Sounds nice!

W10 has some great features and I finally figured out how to use them so I don't have to rely on the 9 yr old Dell Doc program that gave me a row at the top of my screen to launch stuff from but they eventually dropped.

Now I can use the Windows key or even better, the task bar which is also available in W10 to launch stuff I use often from protected space.

To travel better like you do, I'd be tempted to go with a powerful laptop the next time if I can plug in my 29" and 27" monitors and MSFT ergo keyboards and multiple drives, flash sticks, etc. perhaps from a dock. Right now I have an HP laptop upgraded to W10 but it is a hassle to travel on short notice if I want to take everything with me.... have to backup then restore Thunderbird to have all my email...

Nice 3.5 min video showing some of why so many of us like it here

When you are baking at 100F in TX or WI.... we'll usually get nice cooling from that fog 7 out of 10 days during the summer.... it runs in cycles and is free AC for many.
