Agreed, I have upgraded 2 of my computers so far and I have multiple monitors on one of them.
Very easy upgrade process and all the programs that I use regularly from Windows 8.1 work with no problems.(y)

We were not home, so couldn't do it on our hot spot. Backed up my files and got to work as soon as we got back here.

I have only one to upgrade, honey uses android tabs, phones are android. Other computers are all xp.

My laptop is not old it had win8.1 always dragging, pausing, being a pita, This is like having a brand new computer. And it is not over heating any more, some process would just crank the heat up.

I chose not to. Maybe I'll change my mind before the year of free downloads is over. I've made the mistake before of "upgrading" to find out the new best thing is actually worse or more restrictive.

Besides, I used Windows XP from the time it was released right up until late 2013, so Windows 8 is still a baby to me! Can't say I've ever had any issues with windows 8, either. Runs great for me.

I'm still running Windows 7 on my computer at home and we're also still on 7 at work. I never liked 8 at all. Eventually I will do the upgrade to 10... I usually wait a while until they get all potential bugs worked out, then I upgrade.

I went from xp , old lappy, to win8.1 with the new lappy. The upgrade is one heck of an improvement.
