I'm not expecting to pay any more for Windows-10 than I already have - nothing. The upgrades I've already done have required no extra hardware, if a PC can run Win-7 or Win-8 it likely has the hardware capability to run Win-10 (1 GHz processor, 1 GB memory....). Whilst I run both Linux and Windows, as I have to run a number of Windows programs Linux is not universally suitable for me. And I can use Windows-10 to program my Raspberry Pi 2, should I wish. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu
