Well, I don't plan to update right now, don't want to have to reinstall the programs I use most over again, especially those with keys that would need to be reentered. No one to assist with this part of the process.
I am still in Windows 7 which I needed when I was working. Works fine for me right now, later on I may update given a good reason to do so.
