I went from Vista to Winows 8.1 so I really cannot comment on how 10 compares to 7.

But I can make a judgement on 10 vs. 8.1 and it looks like a step backwards to me. I am, apparently, the only inhabitant of the universe of Happy Windows 8 Users. I really, really like the full screen tile-based Start Menu. It is one mouse click to toggle back and forth between Desktop and my Apps.

Full screen leaves lots of room for lots of Apps. Version 10 cuts down on that Real Estate.

No thanks.

Mrs p6 and I are fine with W8.1. W8 came the HP laptop she bought last year and I upgraded for free.

It’s fine. Works as good or better that the XP we had been using at home and at work.

The learning curve took a couple of weeks but wasn’t anything like rabid howling from the Apple/Linux fanboys.

I d/loaded the W10 Tech preview but plan on installing it on another machine...after all it is not a release version.

wish I could figure out how to do that. 8.1 took away 'easy transfer'. did you pay someone to do it?
