Someone sounds like a Computer Salesperson on this board. As for Breadcrumb, I plan on buying a refurbished Laptop with Windows 10 on it also. You have to go to a store that sells computer parts or software and buy a Windows 10 key. It comes on a USB drive and I found one that apparently costs $100 + taxes. Microsoft charges the stores that sell these keys, they don't give software away.

I am not a sales rep,  I spotted the deals when I was looking up the model number.   

You can safely ignore this advice...

It would be worth stating why you disagree with what I posted or is this one of those boards that makes it ok for an admin that doesn't agree with a person trying to help by dismissing an opinion without any rationale ?!

He would like to avoid buying another PC...Win 10 runs fine on 4G of RAM.

For the vast majority of users, 4GB of RAM is plenty to run Win 10.  I personally have several systems with 4GB of RAM that run Win 10 without issue.  In addition, adding more RAM won't automatically improve a computer's performance anyway, it depends on the mix of applications being run at a particular time whether additional RAM is worthwhile.
