I have been traumatized in the past by Microsoft's ideas about upgrading.

Five years ago, they forced Win 10 upgrades to a lot of older computers that could not handle it. Older computers ran worse under 10.

Remember Vista? They fixed Vista by creating Win 7.

Your mileage may vary, but again, why do it? Just because they gave you a pop-up?

Four years from now, you will have options. No need to do it now.

You have a chance to do what some of can't in life -- save yourself!
