Yes, I agree and so does my wife, but I am stubborn!
I like what I have and from a hardware stand point it's good and I keep the drivers updated.
My problem, and for others in my situation, is we migrated from 7 to 10 and don't have a clean install.
There was a process for doing a clean install when the migration occurred but everything ran fine for several months and I ignored it.
(I even, embarrassingly, bragged about how well it ran right here!  :-[  A lifetime should have taught me NOT to do that).
I'll probably do what you have done at some point.)

Well - it's up and running again and seems OK -now  in the process of reloading apps.
Two days work to save the $400 for a new one. Holding breath.

No, no, Nobby !!......You know how much I hated W10.....

Definitely sympathy for Bill, though.

I know. You haven't an ounce of schadenfreude in your body, Techno. I just like the word schadenfreude, and get depressingly few opportunities to use it. Would it be ironic if those around me took pleasure in that?

It's like "schwerpunkt". Wonderful word. Never quite manage to drop it into conversations.

One of my best days was when out Finance Director was doing a brain storming session, and asked us all for reasosn that ... blah, blah, blah ... as he wrote them on the board. I suggested "potential floccinaucinihilipilification of our services". That went down well with everyone ... but the FD.

"Gusset". There's another good word.

Schadenfreude - needs a capital letter at the start.

I'm so happy I'm about to bust a gusset!
Everything, including Windows 10 trying to load the cumulative update, fail and rolling back.
All is right again in my little world. (Until I actually have to buy a new machine).

Fsn, your FD was "out" was he?

Kitty purrrrrr.

Ah Grasshopper!  Stubbornness in the Face of Microsoft is like p1551ng against a hurricane, a terrible accident waiting to happen.  Rather bent like a reed in river of consumerism and buy new hardware.

That sounds like a definition of bad experimental technique.

The full quote is

"If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards!"
― Terry Pratchett, The Colour of Magic

I've attracted enough complete and utter chaos in my time to empathise :)
