widows 10

[The kid]

I've come to the conclusion after two weeks of Win10 (still buggy) that they are slow to give developers the tools to create apps for MS, so they can reap billions selling thier penny apps. I had a 2TB wireless server driver off my wireless router that Win10 would not recognize. It seems if it doesn't have the MS brand it doesn't work very well. I had the Win10 professional version. MS allows you to revert back to Win7 within 30 days or your screwed. Beware though and do a total backup because what Win10 removes during an upgrade, it doesn't put back totally. I'll wait a while till it becomes a bit more friendly to existing programs and more vendors jump on board. Win10 is trying to corner the market just as Apply has and holding back code to assure security. So my evaluation is to wait a bit longer. The current Win10 is still considered Beta (work in progress) and if you've installed it you will get a regular dose of updates almost daily.

The only problem I incurred was with my Canon Lazer printer.

Email to Canon suggested a generic driver that did work after a few attempts.
Cannon did say a specific driver was in the works to be released in December.

This is my exact problem with Win10. They where slow to get developers of existing software to tools to keep up withb the ongoing Beta of Win10. So back to 7.

I never had a problem with Vista either but I'm not a Tech geek.

I read an article the other day that said MS might just force everyone to upgrade at some point. The cost of supporting older versions of Windows is greater than giving Windows 10 away for free. So for now at least the dialog box gives you a chance to postpone/decline but that may not be the case in the near future.

...every Windows user should keep a bootable Linux disk on hand...

And your personal phone number because 99.9% of Windows users don't have any idea what you just said really means!

I tend to want to slap just about everyone in my wife's family that keeps giving grandma technology and telling her to call ME if there's a problem. Hey, you gave it to her, you support it. :laughing:

Same here, in fact mine is peppier> turns on/off faster

It takes a little getting used to and there were daily updates for the first couple of months, there are fewer now...I like it fine

James, maybe you and Moss are just too handy!!!! Sometimes it pays to play stupid.

Course that only works for a few minutes, then our "get it done" personalities kick in and we end up doing it anyway.......
