I’m in no hurry. I’ll wait until Black Friday, buy a new laptop with 10 installed. If I like it I’ll move stuff over from the old laptop. If I don’t, I’ll donate it.
That is what I will probably do, too — buy a Win10 laptop in the future. I will probably wait until Win10-R1 is released. By then, we should know whether Win10 is another wreck.
I already know some hardware and software will likely not work under Win10. I had to jerry-rig some to get them to work even partially from XP to Win7. Some of those software programs are more important than a new OS, because they do not have comparable new programs. I would rather stay with Win7 than have to ditch those programs.
