widows 10

[weldingisfun]

Windows Vista was one of the worst versions of Windows ever. It was so bad that most businesses refused to upgrade to it, and those that did often reverted back to XP.

You are right and I was wrong. But, I get to write it off to old age. XP was the best version ever. In the words of that great Texas statesman, Rick Perry, "Oops!".

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.

windows 10 stinks.

It's okay as long as you don't use a M$ account and remember to turn off a few dozen spyware settings.

I took the upgrade from 8.1 to windows 10. Took a couple of days to get used to it, like all new things. I would say don't be afraid of it. Once you get used to it you won't even remember you had something else. Time marches on. Or you could live under a rock.

You are dead on with this one. So many items to disable that default to on.

I took the bait. Went from 8.1 to 10 on my laptop. Touchpad driver was not compatible along with a few other things. New drivers were not available yet. Long story short it created lots of problems. Rollback to 8.1 did not work as advertised. I'm back to 8.1 again after a days worth of work getting there. I'll wait until they make me this time.

What kind of touchpad issues were you having? Mine updated to windows 10 and every time I have to restart my computer I have to go back and reset my touchpad settings.:banghead:

I have heard mostly bad things about Windows 10. I have 7 now. When support for that is dropped, I will seriously consider trying Linux.

Not trying to detract from the topic...but IMO...every Windows user should keep a bootable Linux disk on hand...
...Baring hardware failure...if Windows fails to load or only displays BSD's...just pop in the Linux disk and in a couple of minutes you will be looking at an easy to navigate desktop...not dissimilar to a Windows desktop...with a browser icon...an existing Internet connection will already be up and running...(no need to configure anything)...not only will it give you full access to the Internet but you'll also be able to read/copy (and or move to a thumb drive) data on the hard drive...

Lots of different distributions to try...all available to download for free or purchase disks for the cost of packaging/mailing...there are also condensed versions that will fit on USB thumb drives...most PCs can be booted to said thumb drives (rather than a cd/dvd)...
