I should have put column there instead of 'pane'.               HG> I tried to find "system", "about" and "version" without results.        HG> Next day I clicked the icon named 'system' on the splash screen,        HG> and there I found 'about' at the end of the list.              Great!               HG> It showed the version to be: 1607, ie. the update.

You        HG> may have done an upgrade after that, to have it show 1533.              Yes, I remember now. It was 1511. Thanks.               HG> I then started up the WiFi, and was shown that Windows had an        HG> upgrade. It didn't ask me if it should apply it, but started        HG> downloading that immeadetely, and applied it at once.              I'll look into that.               HG> After that, when clicking Start > and Settings >, I do now get what        HG> I would call a 'window' (pane) on the left, that now makes me more        HG> confused, than the previous 'splash screen', with the various        HG> icons.                HG> OTOH, Facebook seems to work on that machine, despite the fact that        HG> I have never used, nor logged in to FB before with it.

I       haven't logged into it in a few years -- probably 4.
