Just wanted to know what others think about the new Windows 10 OS from Microsoft. Doesn't matter if you're a tech geek, or barely PC literate enough to use BOTL.
I had an extremely hard time (not that hard but probably would be for many). For starters I was upgrading from Win7 Professional, I wondered why I wasn't getting the notification to upgrade but even though I chose to. I finally came across in Windows Update that the update kept failing, like everyday, I didn't know it was trying to update. I went through all kinds of tech steps to fix my windows update so that it would allow the Win10 upgrade. Not happening. Nothing worked. So eventually I came across a standalone updater. YAY! Not really. It found an app it didn't like, I had to uninstall, but that app needed a reboot to uninstall, which made me start all over. Then the updater couldn't figure out if I had enough space on my hard drive, I've got more than enough, had to start over again. 3rd time and I think it's going to work so I leave with it at 70%, smoke a stogie, comeback inside, 70%, so I close it out and start it again. 4th times a charm.
So now that it's been up and running for about 24 hours I've done a little tinkering. I have to say I think I'm going to enjoy this, I'm actually quite impressed. Windows 8/8.1 had me running fast away from it, I hated Windows 8 as I'm sure many do as well. Previous new OS installs have been "alright lets get this thing setup and customized to my liking. Windows 10 has me feeling a little different, its more of a "let's start your experience for you". I'm digging this.
