Thanks for the replies. In the end I decided to stick with Windows because that is all I have ever used. The old computer was a 15" HP. I replaced it with just about the same thing. Costco had a sale going on. The one I bought has an Intel i7 processor, 32 Gb RAM, and 1.0 Tb SSD drive. The Macbook Air had 8Gb RAM and 512 Gb SSD and was $400 more than the HP. I have been using HP for many years and this is the first hinge I ever had go bad on me. Hopefully I made the right decision.

I did find that Windows 11 talks to my new Nook GL4+ a lot better than Windows 10 did. However, Calibre cannot access it any better. I can still copy books to it using Windows file explorer, so I am OK with that. My biggest complaint is that B&N discontinued the Nook for Windows app, so I can no longer liberate my Nook books. That's about what I expect from them. So I will go back to buying from Kobo and/or Amazon.

All in all, I am back up and running with a new computer and everything seems to be working fine. I even got ADE 2.0 running in Windows 11, so I am happy.
