[Coco] OT: Upgrade to WIndows 10?

[Arthur Flexser]

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!
