Joe,

  I may do that for this one.

  I've heard so many horror stories with it, but "Microsoft is forcing
folks to upgrade" to get the "security updates". The thing is, $200+ a
pop is rather pricey, IMO (I'm a frugal cheapskate).

  One fellow ham radio operator calls Windows 10 "Satan's Little Sex
Toy".  Every time there's an update (which is done at any time, day or
night, no matter what task you may be doing), it invariably crashes
several applications.
