Lots of people will see the word "Upgrade" and will have clicked proceed without even knowing that this is not the same as upgrades of old.

After 20 odd years I'm sick of being the friendly PC guy, I'm now the unfriendly PC guy anyone who wants help with their computer can pay my professional bespoke programming rates these days

Word its amazing how many of my Wifes friends in particular will ring or text and im supose to dash round or call them up and sort out some issue

But I have to be honest I see to many people conned by computer repair shops to stop helping

I think as always best to do a clean install you should have the orginal disks or download of the application and instead of trying to upgrade.

If more people use there My docs and had a regular backup in place for all photos, documents and any other unique files. You could simply wipe and copy over.

With regards the browser as the browser comes more and more important for many users surely many will like many others and myself have several Browsers loaded.

But still find best to run browsers and day to day stuff in a vm, when it looks scruffy or in a badway, wipe and run the orignal clean version

I agree clean install is best it's just that a great many people don't understand what's required for that kind of exercise.

I'm still using Chrome a lot because of the cookie bug in IE, even though it's not losing cookies quite so often now it's still losing them more often than I would like.

Good point about the vm's I'm leaning that way myself, I'm running VMware Server on my 64 bit laptop and the performance is amazing, I've got a 2008 Server running in a VM that feels like it's on the raw metal.

The QL was the PC which Linus Torvalds owned.

Both were good but one was British made and the other was not
