Our IT guy at work advised against W10 at the outset He said to wait. I trust him.

But eventually there will be no support for W7. Just like happened with XP...which I was perfectly happy with.

Oh great ( NOT..... !) and I had XP which was perfect for me.

My IT guy told me NOT to get Windows 8 ( he knows and understands me and what I do on my laptop ) so I got one that runs 7. :-) If they stop supporting 7, I'm in a HUGE amount of trouble! :-(

I have called MS exactly one (1) time for customer support. That was about 10 years ago when I was installing XP (legally purchased disk) on a new computer. During the install, it would not register the disk Product ID. The CS guy at MS entered it manually, and the new install registered and worked.

I have not had another occasion where I needed MS support.
