Title: Windows 10 free upgrade.
Post by: Basil on August 06, 2015, 05:12:00 PM
A week ago my old desktop Vista HD finally failed... :thud:.. (I have got all doc/pictures on external HD).
Three days ago I got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro
I have spent the past three days getting used to 8.1, but today I got "tempted".. :moreevil:  and via the windows updates, carried out the free upgrade to Windows10!!!
From beginning to end, upgrading took 1 hour 30 min... :wub:
Everything has gone great and my laptop now has Windows 10... :thumbsup:

First impressions:  I must say I like it. I think I prefer it to 8.1...At least it has a proper "start" menu!... :lol:

Reservations: The issue of, apparently, non existent privacy, concerns me. I have, however come across this article which I will read carefully and, may be, apply its recommendations.
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/windows-10-doesnt-offer-much-privacy-by-default-heres-how-to-fix-it/

Now I start on a new (steep??) learning curve, trying to familiarize myself with the new program, which seems to be quite different to previous versions of windows!
Any advice would be appreciated.

Happy days ...  :mitch:

I want to download MBAM and Win Patrol. I have licenses for both of them.
Does anybody know if they are compatible with Windows 10?

At the moment, I only have ESSET NOD32 A/V installed!

Thank you.
