I have had a couple teeth gringing moments when some old games don’t work but other than that I think Windows 10 way better than 8

I still think Windows 7 was better than both and may go back to that. However my laptop is 4 years old and the desktop-video server is 3 years old so that may be a part of my issues

An issue with Windows 10 is that the initial release still has a lot of parts of what was promised missing. The next major update to Windows 10--due November 2015 (and will likely be called Windows 10 November 2015 Update), will add a lot of new functionality and will fix a number of known bugs of the first release.

I installed it only a few days ago. It’s way better than Windows 8 but not as good as Windows 7.
And then there’s the deal with support for legacy tools.
It won’t run MS Virtual PC 2007 and it my Intel RAID user interface program doesn’t run. I don’t like not having a RAID 1 mirror running.

To many privacy issues.  I will stay away from Win10 for a while. 

Now, by default settings they want you to share your bandwidth with strangers over the Internet.

I upgraded to 10 from 8.1, which was horrible. Haven’t had any issues with 10 yet, but I really liked 7 when I had it.

I bought this present machine operating in Windows 8 no more than one third of a year ago.

I d*** well am NOT interested in the glorious, stupendous, magnificent upgrade to another Windows product, already being sick and fed up that i had to go into Windows 8.

Windows 8.1 is actually better than Windows 7. You can toggle between the familiar desktop setup and the tile apps. I just bought a fully loaded ASUS desktop and it is off da hook!

Upgraded to Win 10 on a Dell 2 in 1 touch screen 11.6” device that I got last November with Win 8.1. I never liked 8.1

But I like it better with Win 10.

LOL.. I just had to uninstall Windows 10. I kept getting a blue screen of death. After 2 minutes or so, it would lock up and crash. I finally got it into troubleshoot mode and tried to roll back to Windows 7. Ended up losing all my data and had to reinstall from scratch.

Thanks for nothing, Microsoft.

Windows 10 lasted for about a day in our house. One of the programs we use every day doesn’t work on windows 10 unless you get the new “app” version, which is subscription based instead of straight purchase or free.

Nope not gonna happen

I’m very happy with Win10.

Wife has a laptop with 8.1 on it. She absolutely hates it. Enough that she had me put linux on it in a dual boot setup. Now she uses linux for most things, and windows only when she has to. She wants to go back to the simplicity of one OS though. Thinking about buying a copy of 7 outright, wiping everything and starting from scratch. 10 is kind of that dark horse, do I dare risk it, or would she hate it as much as 8.1....

I “upgraded” to Windows 10 soon after the release and it was a horrible experience.

When it was done all it would literally do was sit there and flash the screen (it flashed on and off) with the spinning wheel most times. I couldn’t even click on the start menu to shut it off. I had to use CTRl ALt DEL.

I let it sit for an hour in that confused state to see if it would update with a patch of some sort and nothing. Just kept flashing. It was unusable.

I ended up wiping that and going back to Windows 7. I haven’t tried it since.

I read before the upgrade that NVIDIA video cards and associated drivers had comparablity issues with WIN 10. So I knew about that possibility. But I only have one monitor (not two or more which most of the issues revolved around) and I updated to the latest driver for my card before upgrading Windows. I guess it was still an issue but the bit of post update research I did (while it sat flashing for an hour) didn’t address my issue at all.

This is a perfect example of why I hate PC’s and the Windows OS. Just like all past OSes (with XP and Windows 7 being somewhat excepted) unless everything is installed perfectly and configured correctly they don’t work at all or very limited. I only went back to the PC when it became clear to me that there simply aren’t any good gaming video cards on Mac’s.

From now on though I will sacrifice some video quality for computer reliability. And not “upgrade” again the Windows until at least this November if not ever.

Windows 10 will be a success as it is Windows 7 and 8. Also you can use touch if you have the screen for it on your laptop or big monitor. Tablets of course will use the feature. It also run android apps on some devices.

I do not like the privacy issues as I suspect even though you turn off the spying they are still recording everything and one day oops we “accidentally’ turned it all back on and zippppp your private info is uploaded to be sold to advertisers.

I also do not like the simply things that are blocked like changing the font or the drop shadows with white text or changing the color of the title bar (there is a workaround for that).

I hope someone finds where microsoft stores all our info they are monitoring and figures out a way to delete it.
