    Both my PC and Lappy were engineered with W7.

    I took the W10 'upgrade' on the PC and it eventually wrecked it. Had to take it into a tech and have it scrubbed
    and W7 reinstalled. The Auto Updates with W10 shut you right the hell off.

    Lappy with W7 runs just fine and I ain't gonna change it!
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Yup, spent most of the day today getting W7 installed and all updated. Had over 200 updates, took quite awhile, but, now I have the options panel with all the cool fun stuff back for my Microsoft Cinema Lifecam HD, and the old onboard graphics started working again even though I've installed a new high end graphics card. I wouldn't have had to if I'd have just reinstalled W7 when that W10 update wiped out the onboard graphics driver.

    I hate W10. The only thing it's good on is the NEW TOUCH SCREEN computers. That's what it was written and designed for. If you have an older computer, keep your W7.

    I will admit that I am not a techie.

    I am a hammer banger, can tie, splice and secure any line or cord you can see.
    I can prep, paint and surface and guarantee it.

    A computer? I am a whimpering 3rd grader!
