Re: A heads up for those installing Windows 10

I was hoping 10 would make my old laptop run better as I know 8 was much
better than 7 in my experience.

I'd throw linux on the old boy but I use it for other things too that
require windows. :)

Only 2 more PCs to go... they had Pro on them instead of Home so I had to
do a different iso/install method.

I read the experience. Glad you went first. :)

I too have an old laptop that I figured at some point would be my guinea
pig for Windows 10. We have a Meraki router at work (owned by Cisco). The
VPN set up for that does not require the Cisco VPN client, so I wonder if
I'd be OK?

Since I have no pressing need I think I'll just wait. Had enough
excitement for this week at home last night by discovering my home desktop
with "Bootmgr missing" displayed. After about an hour dinking around, I
reseated the SATA cables on the motherboard and all was well. Immediately
refreshed my system image. :)

Long story short, if you're like me and use a VPN from Cisco (for Virtual
Loaners, et al) you'll want to remove it from your PC first or you'll run
into issues.

I wrote about my experience with this here:

I know a lot of us use VPNs for work so I thought I would try and save

some

of us the trouble.
