I've OKed the update for whenever it will happen. It was just the way the information was presented that threw me. I don't have any real experience with W10. My wife wanted a new laptop in January and W10 seemed the way to go. She uses it for email, Facebook etc, so I guess optimal performance is not a pressing desire. I rarely use her machine being content with my machine and W7. I guess when I have to get a new one, I'll have to throw myself a bit more into W10/11/12/whatever.

But your advice was a great relief to me. Many thanks.
