And for anyone interested, I was able to update my laptop to Windows 10 for free by following the link in the article I posted above:

I did it while I was at work and it took about 4-5 hours to download and install. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but after a quick look around I don't completely hate it. It doesn't look like there's too much different from 7 except for the way that things are organized.

Yeah, I was hesitant to go to 10, but it really isn't a huge difference. I'm sure there are many features I don't use, though.

My bank stopped allowing access to online banking using XP, which was why I switched to 7, but so far 7 is still working with it.
