Windows 10

I have been dreading the day my Windows7 equipped laptop dies. It has. So I've had to go to 10.With the fully expected consequences. No MJ. I've suffered the inability to tune my car so much since installing a MJ . I can never switch it on and know it will work and here we go yet again. Is there any...
