Download link for Win10 April 1803 release. It is a newer version after the last major update 1709. With improved UI and added features that you might feel as if minor and if you reinstall like I did the Installation forces you to setup a PIN code apart from your usual password. But after reboot you are required to select log-in using PIN or Password. There is "Multitasking" options added. Neater setting screens.Currently there is a July Cummulative update.

AMD Ryzen

I am an Intel man through and through, having worked there since the 8086/8088 till 80486 generation. I would never betray my alma matta. During those early years building your own PC was the only way to go since most PC brands comes preconfigured for price performance compromise and hardware.

My son builds his own PC based on AMD processor (dont ask me for the version, I never bothered) because it is cheaper since he was student and it stuck to him as an AMD guy. Out of curiosity I am covering this new AMD Ryzen processor since it has received rave review from hardliners both side of the corridors.
