well, now you've hit the crux of the matter.... I'm not tech-able at all, and if it isn't a plug&play type setup.... i get lost & confused ( I learned programming when they were in clean-rooms, and had less memory than my cell-phone. too much to un-learn, i guess)
I wouldn't know the first thing about what drivers need to be updated, where to find them, how to install them,,, etc..... and one of my computer techs moved 150 miles away, and the other got married, and no longer takes outside clients.... best buy/Geek Squad aint cheap, and they're an hours drive away.
I'm looking for a new tech, and I'll let HIm / HER tackle installing 10 and doing all the updates.
Thanks for the advice and assistance everyone.

we no longer HAVE the cracked versions..... and when I bought the 1.8.7 version, I (mistakenly) thought we'd be able to install and play it on all three computers in the house for just the one license ( I have all kinds of games and software that this is possible, but not with this one apparently).

My sister gave the kids KindleFires' recently, and for a birthday, bought MCPE for each of them.

I did upgrade to Windows10 for all of 30 minutes. Half of my software wouldn't work, and I couldn't control ANYTHING (If I'd wanted tablet controls for my computer... I'd have bought a tablet! ) Un-installed win10, and I'm still trying to get my computer restored back to "Normal Working Order", as this is used for business as well as after-hours pleasure.

Guess I'll have to give it another re-think.
Ah well, such is life. Guess I'm spending another $$$$ for additional licenses.

PE is affordable, and easily put onto a tablet, rather than a tiny-screened phone, and just as portable.

I've got a 10" KindleFire that my youngest likes to play on more than on a PC.
(it's got 32gig memory, and the newest ones are 64gig)
I've also got a windows tablet that has 64g onboard, and SDchip for another 64g.
I don't think memory is the issue anymore.

Now if I can just figure out how to link them together so they can play together, I'll have it made.

I guess we need to form a "Lets Build Pern" club??

I'm trying to take the best of all the UK and EU castles (which Anne confirmed she used as models), the concept drawings from her books, and so forth to design the "Ideal" Major Hold, add a Weyr, and build it one someone's concepts of the Pern Maps.

I'm just a beginner, but it gives me definite goals.

Step One: find a Pern fan who can copy the 2-D maps into MC
Step Two: find someone who can build the terrain as pictured on the images.
Step Three: determine scale, and build a world.
Step Four: figure out how to bring in the dragons without every other MC player trying to kill them.......)

Sorry for the delay in responding - Life Happens!.

WhiteRawr- No, I was meaning 3-4-5 laptops out in the play-room/garage with kids on cushions, munchies at the ready. No internet needed. A Totally closed system.

(I've allowed what should have been a "secure access" and a visitor ended up cracking thru it, and landing my only computer on several porn lists. Had to wipe the hard drive, change my email, and get a new ISP. NOT a pleasant experience, and one I have no wish to even remotely come close to repeating. Therefore, friends are welcome to visit, they can NOT use our internet for any reason at any time.)

Yes, at present, we're using the LAN settings for the game and my desktop for the base/host. The LAN setup is working for now, and as we grow in the game, we'll be better able to judge exactly what it is we DO need to get set up.

Like I said earlier, eventually, I want to get a dedicated "Game Computer" for all their games, and probably will install some kind of server setup after I've learned what is which, and the best for our situation. Not to mention, best graphics/audio setup for what they (and hubby) like to play.

Thank you All for the warm welcome.

WhiteRawr- I guess I mis-spoke.... it won't be a "regular server". We've already played (the three of us) on my LAN using my personal desktop as the root/base for the game.
Ultimate goal is for them to be able to play with a few friends on a dedicated computer NOT ON THE INTERNET.

No offense, and I don't know where you live, but if you can rent a full server for only $3.00 USD a month, I'd like to sign up.... here just buying time on someone else's server is sold per hour clock time, [when you sign in till when you sign off] and truthfully, would end up more than my car payment each month.

When you turn loose 4 or more teenagers with their own MC/game server.... they'd be on for days (literally), and only come up/out for food&drinks, and sleep only when they can't keep their eyes open anymore. I know alot of Old School Gamers who are the same way when they are "On Campaign."

If I let them have Internet Connect.... they'd be on every minute they weren't doing school-work or sleeping.... Not happening if I can find a better way.... (sorry guys, there ARE other things in life than gaming and I don't have the bandwidth to support an Internet connect for gaming anyway. DSL in the sticks is little better than dial-up.

Have a Great Sunday..

I found it while looking for "How-to's" & "What are they"s about the game... what's a resource pack/ skins/ textures, etc., and how do you use it.
Obviously I'm a total newbie.
