I honestly found windows 7 to run faster than 10 on my current set up. Im still on a 120gb ssd for my OS that cost like $200 when purchased so my boot times are fast enough. Im trying to unplug more and socialize/be more active so putting off the upgrade helps me with that in some ways. Glad you’re happy with your upgrade results.
Nice! Same here with the unplugging. It helps that I work on a computer all day. The last thing I want to do when I get off work is to get back on a computer. It’s kinda sad, because they used to be one of my favorite hobbies, but whatever. I wouldn’t voluntarily trade my career for more enjoyment on my personal computer.
I just moved to a smaller community and I’m hoping that’ll present more opportunities for socializing, since I’ll see the same people more than once. In the big city you’ll never see the same people anywhere. In small communities you run into the same people all the time, and that can eventually turn into friendship.
I have an oposite situation where my work has me working actively and I meet new customers everyday so I’m usually burnt by getting home.
Smaller communities are really good for meeting more people. Good luck on finding more friendships. I find it hard to meet people in real life during this digital age. I wish it were as easy and common have friendly conversations with a stranger as it is online here.
So far it has been awesome! It’s kind of like a step back in time. We’ve had 3 different neighbors come over and bring us a small housewarming gift while introducing themselves, and swapping contact information. None of them seem crazy or anything, just genuinely friendly people. All of the workers at local businesses seem happier and friendlier too. We were worried about moving away from the city, afraid we might end up in some backwards-ass trumpville, but everything has been great so far. It’s probably the best decision we’ve made in years. The only noticable “drawback” so far is that business buildings are generally older and a little shoddier, not as nice and modern as they were in the city. We’re okay with that given all the positive trade-offs. I never thought I’d move back to a smaller community, but here we are!
