Re: Windows 10 considerations

Jordan,

As a general rule, there is not much to be gained from changing
something that works well. Computers should ideally be used with the
operating system they came with. Buying a new system with new system
software is the easiest solution when the old one stops working or
becomes too much of a risk to use. Upgrades are just stopgap measures to
make the old systems last longer. Given the short cycles of technology,
upgrading systems older than a couple of years may prove to be
counterproductive.
