HP Officejet 4500
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I'm 78 yrs old and not very computer savvy, however I know enough to do my simple everyday stuff.  I have Windows 8.1 64 bit and an HP Officejet 4500. I've loved this printer since I bought it and don't want (& can't afford) to purchase another model. I am also satisfied with Windows 8.1 & abhor the new Windows updates (such as Windows 10, etc). It disappoints me greatly that HP would develop such good equipment & not allow updates so that we can keep what we've bought running smoothly. Can you Please allow us a replacement download since Adobe Flashplayer is discontinued?
