How is it going with windows 10?

Have been updating computers/tablets for couple of days with windows 10. It is going way too smoothly for me. Have gotten four done so far with no hitches - beginning to wonder if Microsoft has found a way to encapsulate their usual problems into time release capsules.:tongue3:

Just wondering how it is going for others. My son tried and it slowed his computer down and he had couple of problems.

 

If you do not want to wait, the link will get you a program that will allow you to get 10 at your choice of time.

It takes about 8 hours from start to finish - we have dsl but it isn't very fast.

 

We had reserved on all ours but only one at a time were automatically offering it. My desktop was one of the first reserved and it hadn't come through today so I tried the link that I had stumbled across.

 

Just a heads up - I have a Sony netbook with windows 7 - tried to update - failed - tried again - failed. At this point a note from Sony popped up telling me they don't have Windows 10 drivers available for all units.

They give a month when drivers will be available and that SOME units will not get new drivers.

If you have a sony, might be good to snoop their site before wasting several hours downloading and find it didn't work.

AND of course MS makes you go through the total download again to find out if it was a fluke with their stuff or your machine.

 

Ya'll might snoop start button/settings/privacy and see what all is going on relating you your saying yes to the agreement at the beginning.

Also, a look at the Wi-Fi sense to be sure you want what they have set up by default.

Cortona requires you to shift your user account to your Microsoft account also.

Just some thoughts from my day of snooping/reading online about what MS is up to and why 10 may be free. Mine information, sell it to others, make money it would seem.

Updated an older win 7 netbook with touchscreen - now no touchscreen. Lenovo has no 10 drivers for it so that may not get fixed - still working on that one.

 

font size, did you try start button/settings/in window at top right type fonts/click on size on the left list of items?

Slow, hope they do something about that, my units are slightly slower, haven't noticed it coming out of sleep yet. Browser is like I grew suddenly older

I've noticed a couple of little problems have disappeared with updates so I think they are working on things.

Finally got my last one upgraded, an older Sony netbook. Crashed four times trying, finally downloaded and iso, burned a dvd and it went right in.

 

Sorry for your troubles, some have problems but most are adapting nicely, we have several units and all function fine.

As to going back to the former system you can do it. One of our units had a pop up offering that option. This is if you haven't deleted any directories like windows.old

Look around in settings though I have not run across the option.

You might also search tenforums.com and if search doesn't turn it up ask the question.

Hope you get back to satisfaction

Go to settings and type go back in the window at the top right and the next screen, go back to 8.1 is offered.

 

On your computer go to the start button, click it, go down to settings click on it, when the window opens type "go back" in the window at the top right and on the next screen, "go back" to 8.1 (or your old system) is offered.
