harvey lee Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Going to either be buying a new desktop or have one built. I have heard some say Windows 10 is good and other who say otherwise. I simply use this desktop for photos , surfing the net and not much else, few things in Word and Excell. Am I better staying with 7 Pro or Home premium or doing the Windows 8 o 10? Thanks for any direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Moving to w10 is going to be mandatory. I now have two computers with windows 10, and it seems fine. Might as well bite the bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I agree with what you said Del , my biggest concern is a few friends who said they really did not care for 10 and then said get something else. I could go with 7 or something else but like XP, they will go away. Might be I just have to go the route with 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I can't imagine what their issues with 10 might be. It seems to run everything I have, including office2000. The format of windows explorer changed some, and internet explorer replaced by something better. But nothing much, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Mike Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 2 thumbs up on the Windows 10, don't sweat it, the interface is slightly different than 7 but not anywhere near as bad as Windows 8 was. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Agree. It seems to run smoother and feels less bloated than previous versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Windows 10 is much more like windows 7 than windows 8 was. 8 IMO was rolled out to compete with the iPad interface. Fine if you are Mac user, but I prefer windows and that pad style interfaces sucked as a workstation interface. I am not sure I have heard of any major place rolling out, everyone was hanging on to 7 hoping 8 would just go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Sounds like I will be going the route of w10, thanks for all the replies. I know 2 fellows that use their computer's a lot and said don't get 10, did no ask why. Guess maybe they simply do not like change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledNeck Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Windows 10 is good. I cleaned it up so that I never have to use any built in app and defaulted everything to my choice like windows photo viewer. (yes its still there). Stability is good except for minor IE glitches.
