All three have partitioned hard drives, the 2008 on Windows 7, the 2018 and 2020 on Windows 10. I have a cable modem, with a RAX 75 Netgear wireless router.

What is the problem? It must be serious when the Windows 10 download speeds aren't even 1/100th the download speeds on the identical equipment under the Apple OS. Why would the new Edge cut internet download speeds in half?
