    Well I tried! Win 10 has some very big flaws so back to Win 7 after many calls to Microshaft. You cannot stop updates from just downloading and they do not install like they should. It took me 6 hours and many reboots to install and that was after a message finally popped up letting me know why my computer took minutes not seconds to load any program. I spent a few hours trying to determine what was going on! I tried to load my old Win7 Microsoft games folder, I have done this many times with no problem but they will not run. Call Microsoft again. I was told no way could Win 10 run old games and I think locking some thing and programs was done deliberately. The last straw was being told (after trying to get help for days) that the reason my NWN2 editor would not accept my Java command line was because Win 10 changed the Java commands. I was told this twice believe it or not. I tried to go to the store and sign in to stop ads in my Microsoft games but there is no where to sign in! When I asked "what am I missing" I was told to drive 90+ miles to the Microsoft store with my 60lb computer and they MIGHT be able to help me sign in. This is a flawed os so in a few years when they might fix it I might be idiot enough to try again.

    What they want is to support only one OS. They want it patched, clean and tidy. And up to date with hardware and legal third party software.


    Not the way it is now with some people still on xp, some on 7, some on vista, some on illegal versions. With everybody on win 10, the competition is thwarted.

    It will be introduced to the xbox shortly. But beware, they have a little snag in that update. Windows 10 will check for LEGAL hardware, or even software. So tweaked, altered, rooted or improved x-boxes will surface and could be disabled.
