[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6683990, member: 8835"] Along with this, the big problem of XP and Vista is that nobody upgraded. ever. Eventually that means you can't get a printer that works. Windows 10 is a free upgrade (for win7/8 users). That means for $0 you can get all of your modern PCs running the same OS. And pre-Win8, that OS actually runs better. Windows 8 introduced some radical performance improvements that were clouded by the crappy interface changes. But stuff really does run better inside of it, due to how they handy sleeping applications that don't have the Focus. Another plus of this upgrade is that it is the "last" upgrade. After this, like Apple, MS intends to just keep updating it. For free. Sure, one day, your PC will be too slow to accomodate the latest whatever, but at a fundamental level, all your PCs can run the same OS. Not splitting hairs over "that one is still on Vista, this one is 7...." That'a s PITA in my multi-PC house where I have more IT concerns going on. And its free if you have Windows 7 or 8.x. I can see balking when it costs money. This is free. And it'll probably work. Compared to some past upgrades where you're better off wiping and starting fresh. I upgraded my Surface Pro3 a few weeks back. Win10 is working good. Sure, there's a few differences like the right-swipe menu changing radically so it's hard to get to my Wireless Display Adapter enabling menu. But that's a minority problem. [/QUOTE]
