Upgraded to Windows 10 tonite...feeling like it was a mistake as WITP is now lagging like a beast....any tweaks that those who have successfully upgraded wanna throw my way?

Lots in several threads in tech support. Read a bunch of them about several switches to try, compatibility mode to try, and make sure your shortcut is addressing the game executable (that's "War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe", NOT "autorun.exe").

will do ..thanks

Whats better than 7 in 10 ? I use 7 still and it is fine, or better I use XP+7 for older games XP works better. Eg. this game is run on XP here (you can install 2 Win OS on the same HD).

Win 7 also wanted me to update but I have no intention, the old rule applies "never change a running system" [;)]

Actually the same as all the other providers. It's the same as the way that Google, Amazon, and others targeted ads, relevant content in searches and so on. You can turn off the Microsoft options that share data. I have done so.

If you use eg. Firefox there are a lot of apps that will help.
Eg. Addblock, Noscript. Believe for Chrome too. But its from Google, so.... [:D]

I have nothing to reinstall. Laptops, at least this one, didn't come with an OS disk. That's why I was hoping 10 would be new install. Unfortunately, it was just an upgrade.

Guess your problem is solved meanwhile. But here is the solution: Get a cheap Win7 DVD from Ebay (mine cost 25 Euros 2 yrs ago it is a Dell OEM disk but works on any PC), back up your stuff!!!! Then install Win7 as a 2nd OS to your other. The other partition will be left alone from this install. You then should have a working Win7. You can then install a bootmanager and chose between the 2 partitions you now have [;)] To keep the old partition is just for savety. You could also format it completely.

Edit, you can even install 3 OS on the same PC. 2 on HD 1 and another one on HD2 for example... I had 2xXP and 7, when one of the XPs had trouble, I had 2 other working OS still. [:)]
