Looks like I'm now officially old school!! Windows 10 pop up says less then a week to opt in to a "free" version of Windows 10! But, this 5 yr. old p.c. might not be able to handle the strain and there'll be nothing more then a 'puff of smoke' - if I go for the free upgrade.

I'm tempted to risk the late entry fee - as given the age of my current laptop - it might need to be replaced; i.e. in the next few months, or so.

All recommendations and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance
