I used to be a hardware specialist back in the seventies but now I am almost completely ignorant of technology, in my day a zero voltage switch in a chip was the latest thing, now you have windows 10..I had to wait 10 years for dos...

So my question is..I have noticed that with each new version of windows the recommended memory goes up..and often the hardware has to be upgraded or replaced in order to run..

What will I need to run win 10?

John.

Good question. I'm thinking that 8.1, which was actually a whole operating system by itself that they were able to replace 8 with, was actually 9...but what does it matter.....as long as it works!

I already decided I'm skipping Win 8.  One look at it, and that's all it took to decide.

Good to hear the next one out is going to actually be an improvement.

So....  What happened to "9"??

   As some of you know, I'm part of the "insiders" at Microsoft. I am running an evaluation copy of Win 10 right now. I beta tested 7, and 8, and now I'm running 10. This is what 8 should have been, then most people wouldn't have hated it so much. Stable, fast, easy to navigate, and no surprises, or stupid "metro" interface. A real start menu, and so far, compatibility with all my stuff. I've been doing everything I normally do with it and not a hint of a glitch.. This is what probably would have passed for final code a few years ago. I didn't have to install any separate drivers, and it even set up my Canon wireless all in 1  during installation. I really haven't had to tweak much...just icon size and desktop theme, so far. I realize most of you don't even think about the OS as more than a means to an end, but this one is going to be a great one...and it comes with enough built in utilities to make most tasks easy right from the beginning!
