Answer 31

Okay, does Win7 still have a "start-run" option?

IOW, is there a "start" button in the lower left of your screen?

And if yes, then is there a "run" option when you click it?

Every version of windows has had a calculator included as part of its OS, and is usually found by typing "calc" into the run window.
