Windows 10?

[judy]

Dear smarter than me guys, this should be simple for you. I believe I have windows (?) 8 and microsoft keeps asking me if I want to download # 10. Do I??

Up to you, Judy.  It's simply the next version of Windows that they are offering for free.  It's impossible to say whether or not you'd like the new features, and of course they'd only be good if you use them.  Like any new version, you'd have to get used to 'using' it like you did when you got 8.1. 

I got it, but I'm considering rolling back.  I like it fine, but I use software that has had to be 'up-dated' to run well on it.  One or two of my programs don't seem to be working as well, but I've only had it a couple of weeks.  Not sure yet what I'll wind up doing.

Dave, you answered my question and I know what to do. NADA!!! I don't need anything more than I have , it's mind boggling enough. Thanks!!!

A lot of holes in Windows 10 which allows big brother to further put his nose into your business.  Do due diligence. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/windows-10-watching-you-fans-6187498

Hi Judy,
I agree with everything Dave has said, I don't see it as all that great for what I do on a computer.
If big brother wants to share with the world the fact that I am a member at BT., than maybe there are some good aspects to Windows 10.
