Yes, I think you should just upgrade. But specifically, I think you should get a grey market key (I recommend G2A) so that you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars on windows. I can't recommend win11 because I haven't used it yet. It's still quite new and there may be issues with it. Support for win10 ends on Oct. 14, 2025 so you'll still get at least 3 years of support for win10.
OK cool.. Thanks for the good advice! Off the top of your head, do you know what a key cost is for this grey market key from G2A?
First one that shows up for me is about $35 CAD
I see. I did check out that website, and I see they offer Home, Pro, and maybe a couple of others. Which one would you recommend? Thanks again bro!
Ok I see.. I know nothing about group policies..hahaha.. Anyhow would you know if I would use less RAM with WIN10? When I get on BF4 and start playing, I notice my RAM is almost peaked out to over 90%. I'm wondering why I am using so much RAM in game?
During the installation, it should've prompted you for an activation key. Unless it somehow still automatically activated your win10 from your win7 key, but that offer ended 5 years ago. To check, click the Start button > Settings (cog icon) > System > About. Under Windows Specifications, it should say if your version is activated or not. If it is, I would see about refunding that key.

I did check where you said here and I don't see where it says it is activated. It does say that my pc is monitored and protected. It shows under Device specifications that is has a Device ID number and Product ID number? OK I am just seeing further at the bottom where it says Change product key or upgrade your edition of Windows, I clicked on that and it says under Activation that Windows is activated with a digital license. So I didn't need to purchase that key code from G2A...lol.. I did purchase it with Paypal, so perhaps I can contact G2A and ask for a refund?
If it says Windows is activated with a digital license then your win7 activation was transferred. So yes, I would see about getting a refund for that key.
Yes sir, it says just that! Btw, I see some of the programs I had on WIN7 are no longer supported
I guess I will have to go through each one and update..Pain in the ass microsoft..lol
I haven't come across any programs that worked in 7 and didn't in 10. You can try running them in compatibility mode for windows 7.Yes sir, it says just that! Btw, I see some of the programs I had on WIN7 are no longer supported
One program I had was one of the gadgets offered by microshaft..lol.. I had a gadget that would allow me to see how much RAM I was using. Also showed the temps of each core, and Page size. Do you have any recommendations for a program/gadget like that for windows 10?

So I downloaded a program from the link you provided. It's showing I am using 54% RAM..This seems to be high as I didn't start a game of BF4??? I also opened the processes thingy..lol..wow they have a lot of stuff running. I'm sure I can stop most of them, like one drive, whatever that is??? LOL What do you think?
Sorry I haven't responded back, Felt really bad late Monday night. Not sure if it was influenza or covid/omicron. Definitely had a virus as fever was 102 maybe higher as I didn't even feel like checking it at times..lol..just stayed in bed with aches, chills feeling different parts of my body aching/pains.. who knows what I had. I am starting to feel better, so I guess I'll survive..lol.. I'm thinking maybe I'll add more RAM to the mother board. I think that will help out! Thanks again Dan!
