You can turn the so called tracking things off, during install. 10 isn't that much different than 7. Win 10 was faster, than 7, for me. Unless it has been less than 30 days, your product key is tied to 10, also. Win 7 support will go away, before long, and you need win 10, for DX12.

I have one more question...got the left over western digital 7200 rpm hard drive. It has windows 10 on it...can i use it as a secondary drive with the operating system on it, or do i have to format? I relatively sure i can use it, was told to use it as storage, just don't know about leaving the operating system on it. Thx

It may cause problems as I learned that windows can be funny, but 10 mins on the phone to Microsoft to explain the situation they'll activate your windows with no fuss, their normally pretty good with this probably because they get inundated with calls all the time by us teckies whenever we upgrade our computers :)

Well, i guess its not the worst, but its very slow, even loading operating screens, i scratch my head!!??? I had a really good experience with windows 7, know how to use it, just want it back. Also i heard that Microsoft key logs your entries now, probably causing some of the slowness.
