Windows 10 is a fine OS, with a much more old windows-like interface than 8's hybrid tablet/desktop monster. . Upgrading was easy in my case, and on my parents machine. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Glad you had good luck with it. They will remain on probation with me. My parents react bad to interface changes so I will hold out as long as I can there. The President is a fink. |

No. But I think once you upgrade to 8.1 you should be able to upgrade that to Win10. According to MS, all PCs running Win7, 8 and 8.1 can upgrade free to 10 for the first year of 10's existence. I've upgraded my laptop and desktop that way (8 and 7 respectively). Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I still hate it. I got those "ZOMG, upgrade free!!1!" messages when it came out. How about "No?". They continued with increasing attempts at ZOMG, which I likewise ignored. Now it's gone from a bitty pop up window to the whole GD screen. FOH. I'd still be using '95 if I had the option. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

It's good enough that I haven't felt the need to add a Win7-style start menu replacement yet. Better yet, the desktop runs a whole lot faster since I upgraded. Especially boot times.
Win10. Win 8 is NOT a desktop/laptop PC OS. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

The info is when the OS reaches one year after release, it won't be free to upgrade anymore. So upgrade for free while you still can.
I think much of what you do everyday on a PC wouldn't run on Win95. Some can't run on XP anymore. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
