FW: Three reasons to hold off on Windows 10

[William Fenn]

Alberto,

 

I also decided to check out Windoz 10 and had the same experience as you
had.  It took about 3 hours to get the whole process done with several
reboots that made me wonder if the computer had given up on the whole
affair.  All programs on the computer work and things do appear to be
running faster than before.

 

The computer that I installed Win 10 on is a Dell D630 that was running Win
7.  This machine was designed for Win XP and is dual core.  Processor is
running at 1.9 GHZ and it has 4 GB of memory.

 

I am writing this on a machine running Win 8.1 that will be upgraded to Win
10 later today.

Given that I am a sort of a gambler, this morning I installed Windows 10 on
the laptop that previously had Win 8.1
It took about three hours, first downloading, then churning the disk. And,
after many automatic reboots, Windows 10
was there, up and running.

The first thing I did was that of checking if all my ham programs (Winrad,
FunSDR, Argo, Spectran, Jason, TCube, etc.)
did still run.. they did, no glitches nor hassles...

Then I checked both HDSDR and Perseus. Same... everything worked as
expected.
Also Matlab, RAD Studio, Adobe Acrobat, AOMEI Backupper and many other
utilities had no problems in running 
under Windows 10.

And the general impression is that the new opsys is snappier than the
previous Win 8.1

Bar unforeseen problems, Windows 10 is on my laptop to stay...
