Hi Butch, Sorry you had to go through all that crap. Same thing happened to me the other day trying to upgrade a machine. Now I'm stuck waiting for a gadget needed to connect a burner to my other machine since the only burner I had was the one on the machine I tried to upgrade. Oops! Therefore, I have no way to burn the Windows 10 media to a disk before the 16th. Looks like that machine will have to remain at Windows 7 once I get my part and I can burn Bryan Smart's Talking Windows pre-installation disk which allows the installation of Windows 7. I ain't gonna cry over this. (smile) Of course, there is the possibility that Microsoft might offer another extension of the free upgrade.

I upgraded a couple of my machines just because. Not my main ones yet. Had lots of problems, long long story. In neither case would the upgrade program work. had to use their media creater and get full version and then did upgrade from that. Also, in both cases, window-eyes seemed to have a conflict leaving it. Had to do a uninstall and reinstall. First machine I had we set to run at startup and it just put the machine in a loop rebooting, so had to blow that completely away, so no way to go back to seven on that one. On the second machine, I set it not to run. When I tried, locked up the machine, so I just rebooted. Are we having fun yet? 73 Butch WA0VJR Node 3148 Wallace, ks. rOn Thu, 11 Jan 2018, Nick Sarames via Talk wrote: > Thanks Rod, I realize there are issues with WE & 10, but as far as you > know, can WE handle the basics?
