widows 10

Had win 8 disliked it. Now have Win 10, dislike it even more. Vista was the best ever. :2cents:

I agree with you about Win 8. I have upgraded several machines to 10 and so far I like it. I still run 7 on my machine since my industrial programming software isn't yet compatible with 10.

I believe you are the only person that I have ever seen/heard make that statement about vista. In my opinion it was the second worst OS. Win ME takes 1st prize for the worst. Not downing you, we all have our opinions and experiences

My wife's laptop had Windows 8 and we upgraded to Windows 10 and it has been a huge improvement. I had Windows 7 Pro on my desk top and upgraded to Windows 10. I with I hadn't.

They won't tell you what has changed because I understand it is all about their security issues ("behind the curtain" stuff)...continual "patches" get hard to manage with all the 3rd party applications and doesn't take long to impact performance. So with 10 they get to start with a clean slate (and then the process will repeat with the inevitable security problems...seems it is a game amongst several people to find and exploit the weaknesses). I didn't notice any difference from 8.1 other than it comes with MS "Edge" as their default browser instead of IE.

The new windows 8 has no start button on your desktop I could just imagine what windows 10 looks like if windows 8 was weird looking.

WIN 8.1 brought back the "start" button and it is present in WIN 10.

I upgraded 2 desktops and 3 laptops from Win 7 or 8.1 to Win 10. No problems with any of them. I like it, it works as good or better than Win 7.

Do some of you spend all your time clicking around in the operating system? Jeez... Windows 10 is just another O.S. Quit being babies, suck it up and figure out how to make it work for you instead of crying for your mommies. OS's are just a way to access the programs which is where the real work gets done. If it's too hard for you, get out your iPads.

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.

Went from 8.1 to 10 3 days ago on desktop. Only issue is I lost my Autoplay function. Did my LT yesterday and it went smooth and everything works. It takes several hours to download and install. Be patient. Chatted with tech support about Autoplay issue yesterday and he said that I had and older version (version 10.0 Build 10240) and that updates should take care of the Autoplay. Other than that, I like it. It's go a few good features and nothing I hate, so far. Easier for me going from 8.1 > 10 than XP to 8. If your concerned, wait a while and let them debug more.

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.

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

I have windows to on my laptop, i was playing age of empires today, and managed to somehow change the aspect ratio, it is 4:3 and i have a 16:9 screen. any thoughts how to fix this.

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)...
