Then I read a blog about how the upgrade from Windows-7 to 10 is free and easy.
The Acer notebook is basically a spare computer so I said why not try it.
Note that I have used W-7 for so many years, and I am old and did not like learning a new OS.
But the article also showed how to make W-10 look and feel just like W-7 with the start menu and all.
So I took the bait, and happy I did.
