I installed Win 10 on my Dell desktop a couple of days ago. So far the only problem I have encountered is that permissions on directories were set so that I could not write or save to them, even though I was Administrator. There were no fixes I could find online, so I had to resort to going to each directory and changing the permissions.

mmm, thats teerible, anymore problems and you should do a clean install.

Supposedly once youv’e done the upgrade, M.S. marks your bios or somewhere so that a clean install works w/o requiring a product key.

My dell tower went smoothly and so far only a few hiccups and some improvements.

The hiccups were Avast VPN which works now. I map a shortcut for the snipping tool that I have learned to love. For whatever reason it was not in any program, accessory, or windows feature as a shortcut or menu item. I found it in the windows directory.

I miss the guest account. It made my wife create yet another account. She has her PC but my printer works better and mine is newer. However I am against granting admin privileges. I hear those Avast AV dings a lot and she installs stuff on hers that I find questionable and I get rid of.

As for improvements, Sony Vegas Preview window is clear and clean. The color representation is more normal.

Pretty much everything carried over even though backups were ready.
