In the wee small hours of this morning, I finished the last of the planned Windows 10 upgrades. Although they take a long time to do (for me about 4-6 hours, a lot of which is downloading the software). The installation went like a breeze. You get a screen that asks if you want to do a standard installation or a custom one. DO THE CUSTOM ONE. That gives you the opportunity to shut off all sorts of reporting to Microsoft things and other crap that is intrusive.

I was astonished that all my Adobe software made it unaltered. Additionally, the Spyder color calibrations also made it. The only thing that did not run was my VueScan scanning software. I downloaded the version for Windows 10, and things were good again.

One thing that I have noticed is interesting. My computer is an HP Envy 17 inch laptop. I like it a lot. It has had one problem which is overheating. When that happens it shuts down. So far this computer seems to be running much cooler. I have been watching task manager and it seems to consume a lot less CPU time and seems to spin the disks less. This is just casual observation, but I do think it is real.

You still have a day or so to upgrade for free if you wish. I am glad that I did.
