self-imposed limits? not really. 'norton system works' is installed
and current, including 'nis'. tho original owner did not know how to
lock down oos with 'nis'. it is a firewall in it's own rights.

i doubt that anything is 'old' or 'broken' being that latest service
pack updates were installed. therefore it should tend to be win7.1.
thankfully it is not win8.

to give you a hint and why it is to remain win7 for awhile, think
about following and understand that discussion of such is not
something to be done in an "open list".

   Pooh, say hello to Tigger, Piglet and Owl for me.
   Enjoy what you have waiting for you at home when you
   Return to the Hundred Acre Wood in Ashdown Forest.

in closing, what was hiding in the back of the brain finally over
whelmed the 'chemo brain' and came forward to front. "syslinux".
i have used it a few times in past, but i did not recall it until
a few hours ago. :-)

in closing, thanks for your replies.
