Aloha!
It's so nice to be part of a community that cares about helping out your fellow man. I for one have just benefited from a suggestion just last night that has saved me so much time and money in the long run. Mahalo plenty!

John here. I didn't think I'd ever want to move to Win10 but seeing that 2 of my machines at home running Win8.1 started and shut down faster than my 12 year old Win7 laptop, even after I trimmed MSCONFIG and Autoruns of extraneous stuff, and stumbling across Brink's "Upgrade to Win10 from Win7 for free" on this site I thought, what the heck? So I jumped in and the upgrade went fine, no hiccups or anything, and working in Win10 seems little problem.

So thanks to Brink for posting that tutorial. I imagine that Microsoft may just continue offering the upgrade for free since they initially offered it free to so many people, and the fear factor (oh no..Windows 10!!!!!) is waning a bit.

Hi John and welcome to Ten Forums. Brink's tutorials are legendary. I moved an ancient W7 lappy to W10 earlier this year doing a clean install and keeping the activation using one of Brink's tutorials with no issues at all.

Welcome to TenForums, StarChase. Shawn's (@Brink) are the best thing since sliced bread. Others here create some pretty great ones too.

Hi John and Welcome to Tenforums!

Brink's tutorials are awesome. If one of them was helpful to you, stop there and give him rep (thanks button)

Thank you for the add. I'm new to windows 10 and hoping you guys can help me navigate it. My first PC was a Tandy 1000. though i'm not an expert, my hope is that i'll be able to help people where i can.

Welcome to Ten Forums Nubiewithatwist. This is the ideal forum for those new to W10. We have an excellent tutorials section and we have lots of clever members willing to share their knowledge.
