From that link :- Quote: Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 has a number of benefits..... and in many cases you can keep your files on your PC.
"in many cases"??!! Damned with faint praise!
When I upgraded to Windows 10 ... and I've been through most of the previous Windows stages ... I didn't find any files from previously saved work on any of the previous versions incapable of being accessed. I do keep everything, that is not currently being worked on, on independent hard drives ... even old Lotus stuff can still be opened on my W10 ... I do use it on a desktop iMac (partitioned for Windows and OS), so I get the best of both worlds.
And ... yes, once I got used to it, I found W10 superior to previous versions ...
But, rather like preferences for tents, folding campers, trailer tents, caravans or motorhomes ... it's each to his/her own ...

Yes, that is absolutely right Kelper, it is all just a matter of personal preference.
One of the many reasons I won't "upgrade" to Win 10 is because my computers are old and I have had problems before with running new operating systems on old computers. In my experience new O.S. need a computer upgrade, as they take up more space, need more memory, and a faster processor, or they go very slow. I don't have the money to buy new computers, and the ones I have work just fine anyway, so I'll leave things as they are or switch to Linux, as I'm certain there's a version that will run just fine on them. Another reason is that I am not a great lover of Microsoft and I don't want them having any more control over my computers than I can help. I don't like their prices either!

Just had a brainstorm, Kelper!
Open windows explorer and in the search box, look for "Old Windows".
I thought I'd seen it somewhere and I had. I'd moved it to another hard disk.
