I'm getting lots of pop up reminders that my year old HP notebook with Windows 8 is eligible for the Win 10 upgrade.
My tech person ( no 2 son) says I can put it off until the spring......should be plenty of time to get reviews. He said something about Microsoft trading free installs for a better capability to track our movements. Hopefully info on whether this is true will pop up over the next few months.



I read a recent article about that. Apparently Windows 10 is far more
invasive in terms of what type of data it can automatically
retrieve from your computer (aka "spying") but I've also read that the
privacy levels are selectable and what Google captures from your
computer is worse.

Jury still out.
