Joe,

JM>  When I upgraded, other than 10, it was when the pc was the shop for

  I may do that for this one.

JM>  When I installed 10 (free upgrade from MS) I thought "This won't take
JM>long" but it was hours while the PC churned away downloading, installing,
JM>rebooting, etc.

  I've heard so many horror stories with it, but "Microsoft is forcing
folks to upgrade" to get the "security updates". The thing is, $200+ a
pop is rather pricey, IMO (I'm a frugal cheapskate).

  One fellow ham radio operator calls Windows 10 "Satan's Little Sex
Toy". :P Every time there's an update (which is done at any time, day or
night, no matter what task you may be doing), it invariably crashes
several applications.
