Windows 10
Post by MDYoungblood »
I've had the "Free Windows 10" icon on my PC's toolbar and I'm curious to know who has downloaded the new OS and is using it. Also what problems have you encountered and how do you like it. Bet I'm not the only one interested in this upgrade.

Re: Windows 10
I loaded windows 10 on my desktop a few weeks ago.
The only issue I had was it wasn't playing nice with my HRD program which after I reconfigured it...works great.

I am also curious about the new 10 program. I really don't like changes and comfortable with 7. I keep getting the screen pop up to try it for free , but would like to see more input. Good evening to you/yours from Georgia Dawg country.

I haven't been a big fan of Win 8 or 8.1 and like you I liked 7 better. I do think that Win 10 is much better than the 8's but I'm still going to wait until the last minute to upgrade just so they get as many bug fixes ironed out as possible. Since you're still using 7 I think your transition to 10 will be smoother than anyone switching from the 8's but you may want to wait for the same reasons as I am. Although from what I've read in reviews there hasn't been too many issues turn up so far with 10. Of course from my readings on the subject they haven't had that mass exodus of users switching just yet. I figure that will change around the holidays when folks get a lot of new toys set-up with 10 already. Then we might see if there's cause for quick bug fixes or not. Hope this helps.
Have a great weekend!

I like your Radio Shack Radio..... looks like my Magnum 357DX. Nice and simple to operate!!
Windows 10?? It'll take a while.... to get used to, but it works fine for me, I updated from 8.1 about a month ago.

The only thing about 10 is some older games are not compatible. I really don't play them anymore so it's not a big deal. I could have partitioned the hard drive and had XP and windows 10 but you are supposed to install the older version first and I'm going to leave it as is.

Check and see if their aren't any patches for those games. I can play Halo CE on 10 after patching. Even with low end current tech (Dual core CPU +4Gb DDR3 RAM) Halo just flies compared to the old stuff.543FtWorth wrote:Just rebuilt my old desktop with windows10. 8 gig ram (have room to upgrade to 16) and 4.2 gig amd quad core processor. It runs very well and has improved my opinion of 10. The laptop I have is about double the minimum requirements and works ok but this new machine is nice.

I'm loving Windows 10 on the Lenovo that was given to me recently. K330A with i3 2100 Dual core 3.1 GHz. I added a Corsair CX430 PSU, Gigabyte Windforce GTX960, 8GB RAM (12GB total) and a Cryorig H7 CPU cooler. 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD are in the mail. Original HDD was toast so I installed an 80GB HDD and installed 10 using the 7 COA with no problems whatsoever. This Comp is't exactly high performance but it vastly outperforms anything else I've had to date.

I have installed 10 on an OEM Lenovo, an OEM Dell, and a homebuilt with a "Windows 7 compatible" motherboard, all with no issues. I understand sometimes there are issues, but are you sure it was not dying hardware such as an old HDD? Ive also heard of systems having some bugs, but getting worked out after a couple updates. Sorry it didn't work out for you.Grinder74 wrote:My computer quit after a few months after I went to 10. I got the reboot cycle that a few people got. Now I'm going back to 7 or 8.
