My IT guy at work said 10 is a mash up of the things people (no idea who) liked best about Windows 7 & 8. I hate most everything about 8 as it was designed primarily for touch screens which my laptop is not. I do know the Start button is back in 10 thankfully.

I read a tech article on it just a few days ago. It said to not download it if you have an older computer. it also said you have no use for it if you use your computer mainly for checking email, websites, and social media. Hope this helps! 😊

Dell Concierges told me just this week that some computers are not compatible with W10. They checked mine, and mine isn't, but I could have them make it compatible. I am in no hurry to move up from W7. but went on a waiting list.

I have it and so far I really dislike it. It seems to have overtaken everything and lost many of my apps.

I haven't but on the desktop I keep getting choices of when to install it and they are only 3 days at a time--not 2 months or so or whenever. Have heard various people say they've had to reinstall virus programs, one lady today said hers wouldn't install as it had a problem with the internet, etc and she restored to her prior system, there have also been a number of patches to fix things and there is a site on yahoo that tells how to shut off the invasive nosy areas. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/windows...130502898.html

From what I am hearing, I think I will not upload the Windows 10. My computer is 3 years old, and I am doing just fine with Windows 7.

I'm a computer tech and I won't move to Win10 until it's a little more mature. I generally have a rule that if it's made by Microsoft, it has to be in Service Pack 1 before I'll move to it, or recommend it to clients.

I'm also waiting to make sure I have time to try to troubleshoot if some of my legacy software doesn't work. Right now, I'm running some Janome embroidery software that they stopped supporting as of Vista on my Win8.1 machine. I'm reasonably sure that Win10 will be an added challenge.

I'm past 30 and have it on one of my machines...

Please be careful with that machine! Microsoft stopped supporting XP more than a year ago: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/wind...f-support.aspx

This means that any new security problems that have come to light since then have NOT been fixed. You no longer get updates for the machine and it could be very insecure. At the very least, I wouldn't do anything that involves financial transactions on it.

Reserved a copy, but have no intention of downloading it at this time.

I just reserved a copy also. Probably wont download it, as my computer is about 4 yrs old and time for a new one. I got to read up on all this newer win10 and all.
