Oh one more thing, vignetting is substantially worse on the kit v the DFA 24-70 on the wide end. Easily correctable in post, but nevertheless a visible difference.

You can use your filters with a smaller lens without issues, just get a step down adapter, a couple of quid on Amazon. As for the lens, I personally thought it wasn't worth it. Tried both, returned the 24-70, the only thing it has going for it over the kit is the extra 4mm on the wide end. For landscapes, unless you are shooting moonlit ones, you probably won't benefit from the fact that it's faster. It's also substantially heavier, not to mention pricier. I opted for kit and an ultrawide and still had spare change. IQ wise I just could not see the difference between the two. Granted, I have not used it in low light; which is where it will most likely be an advantage.

I don't want to take away from your skill, which obviously is great, but he is such an amazing dog!

Beautiful shot and what a gorgeous young lady. She's got quite a 'look' in her eyes

I can assure you Chris this is not a Windows 7 feature.
This is how Win 7 interface looks:

No boxes of any sort prompting you to do anything.

This is how Win 10 interface looks:

There are boxes, in some cases you may be prompted to setup various accounts if you want. If not, you are free to customize which boxes appear and you can alter their layout somewhat.

Best of luck with whatever choice anyhow

I'd sooner move to iOS or Linux then Windows 10, as such, the 2020 date does not deter me. I am hoping, possibly quite naively, that by then, the next Windows will have evloved from the disaster that last two where. If cost is a factor, then yes. You have no choice. If 15 quid is not a problem for 2.5 years then I would skip Windows 10 for now.

I have no idea what you are talking about in regards to being forced to social media though, would you mind elaborating? This is most certainly not a Windows 7 specific issue

Why not just move to Windows 7? All of your programs will work just fine; it does not have the silliness associated with 10, from a massive interface jump to privacy issues and forced updates.
