A few questions for decision to upgrade
Currently, Win7 Pro on new laptop-
I purchased a refurbished Lenovo T530 (replacing a limping 6-7 year old T61), 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM built 2012, Nvidia card, 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) NO TOUCH, Intel Core i5 3320M (2.60GHz). The machine config I wanted is not being produced yet so I'm looking at the T530 as a temporary for a year, maybe 2.
1. Post upgrade process, Win7-->10, ~how much drive storage will still be consumed by Win7 remnants?
2. Would working with 10 w/o a touch screen but any more difficult/cumbersome than working Win7 w/mouse?
3. Does 10 use >, < or ~= the RAM as 7?
4. Are there any huge OS 'use a lot' modules (e.g. file explorer, control panel, system...) with unpleasant surprises in terms of a) not being intuitively located (Win7) or rebuilt necessitating a learning curve?
5. Is 10's speed >,<, or ~= to that of 7 in processing OS tasks?
6. With a primary SSD boot and shutdown times are no longer an issue. Does 10 make same even less an issue?
7. Is 10 significantly better at diagnosing a network or system problem than 7 (which really isn't much of a stretch)?
Well, that's it guys. Your answers will enable me to decide.
