[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 431205, member: 24285"] Been tempted to go upgrade to Windows 10 but thought I'd best wait until I had some time to rebuild. I originally built my DIY board for Windows 8 - bought the first copy out of the local store when it went on retail sale. BUT at that time many of my games didn't like Windows 8 and I was using Elements and it kept crashing - was told it wasn't Win8 ready yet. (Ver 10). So I bought another SSD (had put one in to host the OS and data on a 2T) and on my second SSD I reloaded Windows 7 and created a dual boot PC. (Keep in mind this was my first ever DIY build). And it worked (still works) but can't recall last time I booted to Win7. Have moved onto newer games (yep a gaming grandpa here - like simulators, trains, plains and automobiles). So now I'm trying to decide on what is the best upgrade path. Ditch Windows 7, and then repurpose that SSD as my active image drive. I have a 2T and a 3T internal drive in this beast now along with the two SSD's. (and three external drives outside - my redundancy is redundant). That's why I'm not in Windows 10 yet. And fearing that my 'new' Windows 8 games may not like Windows 10. Need to ensure that Corel's Aftershot and Painshop will make the transition for sure. Anyone using those programs on a Win10 machine yet? [/QUOTE]
