Windows 10

[Deleted]

So, I have upgraded the OS, everything looks nice, but the browser sound is not working on my speakers oh men, only mp3 files are working - websites like youtube, I have to use earphones, now I am waiting for the MS representative, so that I resolve the problem :E

Anyone here has any problems with w10?

sounds like soundcard drivers hold down the windows key and press "pause/break" this will open up systems, then go to device manager and look for yellow !

Assuming this is similar setup to windows in the past

I'm not 100% certain yet, but I think I may prefer Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

[GennGreymane]

I never got the whole dislike of 8 or 8.1

I mean like... i click desktop and its as if I never left 7

[Bakis]

It's been stable and perfect for me, I used the auto-update and skipped the direct download which refused to move the registry so all had to be reinstalled (happened on my laptop).
Do you have onboard ship or a pci soundcard? Checked the manufacturers page latest drivers?

[Deleted]

Done updates and everything is still the same, to be frank ;/

[Soeroah]

I've heard it's pretty good, but I can't even reserve it on my PC. The Get Windows 10 icon just doesn't exist, and when I click the Reserve button in the Updates window nothing happens.

Done all these 'fixes' in help topics on the Internet and nothing :/

Upgraded from 7 to 10 last night. Ran into problems with my video card drivers and doesn't work. In the process of reverting it back to 7. I always have bad luck with this stuff.

I've read that if your computer crashes after the one year free Windows 10 upgrade period, you'll have to buy a Windows 10 License to reinstall it, even if you were upgraded during the free period. Make full backup images !

[Aeula]

Nevermind, just needed to update drivers.

The first thing I did after installing W10 is returning the Start-Menu to the Windows 8.1 version :P
I loved that thing!

You can do that? I may do that.

You mean the menu thing that everyone hated at launch? I tried to get used to it, didn't work out for me. I probably could get used to it if I tried harder.

I despised windows 8. My parents got a new computer with it and asked me to help them with it. I spent like an hour trying to use it. I never swear in front of them, but at that point every 2nd word out of my mouth was an F bomb. I just found it very frustrating to use. Maybe I'm just old.

Everything fine and stable. But never understood the hate towards Win 8 / 8.1. Never had a problem with this OS and if someone makes a scene out of it, when he has to push the Win + D Buttons to see his Desktop, then he deserves to be bitch-slapped.

Everything else was stable and the performance was good. And it's now good with Win 10. So I'm happy.

No it's just a poor interface for a desktop, always was. On a personal level I think metro is also the ugliest UI I've ever seen in mass production, I won't be moving to 10 any time soon, from what I can tell it looks like the mutilated offspring of W7 and W8.

What makes it a poor interface? Seems to work very well for me.

Relativist fallacy that though. I mean, there's a reason the service pack did what it did and why W10 looks like it does. It's been repeated ad nauseam everywhere, but to list a few of my gripes:

Charms
Apps
Loss of features
Microsoft account spam
Does W8 have a network map yet?
Unbelievably unintuitive, youtube videos aplenty for this
Admin rights are a nightmare
So is network sharing

A lot of people don't seem to realise that Metro is not meant to replace the desktop. It can be used for simple, mobile-type apps but if that doesn't interest you everything you need is practically identical to Vista/7.

[FrantACs]

0 problems. This was like the smoothest transition to a newer OS ever in history.

Charms

They work just fine, but I pretty much only use them to turn off my computer, for which purpose they're fine.

Apps

Completely optional. I just don't use them.

Loss of features

You mean the Start Menu? There's nothing I can do with the start menu that I can't also do in Windows 8 just as easily, if not easier.

Microsoft account spam

I have never encountered this. At all.

Does W8 have a network map yet?

Don't know. Never had need of one.

Unbelievably unintuitive, youtube videos aplenty for this

This is subjective. Besides, once you use it for like a week, it doesn't matter how intuitive or not it is, and it's efficient.

Admin rights are a nightmare

How so? I've never once run into an issue with this in 2 years of using Windows 8.1.

So is network sharing

Another one of those things I've never used, so can't comment on.

I like the Metro tiles for my launching of programs. But I never use Apps. They are pretty bad.
