I've looked at the 32 bit Firefox and decided to not install it. She really doesn't need to access the internet from that box, she's got at least 3 other devices to use. And if it were to access the internet, security would suck.
Synology allowing SMB1 is a big plus. I wouldn't have to enable it on each Win10 system, keeping the SMB2 protocol security intact on them.
My plan is to just plug the NAS into our router, which should then (hopefully) make it accessible to others on our LAN. No plan or need to give it access to the internet, we won't be accessing the files while off site. That is, unless it'll automatically be able to access the internet by simply plugging it into the router. If that's the case, I'd think there would be someway to shut the access off. I can chase that down later.
Yep, the Win98 hardware is getting old, most of it, if not all, is over 20 years old*. That's another reason I'd like to get the info and a system backup onto a server. I could transfer the data to newer drives, but that would be a headache. All the drive bays are full, as well as all the drive ports. There would be a lot of connecting/disconnecting of drives along with the copying. My head hurts just thinking about it.
*I didn't use anything more than what I put into my customers' systems. Just tried to pick decent parts from decent manufacturers, nothing hi-end.
