I believe I have seen threads on here discussing windows 10 but can't find them. |

My new laptop had Windows 7 on it . I kept getting a message saying there was a free upgrade to Windows 10 . I finally bit the bullet and clicked on the upgrade box |

I, a few weeks ago downloaded 10 and then it went haywire. Appealed to son who told his Mummy off for downloading. He came home for a weekend and managed to get rid of it and install my old system. My PC is only 2 yrs old. |

Mine flashed up the download countdown while I was out of the room and had started installing it by the time I got back. :-S I've had no trouble finding everything though so that was a relief. I think I read somewhere that it will be free till some time in July and then will be charged for after that. |

I'm holding my breath - I'm away at the moment on holiday (with my Google android tablet) and our trusted computer guru has taken my windows 7 PC to convert it. |

my pc just suddenly started downloading this morning.. i was furious , but so far it looks pretty much like it was before.It keeps asking me to choose various settings and i haven't a clue what to do so i clicked the "later" box until i can get my son to do it on log in |

I keep deleting the offer to have Windows 10 installed. I am happy with what I have and can't see any benefit to changing, although my grandson says that I should. |

Windows 10 is a good OS if you are an inveterate Windows user. OTOH if you already have Windows 7 and don't wish to join in the connected world of Microsoft (Azure cloud services, Bing, mobile phones, Office365 online, Skype, Store, Cortana ) then there is truth to tell not a lot of reason to upgrade. Few large scale biz users have any near term plans to UG. |

For us going with W10 was a 'no brainer'. We upgraded a desktop and a laptop last August and have never looked back. Both machines are past their 'sell by' in technical terms but nevertheless still perform admirably for what we need to use them for. |
