WINDOWS 10

Good point - I almost did that - glad I didn't now - I don't think I could face it yet

I suppose that was why so many systems went down over a couple of days.

The comp man told me to stay on 7 ,I used to have 8 but got rid of it.

I haven't tried to do anything too complicated(as if ) up to now and already the business of just surfing the net has become second nature. Even Mrs.JS seems to be coping OK. One thing I have noticed is that prior to upgrading I seemed to be getting screen freezing with windows 7 fairly regularly and so far(touch wood) it has not happened since.

They are advertising W.10 on TV at the moment.

Got Windows 10 reserved. Just waiting for it to come through.

I have been off line for a day or two because of a major malware infection. It took Microsoft Support 3 goes to remove it all and was a major PITA.
The infection was more to do with the Microsoft Edge browser than W10 and I have no idea where I picked it up from. The first clue anything was amiss is when unasked for adverts started popping up on the screen as fast as I could delete them followed by a pop-up and a verbal warning that I had a major infection called "Zeus" and giving me number to phone to have it removed. It is, of course , a major scam and the last thing you should do is call the number and I didn't but be warned(if you use Edge) it could be you next and it is not a happy experience.
PS I am now using Google Chrome as my main browser.

I was asked to let Microsoft update my Windows 10 today. I duly obliged and it took two hours . I have had a read through the exiting new benefits and find none of them will help me with my daily pootering. There may be hidden benefits but I have yet to discover them
