Just wait untill you have a few hours without much of a workload, and give
the instruction; no exactly hard . . . unless you're a Microsoft user,
then any upgrade endangers every program, program key, and would probably
require ; . . . oh I just remembered, on Mickysoft you're talking about
either the OS or the programs, not both at once, much easier when upgrading
both all the softwares and the OS requires only one reboot.

You must run a LOT of old out of date software then.
I work in the the telecommunications / carrier industry, in our industry
upgrade is essential for production environments.;
all depends on what industry you're in.
For example if I were paid to make Mickysoft applications available to a
campus of people who all thought twenty year out of date application suites
were essential to their work, then upgrades would be a really bad thing.

But what sort of person would run a single user operating system in a
network environment? In Microsoft systems a end user can change the
operating system itself, just load some program or virus and suddenly the
machine is destroying data or some such nonsense, all because twenty five
years ago Microsoft didn't understand that the world would one day be
networked.
