Pretty strange you were thinking that. But, so far so good. Didn't realize that on the log in since I use the pin. Do have the Microsoft account so I can get at it that way if necessary. Always have wifi here so never thought about that. Thanks for the tip. We are prepared. Have to be with...

Did the upgrade and seems to be working well. Only complaint is the Cortana is irritating so I shut that off along with the wifi sharing. If one is into the Microsoft games, they change and eliminate the chess game if you are into that. Seems to be a little faster but seems ok.

Wow. Haven't had that happen yet other than I know it is sitting there.

I forgot about that. I think I seen something on Kim Kammando's sight about that. Good description here. How to stop Windows 10 from using your PC's bandwidth to update strangers' systems

Good information. I'm going to look at some of the trick & tips and see if I see anything that I will need. Like you, I would say I use chrome much more than exploder.

Ok. Very good information. Just wanted to make sure it didn't screw with other applications that are window based like office, exel, files or photos. That kind of thing.

If I decide to do it, does it take a long time with a decent connection. Using Comcast. I think much is already on the computer with the constant updates.

Ok...thanks. Good to know. Maybe I won't switch so fast?

Was curious of any thoughts good or bad on 10? Currently on Windows 7

The new Samsungs are suppose to be pretty good but not sure how they stack up against the new I6?

Because they use it as a advertising vehicle. Or, just a way in to your computer.

Too many things to drive you crazy. I looked at reviews for Chromecast and they are all over the place. Not sure how it compares to Roku. I have to guess internet speed has something to do with some of the poor reviews. That Amazon box looks interesting.

Is that the little gizmo that plugs into your tv for streaming? Thought about getting one but seen pretty mixed reviews on performance when looking on Amazon.

I really need to catch up. I am using Microsoft exploder XP. Although I am using a Android tablet. Taking baby steps.

OK....if you get a new laptop and it has that Windows 8 touch screen on it, can you use another browser or does that mess it up?

I am still thinking 7 is a better option until they get the bugs out of it. Certainly is some question marks if they are coming out with a updated version this summer. Starting to remind me of the people that had issues with Vista. Never used that one.

Once maybe as I am a patient person.:rolleyes: By the third time of that, out in the yard it goes. :cool:

After reading everyones post maybe I need to go to Windows 7. This 8 thing is making me nervous.

Might wait a little bit. I seen a business report today that said computer sales slowed 13 percent due primarily to Windows 8. Supposedly they are coming out with a "Blue" addition this summer. Suppose to have a few changes and a start menu. That might convince me to wait a bit or find a 7 for a...

Sounds like it could be challenging to say the least. I think the surface pro is touch screen only? Does it have a rubber case and waterproof? Just in case I throw it out back in the pool.:cool: My concern is eventually, is this all that will be left so we have to adapt. I currently use XP...
