Thank you to Torbjörn and Sketch. I tried installing 7.1 on my new laptop and when I started X I'm getting a fatal error. I think I'm trying to run old software on new hardware. Kinda like taking 1 step forward and 2 back. I'm going to download Fedora and start from there. Thanks for helping to control the bleeding. My head feels better now.
