Upgraded all Windows 7 computers in my house to Windows 10.
Mostly a big pain in the ass for me, a tech guy.
I did it thinking that since Microsoft was pushing free upgrades, that they’d be on the fast path to have hardware guys update their drivers, etc. etc.
Turns out no, not the case. Most hardware still uses Windows 7 drivers, most of which still work but some of which are now broken and need you to perform voodoo to get the equipment working properly. I can’t tell you how many times I have to unplug and replug my 1-year-old USB webcam and what incantations I have to mutter to talk to my oldest son via Skype.
Then there’s the interface. I swear to you, if I have to drop to a search line to find Calculator or Notepad again, I’m going jihadi on the Redmond campus. There’s absolutely no reason I should ever need to click Cortana search (and I didn’t even install Cortana) to find a program that’s already installed on my computer, ESPECIALLY if it’s an old Accessory group program.
Ugh.
