The last batch of pages are pretty much all gibberish to me. Non computer person here.
I already had used 10 as i had a netbook that was either 7 or 8 when I got it, can't recall now. But I updated it first last year. I didn't like 8, but I like 10.
Now I have a new netbook I just got and it came with 10 already.
For my old frankenstein desktop, I waited until yesterday. It was running 7.
Its old and had pretty much most parts replaced at some point. Not me obviously, my husband does that stuff.
. But I have a really old scanner hooked up that didn't even have proper drivers for 7, but somehow he got it to work. Printer is a bit old too. Everything still works fine after update, which was a nice thing. A few driver issues which I can update myself. My monitor is also pretty old and there was some thingie going on with the video card I think?
Overall it was pretty painless and stuff kind of fixed itself. Best thing is its much faster booting up. I mean faster, not fast. Before it was 3 minutes at least before it was functional. More maybe, usually as long as it takes me to brush teeth, floss and rinse and all that.
. Now its about 3 times faster to boot.
Its a 3.2 ghz with 4 GB ram, so its not going to be flying.
Glad I updated it. All my settings stayed the same which I was glad at. I have some custom settings for making fonts and icons and such larger. I do not like changes and have to fiddle with stuff.
I really didn't have any issues with 7, but figured might as well go ahead while its free. I like 10 just as much as 7, once I figured out how to get rid off those tile thingies I don't need in start.
Ok, you guys can go back to geek speak now.
