    Anyone using Windows 10?

    What is your opinion? Do you like it? Any problems? What did you have before?

    Thanks everyone for your responses! I've already downloaded Windows 10 and aside from a few bugs here and there, I see no major problem or advantage over Windows 8.1 which is what I had previously. It seems that some things work, then they don't, then they do. For example, my volume/speaker icon will suddenly disappear, then re-appear. I'm very tempted to return to 8.1 but I know that eventually it (8.1) will stop operating simply because that is what Microsoft does to us! I'm glad to know that my small irritations with '10' are quite normal, according to my akaQA family.

    My upgrade to Windows 10 was a walking nightmare. I took my computer to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and had it removed.

    Hey Bob,what happens when the updates for the other windows below 10 stop updating,,>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
    Bob/PKB

    You ask as though I might actually know! I think one would just have the Windows as it was at last upgrade.

    No Bob,i believe without the updates eventually they will cease to work properly,however i do not know how long that will take before it comes into effect,,i guess windows 7 will be the first to drop away,,Microsoft is not gonna keep supporting old windows versions..maybe i am wrong,but that is how i see it..>>>>>>>><<<<<<..
    Bob/PKB

    Why would the program stop working? The edits are just tweaks, aren't they? A program with no bugs should be fine...maybe fewer bells and whistles...

    You will find your computer gets regular updates from microsoft,i have my computer set up to automatically recieve those updates in the background,and sometimes they ask me to do a restart..>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
    Bob/PKB

    I'm sure you're right. I should get my computer up and running.

    G'day Duck,i have had windows 10 for about 4 months,because windows 10 is a combination of windows 10 and windows 7,keep in mind windows 8 and 8.1 was a bomb out,i have had help in configuring my screen to look like windows 7 but is an operating system windows 10,,i have nothing negative to say about windows 10,,depending on how good you are with your computer,you may be able to set it up yourself if not get help from your IP..it takes a couple of hours to download and i think about 700 mb of data,,i could be wrong on that,,that's about all i can say Duck..>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

    I have a brand new Dell computer, less than 3 months old which has Windows 10 already installed.


    I haven't had much time to become familiar with Windows ten but I do notice some differences.  Cortana looks interesting, but I have tried to set her up three times now without any luck. LOL

    Cortana says it can answers anything,yet it just refers one to google,C/B,,

    I understand that Cortana gets all her answers from "akaQA".... :o)

    I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 and liked it but had too many bugs so reverted back to 8.1. Those bugs may have been fixed since..... Don't use Windows anymore because I got a chromebook and love it!

    hector5559

    Whats a cromebook Flip.??
    Flip

    A chromebook uses an operating system (Chrome OS) made by Google, costs about half the price of a laptop, is much faster, and will do "almost" anything a laptop will do. It possibly wouldn't be suitable for higher-end computing, but for the average user it is fine.

    Flip you had me (almost) sold on buying a Chromebook when I read a previous answer on aka from you , but after looking into it, I found out a Chromebook does not support Skype and Skype is the only means I have of communicating with family members across the sea. Other than this, a Chromebook seems to be the way to go.
    hector5559

    Hm,,i might get one next time around ,thanks,,
    Flip

    C.B. (just FYI) Some options which we are used to using on Windows require a different app or method of using to use on a Chromebook. I can use Skype on my chromebook but I never use it, therefore I can't verify how user friendly it is. My wife says Messenger, which is through facebook, works very nicely for those with smartphones. Another option for smartphone to smartphone calls is Viber. All these are free. Sure beats the old calling cards!
