Okay, he is 100 years old and this was designed for 20 somethings and their children. But I need a new computer and I'm afraid to buy one. My husband has it on a tablet and he likes the finger swipe - but hates the "8"
I don't have a touch screen and it works fine. If your FIL only wants to do a few things with it that should lessen your learning curve time. Plus you have lots of people on this thread you can PM if you need help. Of course, it might be a little like the somewhat blind leading the blind. Wow, if your FIL is 100 and is still using a computer that is such a blessing.
