Earlier quoted context omitted.

They should just copy a linux distro. Mint would be a good one. Have a little icon that tells me when I'm out of date, then I can click it and update at my convenience. I think iphone does this, right? To operate their OS? So it is possible to make this work for "normal" users, whomever they are.

Mint can't auto-upgrade, so I don't think they're a good example...

No- it tells you when you need to upgrade so you can do it manually. That's the point. (Sorry for the late reply.)

meanwhile here I am on W10 Pro on my workstation which I can't update because main windows partition has 30GB and apparently 5GB of free space was not enough for update and can't use other partitions to update it if I didn't need SDL Trados Studio I would be done with Windows, after recent update switched from MS Office to Libre Office and can't complain so last produt from MS I use is W10 Pro

open a command prompt as "admin" (run as admin), and type: powercfg -h off this will give you your total ram amount back in extra disk space. You'll lose hibernation support.

thanks for good idea, though it seem it was using only 1/3 of my already small RAM
