>Anyone with some thoughts?

I have Windows 10 at home and Win7 at work. I prefer Windows 7. My home machine, a Dell, has gone through all the upgrades from Win7 to Win10 via 8 and 8.1. It was a nightmare. I often had to do image restores. I was on the phone for a whole day with MS (Win8 era) regarding the fact that my Updates were not working at all. Solution: re-install.

Windows7 just seems to be more stable.
