dirtyboots Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Computer came with 8.1, it's an all-in-one and I like it. Decided to upgrade to the Win10 system the other day and since I am located very rural the signal isn't stellar. I'm a former Millenicom customer, I went with the Verizon deal and kept my JetPack. When I started the download all went well other than very very slow to download....after a while the JetPack got HOT and I was only at 12% download so I aborted. Another issue is I'm sensitive to wireless and didn't do well during the download, normal use doesn't' bother me. My question is...should I worry about the JetPack getting hot? I could leave and not be bothered by the wireless BUT would rather not burn the place down! I don't HAVE to upgrade, I'm fine with 8.1 and not techie enough to crave the newest, was just interested in seeing what it was like. Thanks for any comments.

RV_ Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Donna, Get with a friend that has a cable modem or a library that will let you connect to theirs. You are looking at about 3 GB of downloads after the updates to the upgrade. Then there is the Anniversary update coming 2 August which will be a major upgrade to Windows 10. If you don't mind waiting because you are going to buy a new computer in the next six years, then fine stay with 8.1 for now. It will cost about $100 for home and $200 for Pro give or take ten or 20 bucks, after the 29th of this month, nine days from now. It is really no big deal, if a hundred is no big deal for you if you change your mind later.
