I tried to upgrade my laptop back in August of last year. At that time I was still looking for work and the new internet browser wasn't compatible with many of the online employment applications. I attempted to restore back to Windows 8.1. This cause my system some major issues resulting me having to completely re-install windows 8.1 from my recovery discs I had made.
Now I am working, but I'd like to work more...from home. Since my laptop also came pre-loaded with Office 2013 pro, I'm giving the idea of getting certified in (MOS certification) in Office. While looking up information on certification partners, I now understand that MS is coming out with Office 2016 that integrates into Windows 10.
The question now becomes, should I upgrade Windows or not? What are some pro's and con's?
Sidebar: Sometime in 2016 I plan on doing two upgrades to laptop. First bumping memory from 6GB to 16GB. Wife and I have thousands of photos that needs to be scanned and saved along with video of our daughter. While researching memory, I found that one company makes a SSD drive (2T) that would be compatible as well. What ever I do upgrading wise, will need to be repeated when I install the SSD.
