    I’m installing windows since last 20 years. This time I bought and install and it corrupted my PC. I went to Best Buy and found we have no return on the software. At the time of buying no sales person told me about this. Due to couple of my recent experiences with Best Buy, I now buy all my electronics from Amazone.

    Geek squad installed Windows 10 on my laptop to run a slideshow. Once installed it would not play the flash drive even though agent guaranteed it would. Had to in-install it and return it to original Vista but could not get a refund. Only store credit if $150

    I received this copy with a corrupted flash drive. So it wouldn’t work. But luckily I had a flash drive from my previous Windows copy on my last build. I used that flash drive, but used the key provided with the newest copy and got it to work.

    Windows 10 is awful and much harder to use compared to Windows 7. Only upgrade if you have something that requires an upgrade, which happens a lot nowadays unfortunately.
