it's really just 2 schools of thought. Those that feel "if it ain't broke,
don't fix it" and ..."ooohh that's shiny....must...touch it!" when it comes
to things that move I like the tried and true. PCs I'm always upgrading...
it's a hobby and keeping up with software resource requirements is essential.
My CAD modeling software updates every 12 months now and it does more, requires
more resources and can utilize more resources. in this regard, time is money
and quality keeps me busy. I could not compete on an XP machine with 4GB
memory and AutoCAD 2007. No one would hire me... LOL Having said that, I just
retired my 2005 Sony Viao dual core (because it died...) after 10 years of
solid service as my entertainment center streaming video box... In the words of
Michael Cain in Austin Powers, "....it's not the size mate, it's what you so
wiv it!" It's just that way with marine electronics, do your 10 year old
instruments work? do they suit your needs? do you REALLY need the new Ray
touchscreen? Danny

I'm still on XP for my daily driver and Vista on my desktop which gets used
rarely.
I do dual boot with Linux (Ubuntu) and keep it up to date.

I have a digital recording studio in my house. You would be amazed at how much
hardware, as well as software, from the trivial to the major, is not supported
by Win10. What is the hurry? Let Win10 ripen for as long as possible until you
actually need it. Then again, thank you to the impatient early adopters for
jumping in early and finding the problems (the hard and painful way) that will
be fixed a year or two from now. Some present hardware will never be supported.
How many flatbed scanners went to the recycler when Win7 didn't support them,
although they worked perfectly in XP?

about programs that were loaded on your computer? Quicken, video

Generally, no (no need to do an upgrade).
Be careful, though, with anything requiring special drivers (GPS
receivers (they are all “special”), any extraordinary WLAN adapters
(e.g. some of the special “extended range” ones), any older (and
obsoleted) h/w (e.g. some older printers, scanners etc.), many security
devices (e.g. finger print readers).

Joel,
I'd be interested in how other programs run with it or whether you have
to do upgrades on those as well.

I installed Windows 10 onto my Lenovo laptop with Win 7, Install was
flawless. Made sure that OpenCPN runs as well as Office apps. The
new browser will import bookmarks from another browser in seconds.
I did not have a chance to play with it much, but first look is very
positive.
