As it turns out, having to reinstall windows is a (relatively) painless way of updating the applications that you use... and trashing the ones you don't. Still would not recommend it as a fun time activity, though.
And for those people who say that you don't really need a CD copy of the software, because hey, you can just download it, right? -- just about everything went right back in *except* the one that was acquired via streaming download. I'll probably end up buying it again. (It's Quicken, whose idea of customer service leaves a lot to be desired.) So, yeah. You need the CD.

W-10 was a nightmare costing me a fortune and Geek squad did all the stuff for free, but I still paid for the stuff they could not do. They recommended NOT installing W-10 EVER to this machine. I hate the way this OS forces us to upgrade both software and hardware and I am going to be an Apple person the next PC.
I saw a satiric comic wherein a software developer muses that people don't really like software, but they use it because they must. A friend disagrees, saying that the customers love them, and would use it even if it caused them pain. They make a bet, and the next release of the software says BEFORE PROCEEDING, YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE....and lo and behold, everyone does. See, the second says, they love us!
