Nemer, thanks for your thoughts. At least some of my problems I now realise were due to me not being aware (I was never told, and did not find out accidentally by "playing around"!) that the main pad on the keyboard was the mechanism by which one could click on something. I was therefore trying to learn and run W10 wholly by way of touching the screen with the wand I bought, since that was what the salesmen had demonstrated, and that was just not possible.

Salesmen simply cannot conceive how little even an intelligent customer can know, when they come face to face with something really new and complex for the first time. It seems to me that a sensible supplier would go out of its way to offer training and familiarisation sessions (at a charge, of course) to people facing a technological or behavioural jump, and about to spend significant money with them. At the very least, complete manuals (digital is fine) for both hardware and software should be available for purchase at the point of sale of the new box.

Regards, Tony.

Know what you mean. Touching other people's computer screens was very bad office etiquette for many years even before touch-screen and deliberately touching a screen doesn't come naturally for people who have been conditioned not to. <g>
fingerprints on the screen left me cold .... I have a mental block with smudges on any screen .... tv, monitor, cell phone, microwaves, etc ..... drives me crazy ....lol
