I think once you have used an Apple you wouldn't want to go back to a M/S.
Our old one must be eight or nine years old now and it never went wrong and no hassles and is still working ok now and only bought the new one because of the better technology, better screen and better updates.   
Its different to our old one and took a bit of time to get used to it but getting there as with reducing the size of photo's.

I have MS based computer, and wife has an Apple. I can't make heads or tails of hers, and can't even figure out how to get on the internet with it. If it's already on the internet I can't figure out how to navigate or search. 
I gave up on it.

Same as my experience.

I have been a Mac guy since before they were even made public.  I was training Apple dealer sales people on the Mac two weeks before the official announcement in 1984.  I worked t several Apple dealers and eventually ended up in a state agency where I am now in the server operations group supporting 500+ Windows servers.  We use Windows 10 as our workstations.  It is no better than Windows XP or Windows 7 except for more features.  It seems every quarter Microsoft release a new Windows 10 version which breaks many of the tools I use to manage servers until I get them upgraded.   When not a work, I use an older Mac to access the internet and mail.  I am no fan of the Apple mail client, but it works.  I use Yahoo mail for most stuff.  A browser is a browser whether Windows or Mac.  We have Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer at work.  Chrome is by far the most compatible.  Edge it totally not ready for prime time.  I use Firefox mostly on the Mac.  I used to consider myself a computer hobbyist, but lost interest when I began working in the field.  I am ready to retire and will not miss Windows at all. Windows has its place, but Microsoft can't seem to figure out if it is a business operating system or a consumer one.

No one I know uses Edge, nor did I use Explorer. Use Chrome for routine browsing and email and newspapers, Google Search, etc. -- but refuse to use any other Google systems because of their cumbersome, "guilty until proven otherwise" protocol for pass words.

Frank,

Agree that Microsoft Office Picture Manager is about as easy as it gets.
Picture Manager wasn't part of the actual MS operating system, but was part of the Tools package that you could choose to install when you installed the separate MS Office program files.

I haven't checked the older Office version CD to see if Picture Manager could be loaded from it separately onto the MS 10 OS, but I remember that you used to be able to do so with some program files onto computers that were running some of the older earlier OS's.

Paint will also do pixels. 640 x 480 is about right.
