Windows 10

Windows 10 was launched by Microsoft in 2015 and by the end of the year, problems with the software design persisted. The default ‘Save’ is to OneDrive (the cloud) and since only 15 gB are provided free, it is quickly used up when you want to save your pictures and music. If you need more memory, you can buy 1,000 gB of cloud memory for $ 10 a month — permanently. Further, if you don’t like spending $ 120 annually on additional cloud memory, you can create a Library for your documents but you can’t save anything to it because of the default ‘Save’ to the cloud. Also, you cannot ‘Insert’ items from your Library into an e-​mail message or into WORD, EXCEL or POWER POINT, as the ‘Insert’ function doesn’t recognize your Library. At the end of the day, Windows 10 forces the users to use the cloud, resulting in a substantial windfall for Microsoft. Workaround suggestion: Google «OneDrive removal from Windows 10».
Other problems: (1) You cannot look at the ‘Properties’ of e-​mail messages to determine if the messages are legitimate. (2) Windows DVD Creator software is not supported.
If you are running Windows 7, stick with it as there are too many problems at this point to consider switching to Windows 10.
