This message has came up the last couple of times my laptop has crashed.

It's strange because when I bought the computer in PC world, the staff said "make sure you backup the computer because we've had a lot of customers returning to the store with faults because of Windows 10." (I have windows 10)

You guys got any info on this??

As a general rule I always wait at least 6 months after a new operating system is released because they're always buggy as hell upon release. No point in upgrading if you don't have to. I'm still using Windows 7 on my laptop.

10 has been fine for me on both desktop and laptop. You may not need it unless you are using a touch screen computer.

Windows 10 seems fishy as hell to me. Why are they so desperate for me to download their FREE upgrade?

I smell NSA....

They track a lot of the stuff you do, it repeats back to their server almost 90% of the applications you use and what you look at. If you want 'some' privacy, you need linux.

That is exactly how I handle it, only I wait more like 1-2 years. Why is it my job to test their OS for them? That's all the first 1-2 years are IMO. Most commercial software anymore may look all fancy and do great things but under the hood it's a ticking time bomb. Managers and company execs just want the thing made as fast as possible and pushed out the door as fast as possible so they can start profiting. The developers get pressure to release stuff before they have the time to fully test it. Why all the updates, otherwise? Over and over and over more and more updates.. The management figures that that's our job as consumers to test their sh|t, then they blame the developers when something is wrong, not themselves for pushing it out too fast.. IT managers are generally sociopaths so they are never wrong about anything!. I have certain requirements with 2 of my 3 jobs where I have to use Windows 7 for certain things and I do. But for anything that I don't have to I have switched to Mac and Linux. And anytime I need software I will exhaust all open source options before buying. I may look at Windows 10 in another year if I still need Windows for anything but right now I am OK. For the folks testing Windows 10 for me, thank you!
