Re: Windows 10 for free?
Windows 10 has totally messed up my Surface Pro 2 tablet. I thought being a genuine Microsoft product I'd be safe! Now it refuses to sleep for more than 30 seconds. The first time I took it out of my backpack after the upgrade I knew something was up as the battery was near zero and the tablet was very warm. I've found some workarounds by turning off the wake up abilities on every possible device in the device manager, but now some of the software that I normally leave running when the tablet sleeps, like Thunderbird email won't respond once it wakes up. Even with this workaround or by turning the tablet off when not in use, the battery life has dropped significantly. I wish I'd left well enough alone and stuck with 8.1 until Microsoft worked out all these bugs.

It's free for Windows 7 and 8 users, Vista users must pay for the upgrade.

Not only will the drivers not load onto our computer with Windows 10 for our Kodak 2150 printer that works fine with our Windows 7 computer but my son just called me and his printer will not work with his new Windows 10 laptop. I am sure it is a driver situation also. Hopefully the printer manufacturer's will get on the ball and put updated drivers for Windows 10 on their websites.

That is often the case, thankfully my Canon works perfectly

if it is too unwieldy, you can go into system restore, and restore your old version with one click.

Re: Windows 10 for free?
Been using 10 for weeks now. Works great. ONE HITCH, though. My sound went out on my laptop. So I deleted it in the system and it reset it again, and worked fine. Happened a couple of times, though.

sorry to tell you this Mike, but you just became a guinea pig for Microsoft. 
I would make sure to back up all my documents daily, just in case your system goes kaput.
At least have comfort in the fact that you sacrificed your computer for the rest of us.
