Not if you're running 8.1. I recently acquired a machine that was running 8, and it was like going back to the paleolithic era. The first thing I thought of when I saw Win 8 running was "I really DON'T want an iPhone". This junk (all the tiles) doesn't belong on a real computer. Some things required clicking with the mouse pointer OFF THE SCREEN, making the thing unusable in some cases. Win 7, however, might be considered an upgrade. When 7 came out, I remember it being described as an improved version of Vista. Once I considered Win 2000 to be the best version, before it became incompatible with so much. Now 7 is the best version. I wish they had forked off of that version. Just about everything about 8 should have been chucked in the bin, excepting the greatly improved Task Manager. Yes, although they'd still have to add crap. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "God is a divider, not a uniter." |

I have Win 10 Pro 1803 build 17134.885. Settings Update & Security Windows Update tells me I am up-to-date but also, in contradiction, says 1903 is ready for me to install when I'm ready. I recall reading about several serious issues with it so I'm not over-enthusiastic. What's the consensus please? Terry, East Grinstead, UK Thanks all. I decided last night to bite the bullet. 1903 build 18362.267 now installed. Some minor things awaiting resolution but generally looks OK so far. Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

What is scary is that there are people like you who go around from one newsgroup to another misinforming Windows users about updates and privacy issues. In Windows 10, you get updates every month; You also get upgrades every 6 months; The time period is almost predictable and I would have thought that people with some intelligence would be prepared for them. The next upgrade is not far either. We might get it before UK leaves the EU on 31st October 2019. Now what is so difficult to plan for it? If you want to know when is the next monthly patch then it is 13th August 2019. Can you make a note of this date in your electronic diary so that you don't have to keep misinforming Windows users. -- With over 999 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |
