No, the news thing was automatic when you download 10.  I got rid of some stuff but not that.

Bluddy hub probably thought  "she won't need that"

He left lots of stuff on the laptop, but for some reason

I am left with bare bones on the PC

I also got the notification, Joono. Great feature.

My only small criticism was that it was a little slow - if a tsunami was heading our way, the alert wouldn't help much. Then again they did have to compose the article, so I guess I'm just being picky.

Hahaha If there's a meteor headed my way I hope they don't tell me.

Hi joa_ell,  Windows 10 processed fast enough for my home office tasks using my relatively high-end spec pentiumD workstation , so maybe ok for your machine however upgrading from oem XP or oem VISTA is not a free upgrade, the cost being somewhat over $100.

This may or may not be a factor for you.    

I havn't taken the plunge yet, quite happy with my windows 7.  might wait off a while....

sick of that little upgrade pop up which comes up randomly on my screen.  I heard it is a 12 month trial, but the pop up says it is the full version and not a trial?

Hi Oz. 

I'm not sure about the trial aspect (once installed you get to keep it and it is the full version) but Win 10 is a free upgrade for 12 months after launch.
