Windows 10 question (anniversary upgrade or creators edition)
I'm visiting a person, who had Windows 7 pro on their system and it ran fine for eons without any problems.
When the Windows 10 system came out, by hook or by crook, this person got upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, build 10240 and for the most part it's been running reasonably well.
