I also plan to get a specially-built laptop (also running Windows 7) from the same computer store/shop when the Alaska Permanent Fund dividends are issued to us in October, to serve as a backup for this computer, so that if one fails I'll have one to use while the other one is being repaired.

Not to go OT on your post, but I know money is tight for you. Windows 7 is a great OS. I use it myself still. But, it won't be supported my Microsoft after January 2020. That means no more security updates leaving you vulnerable when on the internet. You may want to consider getting Win 10 on the laptop. The learning curve isn't nearly as bad as Win 8 was when it came out.
