I did the Windows 10 download yesterday and, boy, do I wish I had waited awhile.
Many (MANY) of my apps were disabled. MS Office, all my antivirus/anti-malware programs...all of the stuff I use in my everyday work life.
My advise is to ask those who know better than I do...and wait until Windows 10 is developed enough to accept all your programs...Help!
That said, all advice is invited. Please enlighten us re: Windows 10.
Is it possible to undo Windows 10 download?
my husband lost a lot of his apps and reverted back to the old Windows....for that reason, I’m not going to upgrade to it....maybe when its time for a new laptop....
It’s too bad that happened to you. Thanks for alerting us.
I’m keeping Windows 7.
“MS Office, all my antivirus/anti-malware programs...all of the stuff I use in my everyday work life.”
Those things are not disabled.
I tried to revert back to Windows 7 but my program told me that was unavailable.
Not disabled but not enabled in Windows 10.
I have upgraded all of our home and office computers with virtually zero problems. All six work better by several measures—ease of configuration, startup, and menus. No significant driver issues.
I took it back off, on my laptop, the touchpad wouldn’t work correctly.
I guess the fix would be to re-enable them or reinstall especially if you did a clean install.
I have upgraded 6 computers, most of them Windows 7, but a few 8.1’s as well. Not a glitch or a problem. Just my experience.
I have an old HP Laserprinter...completely out of date with Windows 10. I will have to buy a new printer, I guess.
That sucks... I recently upgrade to OS X 10.10 and it was issue free...
Something to think about.
My problem has been with outdated programs not supported by Windows 10. Many of them.
I downloaded 10. A day later my desktop computer was fried. The tech guys I hired said the motherboard was the problem. They seem competent but how the hell am I supposed to know. My (unbacked-up) data was retrieved and installed on a new laptop. It came loaded with 8...they keep bugging me to update, as they did right before my last machine went down. I think I’ll stay with 8.
I gained nothing by going to Win 10, and lost 8 hours of my life making it work across three attempts, including a restore from prior state. Took three weeks before audio and the video driver worked reliably.
My wife’s MAC upgraded flawlessly to the new OS, again ...
You are supposed to check the compatibility of your software first before upgrading. And you should upgrade your apps and programs to become more up to date.
I upgraded to W10 no problems.
I updated my laptop from 8.1 to 10 with no problems. Have Office 2007 that I had installed after getting the laptop with Windows 8, and it is working without a glitch. Had a hard time figuring out how to save pdf files to the hard drive but eventually figured it out after some search with Start Page.
click the new start button ,then all apps ,look in there for your apps
