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].

    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
