more recent update/overwrite?


Could it be downloading one of the recent major Win10 updates?
