I know that, aren’t you reading my posts? what costs?
How can it cost nothing for many of us since all the security programs have free versions, and who buys a new operating sytem upgrade every two years, like you said you do?
Many of us here are just leaving XP, and we use free programs for everything.
"aren’t you reading my posts?
what costs?"
You said
"I just didn't see why you felt the need to pay for everything that was free, or how you found a way to pay to upgrade your OS every two years."
The free versions are nothing compared to the "Pay Versions", because there is a great deal of difference.
I purchased the upgrades to Windows newer versions, up to and including Windows XP, and after seeing the trouble people were having with Windows newer version beyond XP, I quit buying their upgrades.
Other upgrades I purchased were the security systems.
Take my advise and save yourself some trouble.
DUMP WINDOWS.
