My MS note sent to me states MS will no longer provide security updates, etc after Mid-January. I am not a savvy PC expert so a question is > Would my desktop be secure with my Norton Security Suite which is loaded on my desktop.Thank you....

    Why 64 bit software looks slowly enter the market

    unless a program needs to address more than 4GB of ram, 64 bit isnt needed.

    to give you an understanding of how progress IS being made, the following short steps:


    32 bit app in 32 bit windows = 2GB address space, maximum.
    32 bit app in 64 bit windows = 4GB max.
    64 bit in 64 bit windows = some ungodly number in the terabyte range.


    the shift to 64 bit OS's has helped us double how much ram is available to modern programs, but until 4GB per program is common (meaning, the average prebuilt PC has more like 16-32GB of ram minimum) then 64 bit apps will be rare.


    games should have taken off with 64 bit, but they havent thanks to the consoles. (this is sarcasm. they're holding us back)

    Wifi Disconnection Issues - Windows 10 Home Premium 64-Bit

    Let me clarify. Dell DOES NOT HAVE 64 Bit drivers, so your suggestion will not work for me. Dell has 32 bit drivers which they claim will work on 64 bit machines.

    Also, when the Win 10 upgrade is finished, I have no internet access (e.g. Ethernet or WIF).

    To confirm your instructions, here's the order of operation

    1)download 64 bit drivers. Save to location such as desktop.

    2)Upgrade to Win10 (while I still have internet connectivity)

    3)At Win 10 desktop (no internet connectivity), deinstall WIFI driver

    4)At Win 10 desktop, using COMPATIBILITY MODE, install drivers (saved to desktop in step 1).

    This should restore my connection to the internet and allow me to complete the WIN10 install?
