Windows 10 upgrade.
|
|
Windows 10 Anniversary upgrade installed itself on the laptop yesterday, anyone else got this yet? I like the new format with all the apps and also the fact that the Edge browser now has an extensions store where you can get Adblock for free but fuck me, it took just over 2 hours with many auto re-starts to fully install.

Windows 10 was put onto my desktop machine that was running win seven
A few months later switched on only to find that win 10 had done an upgrade.
3 printers and a lot of software was now not working, it would not go back to
How it was before the backup or to win 7 finished up having to format the h/drive
Re-install win seven, and take out the bits that does the upgrade.

I think the main issue is that the whole thing now is geared up to keep us buying new software and new hardware, when neither is actually necessary, especially if things were well made and designed to last rather than designed to be replaced quickly. See mobile phones too.
My hi-fi which was made by a British company in Salisbury has been going strong for more than 20 years. Does it's job perfectly and hasn't missed a beat in all that time. Doesn't fit with a modern business strategy though..

I laugh at all the people that moan about windows and expect the new operating systems to work seamless on old 5-10 year old buggy hardware.
Windows 10 is working great for me despite me being reluctant to move to it as Windows 7 worked really well.
The one thing I don't like is Microsoft tracking everything you do and being willing to share this with the authorities. This crosses the privacy line for me.
Make sure you go through the privacy settings and switch things off.

I'm looking into getting a hackintosh so I can run MacOS without being arse raped for the hardware. Won't get the same warranty, but there seem to be some good suppliers.

Johnson, it is a self build desktop pc so there was no software, but you are right the graphics card needs upgrading as windows new operating systems are not compatible. Don't do gaming so will bin it and start again which is what they want, except I will buy a Mac.

If you've got an XP machine chances are it'll need upgrading Riddle

Upgrading to W10 is a gamble, many people have no problems fior me it was a total nightmare, reverted to W8.1.

XP for the last 15 years approx with no problems. Microsoft stopped support for XP so decided to upgrade to 7, PC keeps crashing now, they offered the free 10 upgrade but declined.
Will get a Mac next time.

For those who haven't found it yet, I use Stardock Software's Fences and Start 10 both of which I find very useful. Haven't tried the others.

I have no issues at all with W10, but I missed out 8 completely (apart from helping people who had it make it look more like 7).
Best Windows OS ever was XP simply because it was such an improvement on anything that came before it

If you have a tablet or smartphone, W7 didn't really work.
W8 was brought to work on all devices, it was shit. W8.1 was a big improvement.
W10 works excellently on all devices for me, without any glitches.

W10 no better than W7 and full of bugs, some of which you won't notice unless you use certain apps.
Microsoft are just trying to make more money by doing upgrades which are cosmetic at best, just like Apple with their iPhone 7.
Waste of money!

Same as claret50 - it's been very decent for me, although I use Chrome rather than Edge, which seems shit.

Bungo ~ fully agree Win 7 was the best by far, but they had to keep tinkering & made things worse
Nothing was worse than Win 8 though

Windows 7 was the best. They probably know this but have to keep producing pointless new versions to keep making money out of it.
