Hi Dan,
Sadly, many vendors, (as opposed tae manufacturers) will sell older stock as "Win10 compatible/upgradeable". Which saves them the time and subsequent manpower costs needed tae do the updates they should... thus leaving it tae the consumer. That's when the problems occur. It's usually smaller vendors (online) with stock tae shift who are the culprits. Normally a local high street vendor could not risk the damage tae his/her reputation. So buy from a reputable online or local high street vendor. :cool:

It's complaints about brand new machines being delivered directly from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Samsung, etc. with apparent compatibility issues right out of the box.Quote:

All that said, I bought a new Dell 7000 13in laptop with Win10 and it's excellent thus far. Normal growing pains of learning a new system but hardware is fine.
