they already did this to my wife PC, about a month ago.

had nothing but problems since then....the “upgrade”, so far, has caused the following:

messed up her wireless card drivers....had to uninstall and reinstall. (intermittent network connectivity)

messed with her power settings....constant error messages stating that her 65w power cord is not adequate, although it is the same one she has been using since the PC was new, with no issues

battery will not charge, as a result. battery was replaced 6 months ago. removed battery, still get power error messages

constantly kicking her out of programs..

none of this was in evidence before the “upgrade”

beware.

So long story short, A non-tech savvy person like myself (how do you install/reinstall a driver? How do you even know you need to?) can expect his PC to become next to useless unless he pays a geek? I use it for work and don't want to be put out of business!
