I upgraded to Windows 10 on my former laptop and it was a horrendous experience - constant upgrades of my system every few days for an hour at a time. Trying up my machine. This was a constant problem, I finally took it to my local computer shop and said, get it off my machine. At this point, he talked me into getting new laptop. All to get rid of Windows 10. He said his other customers were screaming about it too. The constant upgrades were to inject spy stud into my machine so they could track my browsing history, he said.
“constant upgrades of my system every few days for an hour at a time.”
I have 4 Windows 10 machines.
They do not upgrade every few days for an hour at a time. Only one has even done an upgrade and that was at most 5 minutes.
“I finally took it to my local computer shop and said, get it off my machine. At this point, he talked me into getting new laptop. “
I would too! These guys know that people that don’t take the time to ask questions to set their machine up to run more to their liking, or dont care to learn how these things work, can be suckered into blowing money needlessly on a new machine to “fix” their problems.
And “inject spy stud”?
Seriously, people, stop taking your machines to these “repair shops” you find in the yellow pages. They are just ripoff artists that prey on novices and will tell you whatever goofy stuff you want to hear in order to get you to toss money at them.
I upgraded from 7 last week and haven’t had these constant upgrades. Maybe it was there for the very beginning of 10 and is fixed now.
Overall I like it. For example it fixed one annoying issue of volume being either too quiet or too loud with nothing in between and things seem generally faster.
