I haven't had a blue screen for years and years. The only time I had to resort to Microsoft for help was for an update failure. A very nice female techie there took over (with my permission), told me to go and have a cup of coffee and took half an hour to sort things out leaving me very grateful and happy. Very good PR on Microsoft's part which I wish EA had too.
The latest Windows 10 updates now go in update order from earlier to latest so one doesn't have the problem any more when updating older PCs and laptops. (that was the problem I had had as it had tried to give me the latest first). My experience went toward helping Microsoft in that regard. Everybody wins! :)
I also don't understand why people uninstall games they have paid for, unless they have space issues. If I bought something I am going to keep it on my machine even if I don't play it. It doesn't hurt them but hurts you. How does one know that there might be a huge improvement someday. I am an optimist. :)
I believe there is a limit on how many re-downloads you can do. Is that true?
