You use an old USB modem for Internet access? How much are you paying for Internet access?

If you swap the HDD for an SSD, all of your data still sits safely on your HDD.
Changing the HDD is ludicrously simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_V2cIHUk8s

No, I don't use an old USB modem for Internet access
I'm on EE fibreoptic

If I've swapped the HDD for an SSD - whatever that is - and the HDD has all my data sitting on it, how would I access it?

Yes!

I had a similar message when I upgraded to Windows 10 because I was using an old version of Kaspersky Internet Security.

Have you upgraded to Kaspersky 2016? If not then it's probably the cause and I suggest you update to a later version.

Well I would check what version I have if I could find it!!!
Can't see it anywhere!!

That has me worried now that my Kaspersky isn't on anymore

You look here Takes around 30 seconds to fit the HDD within.

Integral 120GB P Series 4 SATA III 2.5" SSD Drive for £24.99 is the cheapest option.
Of course you can get a higher capacity SSD.

So why the O2 Connection Manager?

I think it's been disabled - hence the message you saw which is the subject of this thread.

I would just download the equivalent version from Kaspersky's site. I can't remember when I did this, whether it just activated itself again or if I needed to type in a code.

You might also find when you start up that Kaspersky pops up from time to time, inviting you to upgrade, but I wouldn't wait for that.

Whatever you decide to do, you need to purchase and fit more RAM.

2GB DDR3 1066 MHz PC3 8500 £5.99

Takes a few mins to fit and will improve the performance. But a clean install with do more. SSD even more so.

A quick google for you.....

If Kaspersky is disabled then why is it doing an OS version check ?

Not sure why you think I need Google because I saw it with my own eyes.

I had Kaspersky 2013 installed and upgraded to Windows 10. Sadly I didn't screenshot the message but it was very much along the same lines as the OP.

And I saw the same behaviour - Kaspersky 2013 wasn't active, having been disabled, but it did pop up a dialog a couple of times later asking me to upgrade, so sort of process must still have been there.

But the 'not compatible' message only popped up once.
