    Brand name and model number? Seems that you machine needs a clean up, rather than a forced rush in to Windows 10.

    Money Plus was my main reason but perhaps I need to rethink in light of the fact it may now work with Windows 10.
    You can upgrade to 10, if doesn't work out, you can roll back to 7
    if you do it within one month of the update

    You could be right :-)
    Aspire 5750 so an ol laptop but one that I have tried so hard to keep clean and tidy
    If anyone is prepared to hold my hand through CLEAN UP I would be so grateful. Find it all rather scary.

    Yes....:) It's been downloaded to over 50 million machines so far, the vast majority having no problems.

    Did I read somewhere that after 12 months there is a cost implication to Windows 10 ?

    Settings > Updates & Security > Recovery > Get Started button under Go Back to Windows 8.1 (or 7 if that's what you upgraded from)

    yes


    you have 12 mths to upgrade free , if you leave it to after this period , the "free" disappears and it will cost you a visit to a shop and being relieved of between £99 and £149 (dependent on version) for a copy of windows 10 , just like the old days of win 95 , 98 , xp , win 7 and win 8

    It's free as long as you upgrade before end of July 2016.
    If you decide to upgrade after that date, you'll have to pay.
