Bytes and All

.... computer log

Alright fell for the hype and pressure
Microsoft is offering a free upgrade to Windows 10 OS
Comments on the 'net range from about time to ' wondrous '
The release date was last July and improvements and add ons have been welcome

I thought my home laptop was adequate in terms of memory ans speed
Thoroughly expected some blow back e.g. lag time and mis - matches w/ existing software

So far , log on and start up have been normal
Real plus events are :
1. Windows 7 ( previous OS ) could not load a ' patch ' or update from years ago , thus we kept getting ' could not install B000..... or some such --- all corrected

I disabled or removed from shortcuts about 6 apps that would never be used ( I think )
Well ,yesterday a window pops up ' several start up programs use large data inputs and you are not using them '
Golly gee ! information that I can use
Got into settings for start up and disabled some more programs
So . when the electric bill can't be downloaded , we will know why , right !

And back up was going badly , started 3 times and got to where there was 60 % back up after 4 hrs and said ' crap ' and shut the back up down.
Last night went to bed and left ' back up ' running.
finished the whole back up in 4 h something

All is good in computer world for now

We shall see said the Zen Master

Weather , sunny and dry but going to change over the next 3 days
