    I got my HP desktop in 2011 and it is still running just fine. Switched it to 10 like you did but a year or two later. It does start up much slower with 10.

    HP is a good, dependable brand. I've had a few, run them until they.re just not up to running new OSes and software. All other brands I've owned have been constant repairs.

    My next personal computer will be one, unless a new OS comes along to consider. I would imagine it's like an Android phone but not sure.

    Windows 10 takes a bit of learning but is the best Microsoft has done. That's been my experience.

    It is bloated. I went through mine and tossed some things Bill wanted me to have and I didn't want to have.

    Yes it is. It is basically a platform to get to programs and your stored stuff in the cloud.

    I am not confident enough to try to delete things. I know in the past that could screw up your computer, but courts told Microsoft to knock that stuff off.

    I’m a Mac user. How would deleting things screw up your PC?

    With Microsoft if you tried to delete their favorite bloat ware it would cause a lot of problems. For example I deleted internet explorer to and added another web browser. I had to hit reset to get the system to work.
