    Does it make any sense to upgrade to Win10?


    I built my current PC about 10 years ago. It's always worked well but is now showing it's age and slowing down. I have Win7 and love it but I know it's not a great idea to keep using it with discontinued MS support. I'm building a new one in the next 6ish months but I'm wondering if - based on the current specs - there's any speed/stability benefit to upgrading to Win10 now on the current build. I can post more specs if necessary. It appears to meet the MS minimum requirements but I don't want to do it if it's going to be any slower.

    Why exactly is ATi considered be better at HDMI?

    I plug my HDMI cable into the card, then into my TV. Those are the steps that I have to do. All the steps you list make absolutely no sense to me.

    Does it make any sense to upgrade to Win10?

    Win10 Anniversary upgrade

    Hello - I'm trying to upgrade to the Win10 Anniversary on a client's laptop. The laptop previously had Symantec Endpoint Protection, but it was removed before the free upgrade was performed from win7 home edition. The copy of SEP was not compatible with
    the upgrade to Win10, but it was supposedly successfully removed.

    Now the Anniversary upgrade stops and reports that it can't continue due to incompatibility with SEP. I've checked the startup, there's no SEP listed, there's no active SEP components listed under the task manager, and I'm unable to manually remove registry
    keys through the regedit program.

    So: would it be possible to:

    Roll back to the previous win edition, reinstall SEP, then remove SEP, and upgrade to Win10 again?

    Manually edit the registry (assuming that I can find the offending key(s)) so the installation can complete?

    I don't have access to the latest copy of clean wipe, so I'm not sure that would help.

    Please provide any suggestions and thanks in advance

    Bill
