Had to redo my hard drive, it was running out of memory. Put in a bigger one and figured it was time for Win 10.
Still have some issues cropping up, but I must say I'm very happy so far, one thing about it is it's much smaller.

Lost TGO, can't seem to get it to work, but AutoCAD 2016 and 2000 are loaded up and working great.

I am glad there appear to be folks having relatively few issues!

Yeah, TGO is a non-starter in W10. I've tried every trick I know but no luck. If you get it going, be sure to let us all know how you did it.

The office has 8 computers, one had a Win7 folder that was 66g(mine), the next one is 54g, then the others are just under 30gs, so I'm actually saving almost 50g. No doubt there was something (virus maybe) going on with mine, but we were going to update anyway and I expected a bigger Win10 folder, it was a nice surprise to see it so much smaller, I have almost 170g free on my C drive now.

I am accustomed to 10GB or even 5 exclusive of data... I keep most all data on separate partitions or drives.
I never could get Windows 7 lower than 38GB bare bones, fresh install. Bloated.

data here is kept on the server, each C drive seems to fill up anyway.

Microsoft has done a good job of reducing Windows bloat, which I believe was at its worst with Vista.

more updates: printing has been an issue, the new version of excel (2016) created a compiling error, finally figured that out, and I can't see my quads or images, I have to repath them in AutoCAD, something with win10 I'm told, kinda a pita.
