Subject:Re: Windows 10 or not? (possibly OT) From:Suzette Leeming <suzette -dot- leeming -at- gmail -dot- com> To:Michael Wyland <michael -at- sumptionandwyland -dot- com> Date:Wed, 23 Mar 2016 10:59:23 -0400
My concerns with upgrading to Windows 10 were more with security. I finally
bit the bullet around a month ago and upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 10
and went through all of the security settings afterwards. The final result
is that it was extremely painless and I'm glad I did it because my computer
seems much faster now and I haven't had any problems at all.
I should note this is not a new computer, and it was not a clean install.
This computer has a 2 TB drive it in that is 70% full. I have a plethora of
programs I've installed and forgotten about over the past few years. I have
devices galore connected to this computer, including 3 different types of
printers.
Not a single problem. None. Nada. Zilch.
I'm a happy camper!
