Hello Allan...
Just came across this: (some intro music, but right after that there is a popup slide from the bottom that has the upgrade information and so that you can read it, I would go full screen while viewing this youtube)

Our grandson which is taking computer programming in his senior year of high school, mentioned to me about two weeks ago to stay away from Windows 10. He and his other classmates are beta testing, I believe Windows 11.5 or so and from what I saw on his desktop and it is loaded with everything at home, hardware that is, that the 11.5 sure looks great and quite easy to use. Cheers...  |

Hi aRMY83, I noticed the user on YouTube has pulled the vid you posted, but here is another good one If it works in the real world as good as it does in the preview here, I'll be looking forward to this. To get the best effect of the video, watch it in full screen mode that way it will appear as if installed to your PC  |
