Switching over the 76 year old (boss's wife) to a new Linux system from Win7 was what I dreaded most - so far it's seemed to be no problem at all and Win10 won't be needed there 😁.
Because NLUG (Howard) turned me on to Clonezilla I was able to upgrade our Win8 to Win10, clone the Win10 in case ever needed then erase it to install Linux. For anyone (not familiar with Clonezilla) needing to upgrade older Win to Win10, I highly recommend Clonezilla before and after upgrading. Many thanks for everyone's input.
