Hello there


Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question. My better half has two windows 7 pcs one for work and one for home. We'd like to upgrade the home one to Windows 10 but keep work on Windows 7. Does anyone know if when you upgrade one pc on the same Microsoft User Account it automatically upgrades the other too?


Any advice would be much appreciated!


Many thanks

Before you upgrade - especially if it's a laptop, check to see if there are signed drivers available for it, especially for the graphics card/chip. Win10 does a much better job, native driver wise than Win8.1. Also note that most laptops don't tend to have more than 4 gigs of ram. Because of the [controversial] way win10 handles processes it will run like a crippled child unless you have more than that.


It goes without saying you need to backup all files, bookmarks etc before the upgrade and you'll need to take into account the extra space on your HD needed for the OLD folder [in case you wish to downgrade within the 1 month period allowed].

    • Well thanks for enriching the conversation.  Would you chuck Fah - rage in too for his tax avoidance on his property?   I expect it was lead story on Jeremy Vine too.  Doesn't make it a story, just a bit more of BBC tabloid style sensationalism.  There are numerous real news stories in the UK and across the world.  And now, apt for Halloween, you have summoned up the ghost of Louisa. So for the third time, will you now eat humble pie?
