Some basic questions
At the moment I am using Win 7 (Dell OEM) and still considering Win 10. However, there are a few basic questions that I would be grateful for answers to.
1) I have Windows updates set to 'ask before downloading'. The impression I get from the media and internet is that MS are pushing users to upgrade with all their might. However, I haven't had anything at all from MS. Is this just me? If I actually decided to download Win 10 I am presumably going to have to call MS - have you got a suitable link?
2) As noted above my Win 7 OS is the pre-installed Dell OEM version. Am I entitled to the free upgrade?
3) I understand that the free upgrade will end about July this year. Is it possible to download the upgrade now but only install it after the end of the free period?
4) Is there a site where I can check whether my current system - hardware and software - is compatible with Win 10?
5) I take it that the upgrade will not carry over any of my installed programs.
