Decided to do the Windows 10 "upgrade" on my laptop first because it's
the one I can afford to do without (while troubleshooting) if anything
goes wrong.
So, right off the bat, I get an error ...
"Unfortunately, this PC is unable to run Windows 10"
"[Triangle-Exclamation Mark] Compatibility issue:"
"NVIDIA GeForce 7300"
"The display manufacturer hasn't made your display compatible with
Windows 10. Check with the manufacturer for support."
I checked. There's apparently a solution, but it looks like it's going
to be a long, involved, pain-in-the-ass workaround.
I hope it's not going to screw up any of the software I already have
installed.

1. I upgraded to Win 10 on my old machine and it ran fine. No issues and
not too different from Win 7 in terms of the user interface. Upgraded my
wife's laptop from Win 8.1 to 10 and would say that it was an
improvement in terms of how the user interface worked. The only
reservation I would have about 10 is that (AFAIK) you have no control
over updates - they will be downloaded an be applied whether you like it
or not. Over the years I've had a few situations where an update screwed
something up and had to be undone, but that is a very few number of
situations.
2. I have an IR converted K10D. It works works well be the metering is
based on visible light, not IR. As a result - metering can be
significantly off. So shooting involves taking a shot, checking the
histogram, making adjustments and re shooting. I'm not familiar with the
K20 but I think it supports live view. If it is metering directly off
the sensor the metering will be much more accurate - it will be based on
the IR spectrum that the modified sensor responds to vs viable light. I
would consider that a plus in favor on converting the K20 compared the
*ist D or K10D.

1. Is anyone using Windoze 10 yet?
If so, how do you like it & is it any good for running PhotoshopCS6
Extended? I don't use Lightroom or CC.
2. If you had to choose among an *ist-D, a K10D or a K20D to convert for
IR, which would you sacrifice? Who would you choose to do the conversion?
