Just noticed today a file in my C: drive called $Windows.~BT the presence of which alarmed me.

So I looked it up on the internet and discovered that its a file that Win 7 maintains, and its function is to make the transition to Win 10 easier and quicker.

Tech media: How will we now tell you if the OS we despise from the company we despise the most is “successful”? Well watch us move the goalposts fom raw numbers (that we would otherwise use for Apple or if we could show you no one is using Windows 10) to a bunch of other factors that have no correlation with anything other than it just makes it easier for us to bash this.

Tech media or the leftist press. Neither is good for much more than laughs.

I already have issues with Windows 10. I am not a computer geek by any means but my computer is less than 6 months old. I upgraded to the free windows 10 on Friday and now my computer seems to have internet connection issues it never had before. Is there something running in the background that I can look for? Also the browser doesn’t support Java! I have found a work around for that, but as I spend 50% of my time playing Pogo games that was a huge hit for me. I didn’t like Windows 8 because it was so different from the previous versions. I, like most people, had grown very comfortable with Window’s software. We fear change haha.

Mrs p6 and I upgraded to W10 with no problems. It boots way faster than W8.1 and Edge is lean and fast. The “new” start menu...meh. I suppose people who liked it will like it now. We liked the tiles and even charms. Overall no big deal either way.

The only issue we have had is with Cortana. It opens then closes within 2 seconds. I believe it’s a minor driver issue.

I did contact MS...higher level support...and they didn’t have an answer. Instead they are working with people with issues like the black screen that was actually solved in an early tech release.

More than likely all problems like Cortana will be resolved in October with the release of Threshold 2. FWIW that was the original release date for W10 but enterprise wanted it bumped for back to school and Christmas.

Installed Win 10 and now my trusty old HP printer doesn’t print in color and HP doesn’t support the printer. Now I have to throw away a perfectly good printer with perfectly good new carts and buy a new printer. Go figure.
