Guess What I DID???

It's taking a bit longer than usual, but if should be ready soon, don't turn off your PC

 I DID IT! I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on my laptop.. Not on the desk top yet.
It took almost 3 hours and there were times I thought I wanted to turn off the PC.
But it was easy to do... just click get upgrade and
WAIT... it does it all without help.

I laughed out loud when this screen said Sit Back and Relax...I haven't relaxed since I decided to do it. 
I HOVERED and watched and hovered and watched.
Well, I did not, even though I could have left the room and not come back.



 I love the boxes on the start menu. The thing is, it is the same but different.. I think I love it.
I did this because I intend to by a touch screen desk top at the end of the year and I wanted time to learn Windows 10 before I do...
If i missed your post, i have been fooling with this for 3 days, not the download, but the how to.
like getting photos into it from my cameras is quite the adventure.

I have yet to meet Cortan, I clicked on it and it hurt my brain.... more if I ever figure out who and where and what she is.

You're a brave pioneer. Keep us updated on how you get along... Maybe you'll give others courage to follow... :)

Well done, Sandra! It's rather nerve-wracking, isn't it. I'm so glad I have the upgrade too now. Lots of things are still a little strange, but I, too, think I like it. Um. I never imagined Cortana was a woman! Now sit back and relax...

If transferring pictures hurt your brain then I'm in for a total melt down!

Proud of you. Now you must teach me.

Ann Thompson said...

Cool. Good for you for being brave. I thought about getting it but I chickened out.

Thanks for the update on your update, Sandra. I have decided to skip this upgrade and also plan to upgrade my desktop, but to an iMac instead.

Congratulations, Sandra! It can be fun learning something new and hopefully this will be a fairly easy transition for you!

I haven't tried to upgrade yet. I will but I was waiting to see if it worked for YOU! You are braver an smarter than I am so once you are satisfied with it - I will play Follow the Leader!

So, did you actually get the photos to upload form your camera? MB at Small City Scenes gave up on it, I think. She worked for days.

I am glad you like it...I am not ready to mess with it...figure I will give them time to figure out the bugs...or till I get my next computer.

Congrats! I am very interested in what you think of it after using it for a while.

Good for you...Change is always hard and you have that "stick to it-ness" that's needed.
that Cortan is a bit scary to me. Good Luck!
