Hi Namir,

This weekend I did my second upgrade to Windows 10 and it went very smooth.

A few months ago, on a whim, I bought one of Micro Center's cheap Windows tablet. They are selling these for less than $100, so I thought it would be an opportunity to check out the Windows touch interface on a tablet. (All my tablets/phones are Android.) I ended up with the Winbook TW802, which is an 8" tablet with 32 GB drive, 2 GB memory, and Windows 8.1).

I played with it and quickly decided it was not really useable for me. I was mainly wanting to use it with regular Windows Desktop programs, and these really only work well with a mouse.

This weekend, I decided to see if it would upgrade to windows 10. The upgrade went great, took a about 1.5 hours on Wi-Fi. All the correct drivers loaded with no problems. After playing with it after the upgrade, it has now become a usable tablet. Windows 10 loaded a much better display driver that gives many more features than the original Win8.1 did. Under Win 8.1, I couldn't scale the desktop; with Win 10 I can scale the desktop 125% which makes the programs much easier to use with my fat fingers.

All in all, I am very pleased with Windows 10.
