Not sure why you are seeing "preview quality rollups", those don't
normally push through the standard Windows Update - you'd normally
see them on enterprise WSUS?

Unless you are paying Microsoft for extended support I wouldn't

This machine is a recon. from Chelmsford College so I suppose they

I even managed to get a 120 format negative scanner working on it.


I've just tried my Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 on Win 10.

It's probably worth double what I paid for it in 2008.
