90% of my grandparents "workload" is a web browser and news and such, the other 10% is Rosetta Stone. I would've put some simple linux distro so they can't break the damn system anymore, but that would mean no Rosetta Stone, Word (Very picky, libre won't work [change is no good[, and Kasparov ChessMate.

 

Also she browses the web via the history drop-down menu, doesn't know anything else.

 

Malware, those anti virus viruses, and all that crap; and apparently every time i format the PC and get it back to factory settings, it gets infected again, fast; which results in me doing a bad "cleanup".

 

I officially gave up a few days ago on their machines, and said go to a fucking store or ask somebody else, so when you break it again, you can point the finger at them for doing a "bad job".

 

 

Maybe if I could make a ideal windows 7 ultimate image with everything they use, things would go easier [break pc, restore the image I have, and let the cycle repeat]; but making the image would take forever.

My 80 year old grandmother uses an iPhone.

When my grandmother was alive she literally played with her Ipad all day and loved it.  For like two years she just learned and did stuff on that ipad.  If there's one thing Apple is good at it, it's making technology easy to understand and accessible.  My grandfather on the other hand didn't even own a phone.  It was hard to keep him from stirring his coffee without a pen.(Yes he used a pen to stir his coffee instead of a spoon.  He also fed any dinner to the dog, grabbed some vodka and chocolate chip cookies and went off to bed.) xP

Dell Optiplex 320. He's actually got some decent software (CCleaner, Malwarebytes, etc.) that my uncle presumably loaded up. I think he has used it once this year and he refuses to get something newer because he says his computer is fine.

A HP Windows 8 Laptop. Not sure about the model number. Old People + Windows 8 does not match.

Nothing, they're dead and computers tool up entire rooms when they were alive.

One grandma running an old Windows Vista machine, another runs Windows 7 on a generic HP computer. My mom is much more hip though, rocking the Thinkpad + Arch Linux combo on one machine and Windows 7 on another.

This.  Computers were not a thing when my grandparents were around.
