I didn't do any stinking reformatting.  I just said upgrade the darn thing...  10 did all the work.

Yes, but what would you do if you ever had to rebuild it?
Now you no longer have the media to do it with.

Actually I do.  I downloaded the iso a week before (burned), and I had my data backup up on an external drive.

The thought of upgrading to Win 10 is depressing ... since my Win 7 works perfectly, and I'm very familiar with it.

I'm perfectly happy with Win 7 on my laptop and Win 8.1 on my desktop but I don't want to be left with no support when the time comes.

Buy a new $50 hard drive. Install Windows 10. Install all your important software. Celebrate with a beer.
If it doesn't work, put the old hard drive back in...

Correct me if I'm wrong (it's happened  :-X) but I don't think Virtual Windows XP, which works with Win 7, will work with Win 10.

the issue is all the Cad software installed on various machines, given to me by employers, fully licensed, but I have no discs for re-installing them all... on newer platforms, of which some of the older software will still not work with the new o/s

I bear no ill will to MS over upgrading their products.  Time marches on as do OS'.  It does on the products (IBM) I work with.  I'm used to it.   You know I just bought a 2016 Tacoma and I absolutely love it.  Got rid of a 1991 Dakota and a 2005 RAV4.  The Dakota was past obsolescence.   The RAV had issues that needed to addressed and didn't want to deal with it.  I was born in a time when cars had points and road draft tubes and ran on leaded gas, cheaply I might add.  However, I do enjoy certain aspects of technology such as wireless  and Bluetooth connectivity, PCs that run like scalded dogs (no dogs were harmed), color printers, scanners, scanning software that really works, microwave ovens, indoor toilets and plumbing, satellite radio, satellite tv, HD tv, HD radio, smartphone apps and on and on....  Unless you live like a hermit in the middle of Appalachia, you will be affected by advances in technology whether you like it or not.  I like it.

My previous lap top cried enough a month or so ago, so I replaced it with this one which came with Windows 10 already installed

Its fine it somewhat different to what I had become used to for several years, TBH I don't see W10 as being any  better ...just saying  ;)
