Computer Help and Support

Have had all newer Windows since then except for Millenium.
I upped from 7 to 10 on my desktop six months ago and have had zero problems.
Kept all my games, apps, files and apps.
Four year old printer prints.
Wi-Fi networked to my laptop no problem.
Laptop purchased with Win 8 (ugh) and it has been upped to 10 also (ditto all the above).

A previous post here suggested turning off most of the 'phone home' doohickeys and I concur.
A web search will show you how to do that. This one's good, with plenty of tutorials --> http://www.tenforums.com/

You should save your music, pictures, personal stuff, etc onto a flash drive or external storage devices.
You would need, also, to make sure you have the installation discs for any programs you may have purchased
as this would be a 'clean install'.

From a 75 year old dude, I say go for it.
You're never too old. The best is yet to come.

I also have a Linux distro named UBUNTU (translates as Human Kindness) in a dual boot configuration.
