    There was a thread recently started by Nathan (I think) asking about windows 10. I tried doing a search to locate it and only got a blank page for my efforts.

    I presently have Windows 7 and I got a message on my screen this morning that I could upload Windows 10 for free. Do I want to do this?

    I've migrated to 10 from 7. Had some issues mostly performance related so rolled it back. That went without a hitch.

    Spent some quality time cleaning up the PC, replaced the hard drive that holds all the data with a solid state one. Bumped the memory from 64 GB to 128 GB.

    Ran the migration tool again. Now I'm much happier with Windows 10.

    I updated to Windows 10 when it first came out. I've had no problems.

    I have a custom built version of Win 7 on a Server that I use. It was built by a friend of mine with tons of RAM so I am not upgrading for a loooong time.

    What worries me about Windohz 10 is that it may not play well with some programs I have. Sure don't want to have to rebuy things that are not Win 10 compliant. I know Microfart says it is compatible, but in the real world that seems to not be the case for more than a few people. When this box I'm typing on dies I'll deal with all this cunfuser carp then. :crazy:

    I'm a Mac user, and new versions of Apple's OSX are also VERY memory hungry. When I bought my current Mac desktop, 8GB of RAM was plenty -- even running Photoshop every day. Now, that's barely enough.

    Seems both Apple and MicroSloth are piling on crap just to have something "NEW" to release.
