I figured MSFT was due for a ‘good’ OS, after the debacle of Win-8, so I registered for the Win-10 auto update. Got on the ‘list’ and a week or so later got a notice that my upgrade was ready. It tried auto install 9 time; failed every time. I finally did a manual install, per the MSFT instructions.
Fired it up.
Looked good.
But, then...couldn’t open the Windows Store, couldn’t install new software, and my internet connection started giving me fits; dropping every couple of hours.
Screwed around with it for 10 days, working all the suggestions on several blogs and MSFT forums.
Had enough.
Restored back to my old Windows-7 Home Premium, two days ago.
No issues. Everything works as it did. And, no internet connectivity issues since.

They can keep that new (P)OS.

just watch it with 7, they will start sneaking sh1t in with updates to 7 and 8.

dont be surprised when 7 tells you they have 10 downloaded and ready to install.
