Beware the trojan horse. Finding REAL admin rights on windows 8.1 takes work. Windows 7 still let you in to make changes. Windows 10 will be like a smart phone, all apps with no user access to turn off the cameras and microphones.

If they are giving it away for free you know its dangerous.

I’m waiting until the end of the year and getting a skylake laptop style.

Bye bye 2011 macbook pro.

Earlier someone posted how features enjoyed by Windows 7 won’t be supported by W10 such as the media player, watching movies on your PC via DVD’s.

I don’t have to plan for it. For the last month I’ve been getting notifications to reserve my copy of Win/10. I think I will wait a couple of months before I bite. Hope they don’t sell out so I kick myself in the butt for not reserving. Oh well, living dangerously.

Will it fix the problems with my machine that started when I was forced to update from 8 to 8.1?

And will I be able to use devices that my Win 8 machine rejects, particularly the MS LifeCam and an external hard drive?

If it’s not broke don’t fix it. I’ll just stay with what I got until my computer goes out.
