I have Windows 7 and am told I am eligible for the free WIndows 10
upgrade. My question: WIll this be a clean install and wipe everything
else off? Firefox/Thunderbird, Office, and all my little weather diddies?

Thanks

Always a bit of a risk Keith, depending. For example I have recently
purchased A Justop Min-PC to run my weather station and website 24/7.
It runs off 12v supply and only uses 6W. It has a small (32gig) SSD
drive, no moving parts and is totally silent. It cost £89 new and had
Windows 8.1 installed. This had the free upgrade to WIndows 10 which
went absolutely smoothly.And I like it. But it was a new and uncluttered
machine. My main Desktop is 4 -5 years old, has a nearly full main
drive, a Windows 7 OS which is now exhibiting some gliches although it
still runs extremely reliably. It's had lots of system and registry
changes and I am worried it won't go as smoothly and I'm going to hang
on for a bit!
