When I went to bed last night I left laptop in sleep mode, chucked dust cover over it and away I went.
Got up this morning and am now the proud owner of a laptop running Windows 10.
Didn't ask for it, didn't particularly want it, but there it is up and running.
Seems ok so far but still think it was a bit of a liberty.
Yes, that's true, for weeks now I've been getting pop-ups telling me it's ready to install and giving me the choice, I've just closed 'em down and got on with things. Never really considered it would go ahead and do it anyway without me ok'ing it.
Lol Baldric. Sorry I had to laugh. I am sure you will love it. Defender is excellent and I run the Edge browser now. Plenty on here to help you find your way around. hc is well up to speed with it. If I may, could I just recommend that you make sure to run the updates.
Microsoft recently changed the priority of the Windows 10 update from optional to recommended a number of people have been caught out by this I had one the other day and to my surprise the roll back worked so perfectly the computer booted with all the programs running that were running when it updated
Always best to do it yourself - there is quite a bit of tailoring best done during a custom install and other drivers will need updating as MS only uses ones they approve.You may have issues with older programs to get them to work.
There are a number of programs that Windows 10 zaps and are un-installable under it, some also have problems with the amount of data that Microsoft harvest and are suspicious of what also lurks beneath
