[Coco] OT: Upgrade to WIndows 10?

[Corey Bryant]

LOL @ selected later but the upgrade started anyway.  I've seen that a few times now.  I just assumed it was Microsoft being Microsoft --- NO!  YOU'LL TAKE THIS UPGRADE AND LIKE IT!

Yeah, Win 10 seems to be working fine now, after the reboot, so no need to revert to 8.1.  I sure was in horrible shape before that, though.

Something I should have seen as a bad omen:  Initially, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to Win 10 now or later, and I selected Later.  But it started the upgrade anyway!
