What are the latest feelings on W10 for desk-top use?
I bought a new desk-top back in the summer with W7/64 Pro. Free W10 upgrade wasn't an option on that at that time, but on Thursday after a massive 60 updates overnight I now have a button offering a free upgrade.
I swore I wouldn't when I bought the P.C. but now I wonder.
1/ Is it worth the hassle? Like will it work straight off or take me days to get it sorted (computer numpty)?
2/ What am I now going to lose, that I'm perfectly happy with ATM?
3/ ?????????
1/ Possibly not if you don't need W10. This is being sent from a new laptop which came with W10 and having been using W7/MS Office for years, I found the different format and facilities available in W10, even with MS Office, very messy. I am slowly getting used to it but I am also aware that because of lack of understanding there are probably facilities available which I do not know exist or how to use.
2/ You won't lose anything in terms of facilities, apps etc, quite the contrary; however, you may well find that saved documents, particularly e-mail attachments,'disappear' until you discover that they have been saved in a place you didn't expect. Now, how much of that is due to my e-mail server, W10 or me I don't know, but the big emphasis these days, due to people using multiple devices, is on using remote storage instead of having everything saved to the computer's drives.
3/ Somebody else will doubtless reply to the contrary, somebody who understands these things better than I, which will just go to prove that I am a computer numpty!
