Hello there! I have finally upgraded my home PC from Win 7 to Win 10. It took me two days to completely install the OS and the programs. I don't have to invest to any third party antivirus software, as the Windows defender is pretty solid here. The installation was hassle free though I had some initial hiccups with the audio driver,but I solved it eventually. My 5 year old machine is now running smoother than before. Any tech related changes on your end?

The only problem with windows 10 is that it ends up calling for updates every now and then

@snowy22315 It is a mixed feeling as I was long being a Windows 7 user.

My new laptop has Windows 10, and I like it so far. My old laptop had Windows 8 and I never upgraded it.

@Sojourn I still have the old laptop, but some of the keys are broken, so it doesn't work very well. It is 6 years old. It lasted longer than some of the other laptops I had in the past.

@Porcospino 6 years is a good service period. You can always use an USB keyboard with your laptop so key problems are not much of an issue.

That's a superb gaming laptop. Do you play games? I am pretty surprised to hear that you don't know Windows 7.

@SHOHANA That's cool. Yes, for 3D designing you do need a heavy duty machine.

Some updates sometimes the reduce the efficiency of the software, but upgrading to Windows 10 brings in improved features

My only gain is the powerful Windows Defender and that my old Computer has gotten faster. But the latter could have happened with any Operating System.
