I have to agree as I've now moved to Linux, Ubuntu as it happens. I wish I'd done it years ago as it feels as if I've had a major hardware upgrade as it's so much more responsive. The most noticeable thing is that when watching videos from YouTube the sound and picture always stay in sync. Not a chance of that with Windows 10. -- Kindest regards.
