Welcome to Sysnative Deema.
I'm never touching 10. I understand that MS wants to get the jump on Google by beginning the tracking and pattern catching locally, before the user hits the web, so they can cash in. But, to me, it is an unacceptable situation.
If this is your reason for avoiding W10, you have been misguided and misinformed.
It is important to understand there is a HUGE difference between privacy and security. W10 is, by far, the most secure Windows to date. As for privacy, Microsoft is NOT trying to steal your passwords, learn your real identity, your street address, your contacts, or hack into your bank accounts. Nor are they trying to compromise your computer to use for nefarious deeds.
In reality, you have much more to fear from your ISP and your cell phone carrier (and Google and Facebook) than you do Microsoft.
The simple fact is that anything that can be done on 10 can be done on 7
Sorry, that is just not true. I have found nothing I could do in W7 that I cannot do in W10-except, maybe, run obsolete, legacy software and support legacy hardware. Remember, W7 is already nearly 8 years old!
as I am probably way behind current tech.
IT is industries within industries - nobody can stay current in all areas.
