You don't need to register as it is a free drop-in session

This is a Drop-in session. No 'registration' required ...(BUT! Registering with Meetup will give you reminders and the ability to schedule this on your calendar.)

Dope, would pop by if I was back home. I'll tell my younger siblings, and they can drag my mum along. When I was back in October I switched her over to Mint, as really all she does is word processing, solitaire and YouTube. Her desktop I built for her in 2008 wasn't coping with almost 20 years of daily usage of windows 10 and a desktop organised by an older person (literally everything saved to the desktop, it gave me an anxiety attack)

Edit: just wanted to point out that obviously it wasn't win10 the whole time. She had 7 initially, but clicked the "upgrade now" button every time
