To echo what many have said already, but feel these points need extra emphasis...

The W3 tablet is perfect for ARC (and more). The W3 updated to Windows 10 was seamless and posed no problems (not even a driver issue for mine last weekend) Norton is bad. Avoid at all costs. To elaborate on Richard's metaphor (of sorts), Using Norton on a PC is like trying to drive with a club still on the wheel. If AV is important to you I'd suggest either AVG Free or Avast Free if you're cheap like me. Both do a good job of protecting you. But common sense does work so much better.

I held off upgrading to Windows 10 for a while and only did so last weekend so I can't really make any justified comments on if it's better than 8.1, but it is. Everything seems to work so far at least.

Fantastic! I think for the money the tablet for only 75 dollars is great. Did you have to buy the update to 10? Just thought if I came across extra money the 4gb memory might be nice but I guess not needed. Thanks ALL Ron

The upgrade to Windows 10 is free for any system with Windows 7 or 8.1 currently installed.

Great! How would you get the update If you buy a window 8.1 tablet? Thanks Ron

If it has Windows 8.1 already installed, you should get an icon on the bottom right of the taskbar (seen below), or an automatic popup message displayed on the screen asking if you want to upgrade. Just follow the onscreen instructions.

If you don't swe the upgrade icon (you may need to wait a while for it to show up, and Windows Update needs to be caught up with all patches first) I provided a link to a thread with download and install instructions a few days ago in this thread.

ALL of you are very helpful. I said this before, I can't get at JD until Santa brings it and 66 years old. Hope I make it! I also hope I find money to get a nice usable computer soon. I think we are all saying the W3-810-1600 is the one to get. I'm checking it out better now. I keep getting stuck on the 4gb 8.1 small laptops refurbished and the tablet and new or refurbished. Did you guys buy refurbished from the guy on ebay at 75.00 for the tablet? http://www.ebay.com/itm/262031597527 Thanks all Ron

@ darticus 66 is young and JD will keep you young! The skills you will learn keeps the mind sharp, and you have fun doing it.

Just remember Santa knows if you have been bad or good so don't disappoint JD.
