Mud - I appreciate your concern and your help. However I have a very long history of hating updates. I think they are worthless. In fact I think all they are for is for job security for programmers. In fact I have a sneaking suspicion that programmers are the ones secretly creating the malware and viruses. I stopped doing updates after SP2 in WinXP. I have no fear at all of getting any virus or malware. In thirty some years of computing I have never gotten a virus and I have never used anti-virus software, which I consider worthless for me. I do not engage in activities that would cause a virus. And I have never gotten malware since I don't do things that would get me malware. I have been surfing using Chrome for as long as it has been out and it is virtually impossible to get malware with Chrome.
Don't waste your time telling me horror stories about all the possible ways I can get infected, I have heard them all before and I laugh at them every time. Because if I am completely wrong and I do get some disease I will simply reinstall the OS and I will be many many many hours ahead of the game. I store everything in the cloud so there is nothing on my computer they can possibly steal or use that would bother me. I use my Windows machine about an hour a month to run Lightroom and then it spends about five minutes online uploading to Picassa. I would be an extremely hard target to hit. I do all my surfing on my Chromebook and I feel that is about as safe as you can get especially since I follow safe surfing practices.
I would not want Lightroom on Chromebook. My Chromebook has a 13 inch screen. I prefer to post process on a 17 inch screen and there are no Chromebooks that large. And don't get me started on Linux on the desktop, that's not going to happen. I would go to a Mac before that. And I hate Macs.
I found out I already had SP1 on the machine. I forgot that when I reinstalled Windows last time I forgot to turn off updates immediately and it managed to sneak it in. What I was missing was 13 optional updates. I downloaded and installed them and I was able to make the reservation. I am now standing in line.
I am not saying that I think anyone else should hate or avoid updates, just that they are a waste of my time, as proven to me this morning. Hours of messing around just to get the machine updated so I could update to W10, which I don't really want, I just wanted to check it out and see how I like it. Once again Mud, I appreciate your concern. Have a nice day.
