I finally saw the bill. From the moment she started downloading Windows 10 to the moment I told her to shut the internet off, she used 20 gigs. That's ridiculous. And there is only one computer in the house. No other devices use internet.

So, are you going to continue supporting Microsoft by installing Windows 7, or are you going to put your mom on an easy linux distro like ElementaryOS [0] or Kubuntu? [1]

I'd like to switch but she uses Quicken and a few things that won't switch over.
