  • Windows 10 update

    Windows 10 interrupted my computer access tonight to provide its next wonderful update. The only problem is that this wonderful update left my wireless network access disabled. Actually it was sort of around but not doing much. Anyhow I went ahead and did a wonderful restore of the previous build so I could use my computer again.

    I noticed briefly they were adding a few new things:
    Update to Money
    A wi-fi internet access listing of connections you can purchase, as available.
    Some Messsaging app --which probably requires something like internet access to be able to use.

    good luck!

    I finally chose to stay with 8.

      I still prefer 7 over 10, but 10 over 8. But that's just me.

        I just came across a report that the new Windows 10 update can and will remove user installed programs without asking first.

          I did notice when upgrading Mr. mossy's compy to 10 from 8.1 that it uninstalled the AMD Catalyst Control Center, which I found a bit annoying. At least I was able to install it again via the HP Support Assistant, thankfully. We need Catalyst for shrinking down our TV screen to see the borders, which are otherwise hidden.

            I recommend keeping 7, and not upgrading, because of the problems and headaches. There is no advantage to the 10 over 7. I just bought a new computer with 10, but that is the only way I would have 10.

              So far, not that impressed with 10. My wife and oldest son have upgraded to 10. I have upgraded a desktop of my own to 10, but I'm keeping my laptop at 7 until further notice...

                I had to upgrade from Vista to 8.1. Because I disliked 8.1 so much, I went ahead and upgraded to 10. 7 was still better IMO, but 10 isn't bad.

                  I have had the opportunity use ten for several weeks now. The graphics changed and a few bells and whistles added, but no advantage over 7. 8.1 was not good from the beginning, and the reason for 10. The problem is also with Microsoft word processing software where there has no real improvement for years, but they lock people into upgrading to make money. There is a way to install the 2010 Office so you do not have to renew it. You will have to check with your local private guru wizard to have it done.

                    Yeah, EGGzackly! (Though I never experienced 8 - just had friends who hated it - kinda like Dos 4 or Windows Millenium)
                    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
