Windows 10 is not the bogeyman everyone is making it. New hardware with Windows 10 works very well.

And I absolutely recommend SSD. Samsung is as top-of-the-line as it gets. Steer clear of OCZ, IMO. I’ve had nothing but problems with them.

Thanks for that! I have been reading good reviews of the Samsung SSD machines, but I believe they’re beyond the budget. I don’t know what “OCZ” is, but shall find out shortly. Thanks again :)

Agreed. Hardware designed to run Win10 runs Win10 well.

Win10 typically has trouble on machines designed prior to Win10. There's a reason:

Win10 is NOT designed for back-compatibility, whether at the hardware level, the software level, or the user experience level. It is designed to drag the Windows community into a new environment, kicking and screaming. And surprise, we hear them kicking and screaming.

> I absolutely recommend SSD. Samsung is as top-of-the-line as it gets. Steer clear of OCZ, IMO. I’ve had nothing but problems with them.

Agreed 100% on both counts. I won't use anything but Samsung, and haven't had any failures in perhaps a dozen installs. The only OCZ I had a few years ago sh!t the bed after a couple months.
