I’m running my expensive CAD program on XP. Next time I have enough money to buy a couple top of the line Macs I’ll be in a position to consider going to the latest Windows, cuz then I’ll have enough cash to get the version of that CAD program that will run on the latest and greatest Windows.

What? You don’t like the new modern art screen implementation? It’s designed to improve work flow by making employees frenetic. . . and stay away from the computer except for only very important, very necessary imperative things.

Ping for modern art Windows 10 upgrade, downgrade or sideways grade into the Twilight Zone. . .

It actually looks as if the Exxon Valdez took an oil dump in your monitor. . .

I ended up having to delete my HP video driver and revert to the basic Microsoft one (which only supported one screen instead of my needed two). Then I was able to re-download the needed HP driver and reinstall it. But it was not a simple process and I only got everything back up and working via trial and error.

The reason this may be relevant is that my machine also had AMD hardware.

I tried flashing a bios one time.

Ended up with an expensive desktop boat anchor.

it’s not that difficult to turn off updates on W10

It's not difficult, because it can't be done with the Home version.

Windows 10 is pure crap that is so buggy as to be worthless.

Reminds me of those old Mandelbrot generators of a couple decades ago.

AMD, dimly recall building one back in the 8026 days ir so. Lots of problems just because AMD was supposed to be faster than the Intel chip at the time.

I have a custom built XIDAX gaming machine and it was installed with Win 10 pro. Been automatically updating for 5 years now and have had only one problem which from what I read is common. That is the Windows File Explorer bogs down terribly from time to time. Usually going into Task Manager and re-starting it solves it for a while.

Not always. Linux has its own problems.

I am staying with laptop and desktop Win7 as long as possible. That said, Win7 is starting to act the same way XP did -- it gets sluggish and browsers don't always work well with the new HTML codes.

Most of the older browsers are becoming out-dated and will not fully function with the new web pages. Newer browsers don't always work because they are incompatible with some of the Win7 coding.

Upgrade and lose drivers/software programs/browser extensions or stay with the old and try to avoid the newer websites. It becomes a catch-22.

Ditto on the Win 7 and a good anti virus. Win 10 is koolaide.

AMD ran hot. Never had a bad Intel processor. I had a 2.8 that ran @3.5 air cooled. Never had a bad Nvidia graphics card. I am now running an Intel i7, 3.7 @4.5, liquid cooled with an RTX 2080. Win 10 is flawless.

“It’s not difficult, because it can’t be done with the Home version. “

the updater services and tasks are the same on home and pro W10 editions, but the shortcuts of the tools for managing them are missing from W10 Home Edition, though the tools themselves still exist ... i disable updates on W10 Home Edition all the time ...

search for and run services.msc and taskschd.msc either from the search box or from a cmd window ...

I have been using CC Cleaner for many years. Would the two be redundant?
