   Just before Christmas I decided to get a newer laptop than my current XP   
   T60 Lenovo Thinkpad.   
      
   I ordered a T540P Lenovo Thinkpad, with i5 4300M (2.60GHz), 8GB RAM, 1TB   
   SSD HD, 15.6in 1920x1080 FULL HD Screen, intel HD, DVDRW, and Win7pro/64   
      
   But they sent me one with Win10pro/64   
      
   I needed Win7 to avoid the risk of any incompatibility issues with   
   existing software.   
      
   Starting the new machine, I am already disliking the unfamiliar swirly   
   dots waking process. I still have to walk through the set up, and I   
   already dread all the things I will need to disable, such as Cortina.   
      
   Am I doomed?   
      
   Win7 for me purrrs and behaves quite nicely. It's an OS that I am   
   familiar with and can get to a task quickly.  This Win10 is an annoying   
   pot-hole that introduces further delay before I am up and running with   
   all my apps.
