Worth upgrading from Win 7/64 Pro to Windows 10?

Dog do-do is free but I don't go look for some to take home.

R. I take it you don't like Win 10.

Exactly - I put mine into a virtual partition.

R. Watched the 3 videos, interesting stuff, looks like you know what your doing. Thanks.

I'll wait an try out my neighbors Win 10 soon, a bit easier for me.

Of course, you should clean out any clogged vent--

R. Vents are cleaned with canned air and spinning freely.

I wouldn't drill anything personally.

R. Does sound a bit archaic for a computer, but its just a plastic cover.

But you need to determine what's "normal" for you on your laptop at your standard room temp at your typical load.
For all I know, your temps 2 weeks ago were much lower and are high only recently. That would point to a problem of some type.

R. The temps I listed have been fairly consistent in that range since I installed Win 7.

But we don't know what your "normal" is because apparently you've been keeping track only recently and can't say what temps were last March or August.

R. The temps I listed have been consistent.

Thanks again, appreciate your input.

Below is the Windows 10 upgrade add I keep getting. Saying its faster, more reliable, more secure, etc. etc. than Windows 7.

Thoughts on this add, Windows 10?
