I was so bummed out by the constant upgrades every two or three days on Windows 10 where it would tie up my laptop for an hour or more to download 110 improvements, that I went to my neighborhood computer store and begged them to take it off. I’m relieved to be back with Windows 7. Now I hear the same complaint from the church secretary who just updated, that Windows 10 is constantly tying up the church computer and she can’t get back to people on a timely fashion. My computer guy said these updates weren’t for our good but so that Microsoft can track our web visits.

A friend of mine has a Thinkpad E11 with Windows 10. She said, “Take a look at it!” I couldn’t because it was updating, no way to use it.
A constant problem.
A week or two later I did a fresh install of Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 on it and now she’s happy with a computer she can use. MS really screwed the pooch with Windows 10.
