[ubuntu] Want to revert back to 14.04 from 16.04..................

After several attempts to install 16.04 from CD and whilst a "version" runs, I have no printer connect, unable to get my files, cannot load Adobe ad infinitum.

I run a 32 bit Packard Bell
Memory 2 GiB

Either how can I resolve or maybe ideally (?) can I rever t back to the safety of 14.04

Finally, a throw away comment. Is it perhaps time to dump my current machine and upgrade?

Code:
