Don't bother with Microsoft Windows 10 until you read this

    1) The first thing you should do before making the upgrade is to look closely at the gear you have attached to your computer. I mean closely. You might already know that Microsoft has put great effort into making sure just about every printer and scanner in the known universe will work with the new OS, but what if you own one from an unknown universe? More to the point, if you have really odd peripherals--say, a 3D printer or maybe a drone that need constant driver updates--think twice about jumping on the download so quickly. Check with the peripheral maker first.

    2) Second, ask yourself some tough questions about why you are updating. Are you an early adopter? It’s definitely less risky than being one of the first people to drive an autonomous car or use a new VR headset when there are so few VR apps. You can expect Chrome to run smoothly. But any new OS will have some issues. Maybe they are security related. Maybe your accounting app will crash. Be ready to spend time tinkering and have a good back-up plan.

    If you get past those hurdles, it’s time to think about why the upgrade makes sense. It’s a smarter interface. The Start menu is now located back where it belongs, on the left-corner of the screen instead of taking over your entire screen with tile apps. That means it is easier to use. Before, you had to know where to find simple features like how to turn the computer off. Microsoft has mostly addressed the usability problems in Windows 8 with this release.

    It’s faster, easier, and smarter. It’s also not going to change your world in a million ways. Windows 10 has not made much of a difference in how I work, the apps I use, or the fact that I tend to do most of my work in a browser these days. I don't mean that as a diss, I'm just not that OS-centric these days, There’s still some question about whether it will run reliably, and there’s no way to know unless you try it with your apps on your computer for a few days or weeks. It’s pretty tough to go back to a previous OS. Anything new in technology should be evaluated for the value it provides to you not just because it is new, available, free, or good.
