PLEASE DO NOT UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10 NOW

Today Microsoft made Windows 10 available…..We’ve already gotten the first call from someone who wanted to be a 'Pioneer' by performing the Windows 10 upgrade. Her system has frozen, and now she’s anxiously trying to plan her next step, while checking her backups… not a place one wants to end up.

We are helping her through, and have gently reminded her that 'Pioneers get shot!' - don't be a Pioneer!

We have always recommended waiting 6 – 12 months when a new major release of Windows, such as this, becomes available. That will give Microsoft time to address the issues. The early adopters are like 'beta testers'; finding the problems for Microsoft for fix.

Please let us know if you have any questions… otherwise we recommend a hands-off approach to Windows 10 for now.
