Felix, for me, NO. I am finished with jumping through the Microsoft hoops.

I first kicked off when you got 4K rom and 4K ram in what we called PCs in those days, (late 70s) and the chase has
always been on to upgrade, as that was the only way you could run newer software that was always coming out.

I'm 73 this year, and I have a super fast ultra-lite notebook W8.1 with an SSD drive. Boots before I can rub the sleep
out of my eyes of a morning. It does everything I could possibly want. Well, apart from running a few older programs
that run only under XP. I am working around this problem also, and will eventually solve it.

I dare say this current PC will now last me 5 years, as the newer models seem to be able to keep pace with changes.

I'll get a newer, faster, lighter, cheaper one in 4 or 5 years time, and they will have W11 or W12 or whatever
installed, and I'll be 78.

The O/S will come with the purchase of the new PC, and of course be installed.

If I get to 83 years of age, and still have the get up and go, and money to get a new one, I'll do the same thing.

After the maddening experience of upgrading two friends PCs from W8.1 to W10 in the last few weeks, there is no way I am
going to change just for change sake. My 8.1 works fine.

I'll just throw my money at the M$ problem in the future. :-)

Cheers Don...
