Goodbye Windows 7, Hello Windows 10 (Patreon)

Dear patrons, I am something of a luddite... https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/luddite 

...when it comes to the adoption of any new software.  For this reason I am still using Windows 7, Daz Studio 3 and Adobe Photoshop CS2.  Software from over 10 years ago!  I don't like change but, with the demise of Windows 7 today I am making the move to Windows 10.

Why is this significant to you?

Well, firstly I just spent several hundred dollars on a new superfast M.2 drive and a legal copy of Windows 10.  Your patronage paid for this.  The sum I spent was equivalent to two months' Patreon receipts.  Thank you.

The more significant thing is that the last remaining barrier to my installing and using Daz Studio 4 will be removed.  I always told myself I didn't want to spend ages setting it up on my crowded Win 7 drive only to go through the pain of moving the installation with all the broken links and annoyance that would cause.

So, hopefully, by this weekend I should have Daz Studio 4 working on this PC.

I kind of like my current style how it looks right now so I will retain Daz 3 as before working alongside.  However it's possible, likely even, that I might start to produce artwork with that distinctive 'iRay' look.  Well, hopefully it will be a bit better than a lot of what I have seen out there.  After all, you're paying me.

As you may understand, the ballache of reinstalling my entire system and getting set up may occupy me for a few days.  So there could be a temporary interruption in service followed by a splurge of DS4-created stuff.

We'll see.

Anyway, I thought you ought to know.
