Today I have upgraded a family member's laptop from Windows 8.1 to
Windows 10.
I had Windows7 on a removable drive in a caddy on my desktop. A couple
of days ago, I downloaded the Win 10 iso and did the free upgrade. the
install process is painfully slow - but it worked. I was surprised MS
allowed me to do it! Windows 10 itself is much much better than I
expected. I haven't tried to install anything - if I did, I doubt I'd
use the 'shop'.
Next time I fire it up, I'll try installing something.
Going from Win 7 to Win 10 changes the reg. number - and Microsoft
doesn't make it easy to retrieve it. It's in the registry with the
characters written in Ascii-hex. I think I got mine back OK, but I will
try one of the downloadable apps that get it back, next time I fire
Windows up (not for a few months, hopefully!).
Back on topic, I am delighted that Wine now installs and works properly
in Wily. I have been using Mint for a while, and am glad to be back
with Ubuntu at last!
Regards, Barry.
