I'm biding my time on this - I'd be interested to find out what problems others have with it - but don't forget that it is only free for 12 months - after that, you pay!
One thing that concerns me is incidental costs.
My Toshiba Laptop runs W7 and is quite happy with all our hardware, yet Helen has a near identical machine about a year younger that came with W8 and whilst our Canon Lide 60 scanner works fine with my machine, there isn't a driver for W8. For the moment, Helen can use my machine to scan anything and transfer the files to her PC but if I install W10, presumably I'll have to scrap a perfectly good scanner and buy a new one! This does not make W10 'free' in my opinion ...
It would probably be a good idea to trash my machine and reinstall W7 to get rid of all the accumulated crud and consider a dual boot option with W10.
The question is, how do I implement the dual boot option? Any advice, please?
