If he's really doing his homework he'll already know to NEVER use the words "unified", "hybrid", or "seamless" either....or he'll turn into a pumpkin!

I'd rather he stay away from TS. "PDM in 5 minutes"... pls no

Maybe he could start shilling for TS by convincing his meathead followers that PDM stands for "Pretty Damn Macho", and conveniently sidestep any mention that TopSolid is a (gasp!) French company!

Us TS users are still waiting for our turn in the barrel with this guy! You never know-truth is stranger than fiction as they say.

I think this is what's known as "serial monogamy." You can have as many partners as you want, but just one at a time-no double dipping.

Mon Dieu!

Microsoft has made available "Extended Security Updates" thru Windows Update. This enrollment is free and gives you an extra year of security updates for Windows 10.

i REALLY would do as James says - disconnect all interwebz activity from this 'puter, and leave it for work only. After-all, you "earn a living from it", so it is work.
Then, get a chromebook or similar, for interwebz.
This way, you can stay on 10 running X9 for ever, with no morning graphics updates or similar, which could hose you.
My factory was 6x puters all networked, airgapped with a server, initially running XP then the newer workstations laterally 7, faultless for 12years.
Just the one standalone PC for the interwebz/email.

Explorer in 11 is horrendous. "search" is near total dog shit.

I had to look this up.

The windows information I found said that it's not free. I'm doing a little digging to find out if there is a free option.
