my suggestion is go to microsoft.com and download the windows 10 operating system. you most likely will have to pay because the first year free downloading is done. but you can open the microsoft chat on their microsoft.com website they will be able to answer any questions you may have.
another avenue you can go to solve this problem is go to any walmart, best buy, target and purchase a new computer or laptop that already has windows 10 on it. they run anywhere between 180.00 to 800.00 depending on which brand and size you get.
other than that theres nothing you can do because your operating system is too outdated and no longer supported (no longer gets patches and other needed updates to keep computers, laptops.... running correctly)
getting windows 10 operating system stopped all my computer glitches like black roaming squares, lag time and so on.

Any OS, if installed long enough without cleanups, can suffer from downloaded junk/viruses etc - however Win7 is still under extended support by Microsoft (provided servicepack 1 is installed) and will be until 2020 - so there is really no need to immediately upgrade to Win10 from that viewpoint.
FWIW, the PC forums should still work fine on WinXP (though servicepack 3 is recommended). Win2K
won't work, due to encryption protocol issues that you'll run into on sites that use Cloudfront datacenters (but Win2k
really is a dinosaur now...)
