I've just reached 150 stars - I'm not sure how to save screensaver (which button) and where the file will be located, so I can attached as proof of having reached my target. I would appreciate clear, steady guidance.

@wydaho @porvillewright et. al.
What I experienced with the upgrade was a total nightmare, spending at least 4 days off and on the phone, via remote assist, etc., going from 8.1 and rolling into 10. And when 1511 version was released in November, there were also some updates short of the upgrade then.
With luck however my one HDD on laptop was soon to crash, (I have 2 on laptop). So I cloned my drive over to the other, after having formated and partitioning it. The partitions are a necessity for recovery space, among other system files.
I then downloaded the install files of Win 10 on a USB and bought a 1 TB HDD to replace my active drive. So I ended up with doing a clean install, onto a brand new drive, using the software downloaded from Toshiba to assist me.
As for saving your game now, at one time one only need to copy and paste the savegame.bin file from the local state folder. After we finally got game upgraded around holidays, one now needs to copy and paste the entire local state folder somewhere other than on the active drive.
One drive works, dropbox, or other cloud drives; an external HDD connected via your home network is nice to have,( usually 1TB is enough to cover a house of 4 devices or more). Or one can simply back up the folder on a thumb drive, SD card, or an RW CDRom.

One of the most major pains in upgrading an OS when it is first released, is that all the other software and hardware companies, and device manufacturers are making a mad scramble to code driver updates, and software updates, patches and fixes, so they continue to work with the new OS.
This becomes one of the major drawbacks, in most companies upgrading multiple systems, for fear the OS is buggy and can cause loss of information, and income as well.
Next time you go see a doctor, you might notice the system they use still might be XP or Win 7. And they'd rather pay Microsoft for those updates, then risk losing time and money.

That being said, now the way I see it, most software and hardware companies and device manufacturers, after a year of windows 10 and roughly 7+ months of version 1511, it would be safe to say the kinks are worked out and everyone is caught up with patches and fixes.

Happy Birthday @Wired Parrott !!!!

@Wired Parrott
Many wishes on your birthday, may you be blessed with.
Gifts are out from !KB and !KB2, although I thought I was bleary eyed and seeing double @wkndcmpr on the parking meters. Lol I sent one, and went back through list and saw it again.
Kind of like 2AM this morning I woke and got caught up in a red launch, thinking I QL'd the launch, only to find myself short by 4 minutes. So now alas !KB has to ride it out until 2AM Friday before launching again.

Happy birthday, @Wired Parrott!

Thanks for weighing in on the Windows 10 question, @ItsRalphy, @Harcourt and @KenDuckySmith! I really appreciate all the insights.

There are probably others who can answer this better, but here's what I do:
Press the Windows button and Prt Sc (print screen) button at the same time. The screen briefly flashes black and the screen cap is saved under Pictures in a folder labeled Screenshots. Hope that helps! Congrats on 150 stars!
