I’d do the same thing. Windows 10 is a mess. They rolled it out way too soon, but let’s face it, the only reason they did was because MS wanted to control your computer, not let the customer remain in control of it. That’s why I refuse to completely migrate to it, though I do have a hard drive that is dual-booted with W7 and W10.

Agreed. Win 10 is also the gateway, ready and waiting, for MSFT when they change their business plan to all rented software. They've already done this with Office 365 where you pay a monthly fee. And, so I've been told, your Office documents are stored in the cloud. Cloud? No thanks.

And a strong no thanks to a rented OS. I see the various flavors of free Linux as a big stumbling block to this idea.
