Windows 10

Microsoft and 'net advisors did not lie , W10 is a good OS
Why 
It seems to be more efficient.
thus , it works on the main laptop ( I'm typing on it now )

Of course , try it on the mobile , baby laptop of bargain fame

Well !

After trying to load via the WiFi connection 12 h and nada
I managed to connect via ethernet , let the sucker run all night and woke up to W10 almost ready to install
One app needed uninstalling which was OK b/c the app was a left over from the hard drive wipe job in which we tried to speed up or de - clog the baby laptop - marginally successful

Alright , you're asking why not buy a replacement for baby laptop
STUBBORN
I won't give up on the baby laptop til all is lost

When my father was in rehab ( 2004 ) , a outreach nurse commented ' sometimes the senior needs to fail completely before they see the alternative '

Thus , W10

We shall see said the Zen master

Everything was hunky dorey using the ethernet connection but WiFi powered
