My 17" Asus laptop is not only my work computer, it is my goofin' off computer as well. Put together—custom assembled—by a local computer shop. After chatting with a friend of mine who works for Mickeysoft (she didn't badmouth Windows 8, but it was obvious that she wasn't very enthusiastic about it), I had the shop load the computer with Windows 7.

Somewhere along the line, I lost sound on the computer, so I can't listen to sound files or get audio on things like YouTube videos, and pop-up windows keep telling me I need Adobe FlashPlayer (which I thought I had).   About a dozen times I've tried to download it and somewhere in the process it all goes pear-shaped and I have to reboot. Damn! I'm about to call Heath of GeekServ to come out and give my computer a dope-slap or whatever magic he usually works (but it costs and arm and a leg).

Then this morning, the Windows logo appeared on my taskbar, inviting me to "Get Windows 10."

I am reading this thread with great interest, and checking other things about Windows 10 on various internet sites. Sounds good so far….

But I'm still feeling very leery….
