Being an experiencedad IT guy you should have known that Windows 10 is going to eat a core 2 duo for lunch. You should have upgraded the hardware, if not just for speed, but for the fact that electronics eventually die.

Your mistake, not Microsoft’s.

You own stock in Dell or something? When Microsoft advertises an operating system as universal, it should be universal. And for your information, most computer users out there have machines more than two years old.

Thanks, FRiends. I’m so glad that I quit wasting time with W10 back in 7/15 after months of Insider Preview. I don’t know what the future looks like for me, though. And I’ve had and worked with M$ from DOS 2.0, including all the Windows versions from Win1 forward since 1985.

Your reply is idiotic... I’m running on a machine 5 years prior to a “core2duo” and am running fine with w7 only because Vista Business took a dump on me and couldn’t be recovered. Even the slowest desktop from 10 years ago is hundreds of times more powerful than mainframes were back in the 1980’s ,, and I ran 10,000 IMS v1.1 users with sub 1 second response times on a 3031AP with 1mb of ram and MVS/Jes2/tcam ... It isn’t the hardware that’s the problem ,,, it’s that software will always be written quick and dirty and allowed to hog resources up to the point that it uses 100% of the machine.

Stop blaming users not adapting to the latest version of Microsofts horribly written bloatware.
