Downloaded 10 and all OK this end
I've stayed on Google Chrome. When I upgraded to 8.1 I lost my outlook express...some on here have stated they run it on 10...how do I activate outlook express in windows 10 ( please ). ?
I have the full ultimate edition of windows 7 and have not seem the windows 10 upgrade icon?
Not that I'm interested but I wonder why? Is it just from retail editions?

Maybe you have an Enterprise or MAK Key version of 7 Ultimate?
I've upgraded two machines so far win7 and win 8.1. Very surprised at how smooth both were. The win8.1 machine is dual booted with Linux mint and it didn't even overwrite the grub boot loader which I was expecting. Everything on both machines is working as it should as far as I can tell (I haven't tested everything!). Suppose it's weird that I'm kinda disappointed it wasn't th usual MS F up which normally results in an upgrade disaster and a clean reinstall!
After a few weeks, all seems to be working fine on a Samsung ATIV 9 Lite that was previously running Win 8.1 - all settings, passwords etc were remembered.
I have ditched Classic Shell for the Windows 10 default - it's better than 8.1 but I prefer the XP/Win7 GUI layout. I have also ditched the free version of Adware which provided anti-virus & malware protection to see what the integrated Windows protection is like. In 8.1 the Live Essentials thing got very bloaty. They have gone back to Windows Defender and are copying Panda by having a cloud based service.
Overall performance doesn't seem any quicker but I have hit the "delete Win 8.1" button as I am happy Win 10 works.
I allowed the change to 10 from 7 premium. It seemed to go ok. but now the laptop is exhibiting quiet a lot of problems. mute sync. stopped working, energy management stopped, explorer.exe not found, settings button not working, cannot launch Edge,those button things on the start menu (except a couple) do nothing, blue tooth not working. Cannot go back to 7 as i can't get the settings page up. Otherwise all is well
If i do go back to 7 can i still get 10 again? Where do you go to download 10 to a USB stick or likewise? Please do not tell me to go google it as i am googled out on this (for now)
