Well, that's your choice. I have never been a friend of Windows but I
don't regret the upgrade from XPpro to Win10pro 32-bit.

I have jumped all versions between XPpro and Win10pro but I wouldn't
trust Windows to run a (my) BBS. I do every once in a while get the blue
screen telling me "Your PC ran into a problem .......". It's not the PC
that has got a problem but apparently Windows 10.

>Wise Move on not upgrading to Win 10

I got the itch to upgrade when I received a laptop as XMAS gift from my
eldest grandson working in Stockholm, and found Win10 quite usable.

TW> On the wife's Win 10 machine it keeps downloading an upgrade and

TW> I have done multiple tricks from the Internet and nothing has

So far all the upgrades to my stationary PC as well as the laptop with
Win10pro have worked without a hitch.
