Well finally got around to installing Windows 10 upgrade and it all went very smoothly and took about an hour then about half an hour checking printers, external drives etc. It's not as bad as I expected and the only thing I dislike is Microsoft Edge, So will stick with IE as I really like it.

just read this,

just fully initialise the operating system and ask Cortana for the info, she should find you a list of reports of the best free photo editing software

personally I use paint or something I bought (but its not cheap like £150 per user) or the photo editing software that's came with my office subscription, but seriously  there are literally hundred of them available via the windows store just get something that's free with a at least 5 good ratings that are written by real people

I would recommend you switch to edge which works almost identically to IE without the same security flaws, the only change is the settings menu navigation and the buttons are on the wrong side of the header bar, and disable flash player, for security (doing this with edge makes available vids load as html5, doing it in IE11 makes them unplayable, in both cases disabling flash player disables most adverts) or in fact pretty much any other browser than IE11, MS claims there going to support it until 2020 but they said the same about ie6 and then only issued updated twice a year once IE7 was 6 months old/

and remember if your worried about your internet activity being tracked don't use the internet on a computer that's newer than windows 3.1, because since then all of them have ben sending telemetry data to Microsoft HQ, the joys of using the Microsoft one drive over google or yahoo storage are its yours and you can access it from your phone and your desktop/tablet on any OS through a browser to outlook.com or via the app, if you authenticate your two step protection (dual emails +phone number or authenticator app) you can sync over the ether to other devices.

having used w10 for several months apart from some driver issues that caused it to work rather slowly or when its got updates waiting in the background to be installed it seems a lot better than 8.1, I like being able to access the start menu again I like that on my touch screen I can play with things much better I love the fact the sodding charm bar doesn't pop up every time I move the mouse while trying to edit the edge of something
