Is it a Windows 10 problem or new laptop?

There have been multiple problems, possibly the simplest being this #1: An unexpected, unasked-for Restart. This happens 1-2 times per week. All I use the machine for is mainly DU and less than a dozen other websites and g-mail. I can be on a website when the screen goes black and the Restart gets itself going. Different from my own seldom Restarts, these, after my log-in return to the website I was at.

#2 - Windows 10? I almost never can Copy and Paste images/pictures from the web into DU or anywhere else. With the old laptop that was upgraded to Windows 10, there were encrypted images that couldn't be reproduced, but the rest of them could be. Now it's almost all that can't be done, nor to e-mail.

#3 - Two old programs from the old machine are installed by CD into the new one: Microsoft Works, with Word Processor. This was the only thing I used for documents. Now, I can't Paste text from web. Plus, the Ms Word Processor open document closes out and disappears when Paste is attempted. I've had to resort to Pasting into a new/Compose g-mail blank to prepare text to post into DU. g-mail doesn't seem to have a shortcut to keep open, so I have to go back and forth to the target website, Copy, then open g-mail again to Paste.
