Will be useful info - I am Running Win 10 on a year-old laptop. My main computer is about 7 years old and has Win 7 on it. Thinking of having a friend who builds/sells computers put together a good LINUX machine with Windows running on a Virtual Machine for when I absolutely need a Windows App for compatibility with others.

Just a quick update ...

Been sitting on 95% downloaded for about 15 minutes now. Not seeing any SSD activity, processor is cranking away though. Going to give this a little while longer and see what happens.

My oldest computer is:

Intel i3 Processor Gen 4 @ 3.8Ghz
ASRock H87M-ITX Motherboard
16GB DDR-3 Memory
Samsung 850 SSD
Onboard Intel graphics, Gig-E, Sound, etc..

It's a pretty barebones system, I use it as a bastion host for other things. If the update bombs it's no big deal.
