Both of my windows computers are still with the guy who is working on them. He had to order a part for one. Friend was going over there today to check on them though. I hope it is ready, because I am going to need it for a focus group tomorrow otherwise I won't be able to do it as they don't accept chromebooks. The library won't let you put zoom on their main computers only chromebooks which does me no good. I don't get it though if your device passes a tech check why wouldn't they let you use one? Just being stinky..I would just use it, if I thought they wouldn't find out..but they may be able to tell. sigh!

@LadyDuck They said it doesn't run well on it. I think they are full of it personally. If I had had more notice, I could have borrowed one. Oh well, It looks like I have something else today, that I had forgotten about. I am sure it doesn't pay as much though.

The chromebook has its own system but if it can run zoom, why would they bother "banning" it? Hopefully it'll be ready by the time you need it, or maybe someone has a working one you can borrow in the meanwhile.

Nope, it isn't going to work out. I asked for a special exception no go. The guy said he will probably have the computer ready next week. He better. Next time I am not giving it to him to work on.

I don’t know much about computers, but is there a reason why the focus group doesn’t accept Chromebooks?

I think they said it doesn't run well on them. I don't see why..My CB is plenty fast, and runs zoom fine.

The most disliked thing about the new Windows is the large memory usage and also device compatibility. If the device does not match the Windows criteria then Windows cannot continue.
