WINDOWS 10

I have spent the last couple of days working on my desk top computer, switching it over from Windows 7 to Windows 10.   I switched my Laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 8, while down in Texas last winter.  When I updated to Windows 8, I hated that learning curve and swore I would never go through that again.  But I ended up with Windows 8 on my Laptop and still had Windows 7 on my Desktop at home.  Which doesn't make it easy to switch back and forth.

I have heard varying opinions on Windows 10.  A couple of people I talked to gave me dire warnings of nothing but problems with it.  Then I also got the nod from others saying "Go ahead, you will like it.  It's kind of a combination of Windows 7 and Windows 8."    So to solve my problem I have jumped in with one foot.  (only my desk top so far)
 
Well, there were no real hang ups on the update, it went smoothly.  It's looks a little different, but not totally.    It is just a matter of figuring out where they have put everything I need.  With every update, they always seem to, not only move things, but rename them as well.  I went through this last winter down in Texas  So here I am going through the learning curve again, to bring them both up to the same standard. 

Right now I am trying to get my "Favourites" and my "Contacts and Address" lists switched over to "10".   I am also trying to learn IDrive, to put everything on the cloud.  I will work with my desk top on Windows 10 until I feel confident about switching my Laptop over.  Hopefully that will go more quickly and I will have them both running smoothly before we head south.  



THIS SHOULD KEEP ME BUSY WHILE I AM AWAITING DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS.
