Instal Windows 10 ?
39 Answers
As I write I am downloading W10 after so many requests to do so. I'm still a bit nervous of installing it though. I'm on W7 at the moment, what will happen when/if I do the installation, what will be the main noticeable difference, will all my settings be the same? please.

Just because Microsoft are nagging you to do it don't think you HAVE to do it.
If you are on W7 and like it then stick with it.
There are all sorts of marketing and technical reasons WHY Microsoft want us all to move to W10, it is not really for our benefit but theirs.
You have until June 2016 to get the free upgrade so don't rush.

Before installation commences you will be given the option to preserve your files and settings. Make sure you select that option.
When the installation completes your desktop and settings should look very similar to your Win 7.
The Windows menus for running applications will display slightly different to Win 7, for example see:- https:/
If you have been used to using Internet Explorer that will be replaced with the latest Microsoft Browser called 'EDGE'. Having said that the previous Windows 7 Internet Explorer is still available but is not listed in any of the Windows Application menus.

Just my thoughts on the upgrade ... Microsoft doesn't plan to stop fixing security problems in Windows 7 until extended support ends. That's January 14, 2020--five years and a day from the end of mainstream support.
If that doesn't put you at ease, consider this: XP's mainstream support ended in April, 2009. It caused no problems whatsoever. Millions continued to use XP for another five years without dire consequences. Windows 7 won't be any different.
Why not sit tight and let the rest find all the bugs in windows 10 that Microsoft have missed.

Had w10 from day 2. Use edge browser, and love defender security. Over time I have used w7 wxp w8 and w8:1 w10 is better than them all. I grant that you have to relearn a little once again, but I am glad I bit the bullet. We all look for the latest in cars and electrical goods but strangely seem to want to hang on to old operating systems when it comes to computers and the like. The Microsoft tech blogs are great, and help will always be given to those who ask for it, as Dumbledore said to Potter.
