We currently have a computer that operates on Windows and Apple iPad. So they aren't always compatible. The iPad travels with us, so our next computer will be Apple. That way things can transfer back and forth (like photos) and also, Apple has fewer security concerns. Try to compare several computers online and then go to the brick and mortar stores to check out the ones that meet your needs. I agree with Rebas's quilts about Windows 10. Not many folks out there like it.
