    Think about it..Microsoft is on a big PR campaign to get Win7/8.1 to upgrade to Win10...BUT Win 10 1 has a much longer boot than 7/8.1 2 has a "phase2 boot" (after the desktop displays it continues to spin the hard drive to complete the boot process) 3 is loaded with "junk" apps that can't be uninstalled (e.g. OneNote) 4 is no more secure than Win7/8.1 5 requires more 'updates' per month than 7/8.1 I have Win10, Win7 Pro and Win 8,1 installed on 3 identical PCs and Win 10 is the worst performing. As far as I'm concerned there a reason why the percentage of Win 7 installations is six times greater than Win 10 installs. Win 10 IS the biggest Microsoft con job since Vista

    Also, don't forget to disable "telemetrics and data collection" and to check periodically to make sure the updates haven't re-enabled them.

          And I thought it was bad my first HD was 30Mb (and attached to an Atari ST).
