Warning: Ranting and whining to follow
Spoiler
So the day before yesterday I got notice that it was my turn for the free upgrade to Windows 10. So I get it going and everything, and when I come home from errands and appointments it's all ready to work. Then, as I'm playing my games and talking to my friends on Pidgin, I get told that an app is uploading. I'm like "no". Then the computer starts to lag. So I ask it to restart. And the computer stops working completely. Now it's in the shop, and the girl thinks that the Windows 10 got corrupted. It's so new that the shops don't have it, so I'm going back to Windows 8. The computer's in the shop for a week, and the money I'd saved to treat friends on my birthday is gone.
Then I get home, and the guy with the email similar to mine has put MINE on another website, and I open my inbox to find FIVE pages of dating site junk. So I go in, change the password, and then write a message for him on his profile telling him that I will keep deleting accounts and shutting down mails as long as he keeps using my email address. I also changed his description to "This guy keeps using the email address of a forty year old woman."
How am I writing this? Because there's a blessed (mean that literally) old dino of a computer that lives here which can chug along slowly and which still works with most sites. I love her. She's always useful, even when she's just being the hall table for me to put hats and my purse on.

Honestly stories like that and some of the stuff with W10 I've heard about are why I'm sticking with W7 as long as I can.

*very grateful for the hug* I keep getting hit with the childish feeling that I did something bad by using the birthday party money for the computer, because it really seemed to me that one friend couldn't understand how fixing the computer could be more important than spending time with friends. It's probably a result of my confusion in connection to the whole computer situation. I still don't know the right way to respond to many things, it seems.
... o.0 There are lots of bad stories about Windows 10?

Most of what I've heard is a mix as well, ads in solitiare being one of the Imo bad things(i've heard about a thing where you have to pay 10 bucks a year to get rid of them) but I was already iffy about it even before I heard about that as i have older games that some as is don't work with windows 7(those are on a vista computer) and some do but haven't worked with 8 or 8.1, so i'm leery on upgrading because of that as is.
