Windows 10 are you upgrading?

[Ponder]

True, but has been pretty good of late asking whether I want to or not. Now that I think about it, it would be less problematic if windows adviced with the following : "windows NEEDS to be restrated in order for your program to work"

Maybe this version will say it on ALL software that requires such. Is not uncommon for issues to arrise from not restarting after installing. (Drivers - Games - General Apps - Utilities and so on. ) ...Ofcourse yet another topic of discussion ... and I hate to be called out on that. Hahahaa.

Running Win 10 now and so far it's a pleasant experience. Edge works well and the web note feature is a blast to use. UI is nice and clean and everything is just so much easier to find compared to Win8 - 8.1

So far no complaints.

How would you compare it to W7?

[Ponder]

Ask me in a month.

Things like One Drive and a host of other "Features" like them are a drain for me. Once I trim down the invasive stuff I don't want ... and remove anything else that's a waste, I do believe I have some positives to share. Color scheme looks good with a much better layout for accessibility. Loaded up quick and smooth sailing thus far. BUT - way to early at this stage ... need that week of insight first. One persons glitch will be pointless to compare at any rate. The futility with such caparisons in forums like these can be likened to comparing medications. With the limited amount of info given in unspecified & generic forums you can be sure that drama will most certainly ensure that is about as humorous as plugging in the power pack.

Good luck with that.

How would you compare it to W7?

Compared to Win7 it is very different, it's clear the Microsoft have tried to take the best bits from 7 and 8 and merge them into one OS. I have not experimented with Cortana yet but i'm really digging Microsoft Edge, it's fast and easy on the eyes.

It's surprisingly stable, I haven't had a single crash yet. Cloud services work as expected without any problems, and it's pretty light on system resources too.


Even the file browser has been redesigned to make finding things easier. Media playback options are limited, but that's sorted once you install VLC.

Microsoft have got it right this time.

oh that's interesting thank you Mist, I use only VLC

[MiST]

After more digging around, it actually comes with quite a nice media player which is far nicer than the old media player. It doesn't support as many formats as VLC but that's to be expected.

But it is quite attractive and all the most important features like playlists and things are there..
