I took a deep breath and decided to jump right in. What could I lose except a few bucks and the time and effort spent installing it. If successful it would go on a new computer build I’m planning in the near future. There’s no need for me to mess around with my current Windows 7 setup when it’s perfectly fine the way it is. So for now I will only experience the install and setup process.
