Steve I have been using Windows 10 from the very early beta stages while working at Microsoft and I have had very few problems. Can you provide a few examples on why you think Windows 10 is a disaster and which you have to pay for? Especially since it was initially given to everyone for free to encourage wider adoption. Don

I've gotten W10 doing everything I want, but don't like the semi-annual upgrades changing my settings. It's a lot of work twice a year putting my preferences back. Microsoft's settings would work if I surrendered to them, but it's my computer. Josh * * *

I am not sorry I went from Windows 7 to 10. My fear was all my legacy programs and software would not function under Windows 10. That why when I got this Dell workstation back in Dec 2016, I opted for Windows 7 Pro. It came with Windows 10 Pro media as well. If I knew that all the programs and peripherals would still work under Windows 10, I would have ordered the computer with Windows 10 Pro preinstalled. I do not miss Windows 7. I really like Cortana, and 1903 really makes it better to use.

Steve, I am retired from Intel Corp. and rode the Microsoft train, moving from MS-DOS to Windows 1.0 in 1985 and continuing through Windows 7. After all, I worked for half of Win-Tel and that was our standardized software. In the early years, no one at Intel used an Apple machine for business purposes. Windows 10 was my inflection point. I moved to Apple after trying the free upgrade to Windows 10 and finding it abysmal. It was time to upgrade my hardware anyway. Now, I wonder what took me so long.
