Windows 10

[Spreeny]

I'm currently using Windows 7 on my Acer desktop but keep getting messages telling me that free Windows 10 is available to download - what are peoples thoughts on this , should I upgrade to 10?...tia

I did, no problems, If your computer is compatible I would do it. Whilst it is still free!!

For everyone who says "yes, upgrade" there is someone who says "no,wait". Why not decide for yourself with this help....?

...the upgrade remains free until the middle of the year, btw...

I really do not like the sound of W10 and I DO NOT want it.
I was warned that in a fairly short space of time, we won't have any choice and it will be foisted upon us whether we want it or not, I'm holding onto hope that I can click a "no thanks" or "I do not give permission" button when PC D day arrives.

Computer Active is running a big article on switching off the data gathering functions in Windows 10....there are a lot. So no I won't be upgrading soon!

I have successfully upgraded five computers to Windows 10 . My advice to you is that before you attempt to do the upgrade is make sure that all of the updates have been installed and that all of your programs are working properly this is important. Make a complete backup of your hard drive so if you have to you can restore your computer back to the previous OS. Give yourself a few hours to do it and a fast internet connection is good if you have one to complete the download as it is quite a large one . Know your Microsoft id and password as it will ask you for it.
