data centers seem to be probably more down their interest. Anticipating the end very soon, they are probably getting ready with communications for around the world. They going to have to since everything else will be eliminated.

I don't know what to do either... Plus my sound card and DVD drive don't work any longer.
Do I have to buy a new computer with Windows 10? I don't really want to. I like Windows 7.

Microsoft has a windows compatibility checker to see how compatible your computer is with windows 10 called the update adviser.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/Download/confirmation.aspx?id=20
I was hoping to buy a brand new laptop and install Windows 7 on it but there were no windows 7 drivers for it so I ended up learning and using windows 10. For the most part, its no longer at bad as it was when it first came out.
My old laptop didn't totally pass the compatibility test but I put windows 10 on it anyway. There were no updated video drivers available for it but it was able to use basic drivers for it. So sadly I couldn't play many of the games i had on windows 7 anymore because of the upgrade. My office 2003 didn't work perfectly with windows 10 either.
The benefits of getting a new computer with windows 10
- don't have to deal with windows Vista or windows 8, you get to skip 2 generations of not so great operating systems
- don't have to be concerned about driver compatibility
- You get to use JW Library on your computer

@Brenda You will likely have a much better experience buying new or refurbished vs upgrading old, especially if you're having to pay for that upgrade. If your current hardware still works well, I recommend backing up your files and changing the operating system to Linux Mint for free. You can even test it out before installing by running it from a cheap USB drive.
Just a general recommendation for people looking to buy a cheaper basic computer capable of running Windows 10 quite well: You can find a refurbished 2013 4th generation Intel i5 4570 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, Small Form Factor desktop including a Windows 10 Pro OEM license for about $150. This one is the best I could find in that price range on Amazon, it even comes with 2 Display Port outputs for dual monitors that can easily be adapted to HDMI.
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B074VF7XJX/ Potential issues, but it's the best value for the hardware performance and operating system. Far more powerful than an equivalently priced cheap laptop, and you don't want one of those if it's running the Windows 10 'S' variant, which only allows installing Windows Store software. Since it's small, you can set it up easily behind the TV in the living room or whatever and hook it up to that or whatever else people do. It has a 320W PSU and should be able to handle older smaller single slot PCIE-powered graphics cards. Just make sure that if you're buying refurbished from Amazon that it's from a very well rated seller and that it's shipped through Amazon Prime. Read the reviews. That way you shouldn't have much trouble if you end up having to return it. Amazon Prime has great return policies, and it's worth buying it for a single month just for that, the shipping speed and peace of mind.
For people who don't like Windows 10 - it usually comes down to the Start Menu. Simply install the Classic Start app via https://ninite.com/ and set it to Windows 7. Viola. https://betanews.com/2018/07/11/classic-start-classic-shell/
For the more tech savvy, there are also scripts to disable and uninstall preinstalled Windows 10 telemetry or apps like that stupid infuriating OneDrive that I often see taking people on older laptops to 100% disk and CPU usage. Grr. Grr I say.

Or install Linux Mint instead and experience the joy of computing. :3

We are hiring beautiful hall for entertainment and food for upcoming IC delegates hosted by our KH complex, we needed certain (not small) amount of money to cover the cost ...volunteer contributions came as for today 3 times more then needed.. What a generosity of brothers and sisters ..I am speechless.

RVT Remote Audition Team Use of our local Kingdom Hall has been approved by the Branch, we are happy to be supporting this exciting new initiative from the Teaching Committee of the Governing Body to assist the work of video production worldwide.

Nothing to do with local streaming etc... the RVT team will be responsible for video production that goes worldwide
How is this going to work and details, I don't know, (this is new infinitive from FDS) but the team will commence work ASAP 7 days a week. Looks like more videos will be produced in the future for our use.
(If you hear my voice and donut crunch sound during IC video presentation mid week meeting, you know who was a culprit! LOL )

Brendon, we don’t have details yet, but there arrangements are not in connection with our local meetings and streaming, what we know that video auditions will take place to be used worldwide. At this stage we need to wait patiently for more details to come in as the Branch is making preparations for this new arrangement to role out in our local KH

It's ok, we figured it out on the forums. According to the June 2019 organizational accomplishment video, there are "11 international video teams." If you watch the video you'll see a brief scene with the text "Regional Video Team - Central America Branch" overlaid next to the brother.
So it seems there may be regional teams around the world who work under the direction of the '11 international teams,' (or perhaps those two things are the same thing... that part was unclear).
Anyway, the segment concludes by saying "A storyboard artist is assigned to work closely with the assigned team and, specifically, the Video Director."

I envy you, you're literally brimming with ideas just like our beloved Turtle. Poor Turtle is exhausted with moderating the spiritually inexperienced ones.
Anyway, good job, Brother Greg. One time I wrongly addressed another brother. I called him 'Greg;'. The brother must be really peeved with me. Ya, looks like my addled brain's default name for brother is Greg. Good grief! I must be showing signs of dementia. Maybe I could do a brain reboot. Going to turn into a vegetable.

I do know that it's not a personal ability but Jehovah's spirit behind it.

I saw (Instagram) a funny welcoming sign from Phoenix Conv. saying "We love you more then air-conditioning" LOL ...love it
-
Cool.....😉

Brrr. I was sitting right below the air conditioner at the hall last night. In the last row as usual. Everyone around me was feeling the chill. Me, with my hot flushes, was covering myself with a big shawl. Ten minutes before the end of the meeting did I realise that I should have adjusted the thermostat on the wall behind me. Is it ok for sisters to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner? I notice a few brazen ones like me like to take matters into their own hands. We're really short of attendants at our congregation that comprises mostly of sisters.

Had a conversation with a Muslim cleric in Toronto, during Middle East Festival, he said: Bible is invalid as it says 4 corners of the earth ..so is earth square....?
I told him “ I am DEAD tired, but still talking to you ...Am I dead? “ We both laughed ... he got the point. Later explained more that we do not take every expression literally.
