Tukaram (Tim) Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 My desktop PC just went tits up (after almost 6 years). So I am looking at new desktops... but only looking at Win 7. :tiphat: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize how many millions of people downloaded it in the first week alone?Sure a few thousand people out of 25 million had some issues. Big deal. Windows 10 is not like other releases as it was treated by millions before release. It is really a bat improvement over 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hounddriver Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 You should stop reading into the paranoia about windows 10. Just because you are a proponent of Windows 10 does not mean the opponents are wrong. Remember, its not paranoia if they really ARE out to get you. :hystery: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 10 is not like other releases as it was treated by millions before release. It is really a bat improvement over 7. I have not read any negative about it. Windows 8 is silly unless you have a touch screen... from the screenshots I have seen of 10 it looks the same. Just does not fit my needs. My wife has Win 8 and almost none of my programs work on it (Photoshop, Office etc) and I don't feel like buying new versions of my other programs just for a new Windows version. If I was on a tablet, sure. Maybe even a laptop, but on my desktop PC I have no desire to "upgrade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike S Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) And there are simple ways to monitor or disable the auto updates like enabling metered connection in the network settings. Guess I'm kinda thick as I can't find this in Network and Sharing Center ...... I don't see anything about metered connections ..... :tiphat: :cheersty: Edited August 14, 2015 by Mike S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike S Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Here is a website with the best explanation I have heard about Win 10 Updates ..... http://www.howtogeek.com/223068/what-you-need-to-know-about-windows-update-on-windows-10/ Edited August 14, 2015 by Mike S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richieboy67 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I'm not really a proponent and I do not work for Microsoft. I just really like it and everyone I know, family and friends who have it also love it. I really am critical of Microsoft but compared to previous versions of Windows they really did well with this one.

I hate windows 8 with a passion and if windows 10 was like Windows 8 I can promise you I would be here bashing it.My work is on computers and I'm on them all the time. I would never recommend a system I wouldn't use myself. I will say though on my home PC I will be keeping 7 because Microsoft stupidly dumped media center and I use it all the time when home in the USA. This is one aspect of the upgrade I'm not happy about at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolby Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 So far, the only issue I had with W 10 was when I open any image. The whole screen just keeps on blinking? I rebooted the thing and it's back to normal? What gives? Mind you, I mainly use the browser. The PC boots up fast though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
