That probably explains the "Star Wars" screen lock image with "Like
what you see?" (clicking leads to Star Wars online advert).

But then, if you're on a resources-constrained machine, it should be
noted that Vista 10 ^B^B^B^B Windows 10 uses less RAM and HDD space
compared to Win8 / 8.1

Given all downsides wrt Microsoft's OS(s), Win10 actually looks like a
step ahead in that sense (resource usages) contrary to what has been
happening since WinNT (each new version using more resources, not
less).
