My neighbor's dead cheap machine might need to be upgraded before the free offer runs out. Since her home internet has been snafued for more than a year, that means I'd have to offer to bring the machine to my place to fix it. AND would have to run a backup first, in case it fails in the middle of the upgrade (as you mention above). Cuz I'm more familiar with Macs than with PCs, and wouldn't be able to trouble-shoot it.
BUT if the end result would be best for her (& me*), I'll do it. Just wondering if I should volunteer to do so ....
*and me: I recognize the desktop on a PC, but have a hard time with the Windows 8 huge-button interface. When I have to trouble shoot her machine, that is. She doesn't even know what a desktop is. Nor a "browser". She knows Office, and email, and thinks that means she knows how to use a computer. Sigh....

IMHO, and I live with, administer, and write about computers for a living, yes, Windows 10 is way better than Windows 8 and a lot easier to live with. You can easily set it to automatically go directly to the desktop. It has easy logons with PIN or facial recognition, and is just generally a better OS in many ways. Windows 10 is to Windows 8x as Windows 7 was to Windows Vista.
