Well Errol might be showing a bit of ankle and exposing his vast technical knowledge ..........but, if so, my ankles and toes are still firmly covered up with my technical knowledge barely peeping out! |

I'm running it in various guises - virtual machine, dual boot and a standalone machine which has dedicated sound and video cards, 16 Gb of RAM and a quad core processor. |

I know with earlier builds of W10 there were issues with default programmes and file associations but this is easy enough to change... |

I haven't upgraded yet as i do like W7. My OH has and he gets annoyed at having to put his password in every time he goes to use the PC, He also runs Vista on the same machine. |

I wonder if there was a glitch when it downloaded? Seems odd that Word docs defaulted to Wordpad |

No probs at all here on both my desktop and OH's laptop. Installed in August and the only tweek we had to make was to change the date format which defaulted to the US version. |

I've been wondering what all the fuss was about with Windows 10 as I've found very little difference from the Windows 7 we had on one computer and the Windows 8 on the other. Slightly different layout but everything works exactly the same and I can access everything I could before. |
