Recommendations for simple windows calculator replacement.
SilverSolder:
For a quick and dirty solution (for graphing a function), I have this Javascript calculator bookmarked in my browser:

Better than all of this, if you have a telephone with an Android operating system, is RealCalc. I use it often and never need to use a PC calculator other than Excel. RealCalc has all the features you'd need and is so easy to use. It supports RPN as an option for the HP fanboys as well.

I've always wanted a touchscreen peripheral device for this kind of thing. Programs like kdeconnect help but are crippled by virtue of the crippled underlying android system.
I eventually built a touchscreen/SBC/phone hybrid as soon as I found a suitably powerful one. But to avoid android I write custom software or deal with clunky interfaces. Acceptable tradeoff to me.

On my phone I use NCalc+, which is totally free and even being able to do more difficult stuff as well as unit conversions etc

Would you look at that! It's GPL'ed AND it's available for Windows and Linux. Which means that it will be available for free, forever and run on whatever OS I choose (or am forced to use by work). Thanks!

Yes free forever! 75 years after all the authors die that is. Each dead programmer brings our grandchildren closer to freedom! :popcorn:

On the smartphone (Android) I found Hyper Scientific Calculator and it's like having my sharp calculator again.
It nags from time to time with the upgrade to pro version message, but nothing obtrusive.
EDIT: I just installed SpeedCrunch and I love it.
