I've read many posts on internet fora where people moan that the audio/video then gives them problems. I obviously don't want that to happen. Windows 10 itself is OK, way better than 8, but then XP is better than 8 imo.
I'd pay for genuine Windows 7 if the install /fix was guaranteed.
I don't feel comfortable having someone else being able to control / switch on/off at will something I paid for. If I can fix the privacy issue, I'm happy.
