I installed new purchase of Windows 10 - then deleted it!

Installed on older "good brand well supported" laptop with minimal specs.
I was surprised it really ran great for a new OS on an older machine - including usable web surfing.
(it took 3/4 of a day to finish installing - rebooted like 15 times - but i didn't have to life a finger hardly during it)
HOWEVER - they removed support for the laptop (0 sound, no directx video extra support), so I un-installed it. (most OSes are breaking past equipment to force upgrade not just Microsoft)
Microsoft has a strange product (c# .net sublet shell prompt what??) but the worst part of w95 days are gone, it runs .exe from all over (many company/products) you keep needing to update this or that with, and it does great gaming without locking up (which indicates your actually getting to use the hardware you paid for) and is only ~ $100? please well worth it for *not* having to hack and end up with partial support of what u paid for right?

Overall I was impressed and will (re)buy a copy
