Suma, [PS added] don't be afraid of Windows 8. With the addition of a small program called Start8 it can be made to look like older Windows versions. I did that with the 2 PCs I've gotten lately. That said, I enjoy learning new stuff, but still seldom use Windows 8 Metro [the screen with the tiles]. The Staples home setup sounds good. Bestbuy Geek Squad support is an alternative - no matter where you buy the PC [I bought my 2 at Bestbuy] tinyurl.com After the initial setup it's $10 a month for help as needed. I also like to be prepared and that's why I replaced my Windows XP PC before it failed. I'll give it to someone to use for a 6 year old's games. Maybe you can get a new PC before the Vista machine fails and learn the new operating system slowly. Or, get one with Windows 7 which looks like Vista. PS: you said you're considering a google chrome - that's a chrome book? Since that is a laptop, you must be ok with the small screen. If you get one of those or a Windows laptop it has the advantage you can easily bring it to a technician, saving the fee for a house call
