Just upgraded this morning. Easiest and smoothest transition ever (since 3.11WFW and NT4) . I upgraded my laptop from Win7 and the wife's from 8.1, all previos apps and settings were retained, web passwords, history and all was still there. Only thing I noticed was Chrome was dethroned as default browser...
So far very stable, fast, and robust. I'm still on a 3 year old Intel i3 machine... |

Installed it this AM and first thing I noticed was Norton Security suite was MIA.* Next was the vertical line splitting the screen -NVIDIA drivers also MIA. The oddest one thus far is the MS mouse magnify feature isn't visible in edge, but is clearly visible/running on the destop or other windows??? *The Norton product was from Comcast so it wouldn't install again either, their site had nuttin fer 10. I clicked a popup message for Defender and it took off by itself & ran a full scan with zero threats found. I then clicked the update tab it and showed virus definitions were 56 days old and off it went to update?!?!? Why did it not do THAT prior to scanning my machine??? Damn'it Bill. |

on first login my drivers where jacked up
Nvidia Geforce Gt 740 I went to computer management, right clicked on display adapter, it said these drivers are ok. clicked OK, it rebooted and had full Nvidia drivers installed. Everything is fine now. I just don't like that you can't alt TAB from a game to the desktop. You have to have something running on the desktop like a browser. |

8/10 I'll wait a while as usual. Everything MS has put out since Windows 95 has been a clusterfuck waiting on a shitload of patches. I reverted back to 7 from 8.1 a few months back and haven't been happier.

We trashed half a dozen desktops to get 10 installed, and finally got one working. The upgrade is a disaster. We even have a couple guys on staff that are former Windows OS QA, and they still couldn't get it to work on the other five machines. Also, it downgraded our Windows 7 Ultimate to Home so we can't remote desktop into the one that did work. The CEO promised our customers we'd support 10 from the day it was released so we have to make this work. I hate being between a rock and a hard place.z
