Has anyone here also been offered a free download of this new Microsoft system? Have you or would you accept it? I would like to think all the glitches have been ironed out but not being sure makes me hesitate. They say the download will cost almost £100 later so has anyone taken the plunge and are they happy? I would be so grateful for advice.
honeypot43 as I said earlier I was advised by my computer fellow not to switch as there are still problems. Some people have managed without a hitch but I am not taking that chance, even if I end up paying for it next year.
I think if you have reasonably new computers without a lot of stuff on them, then Windows 10 is worth downloading, but if your computer is more than 3 years old I don't think it's worth the time or aggro. You do have to accept that Microsoft will eventually remove backup for older systems.
Same here grannylyn, and it immediately removed my online banking (had to take the laptop to the bank to get it sorted) and BBC radio app. It took a friend 4 hours to re-install it. It is a nightmare.
After months of being offered an upgrade to W10 amd consistently refusing, I was in the middle of an important letter recently, when everything shut down and I was upgraded without a by your leave. Bloody cheek. Anyway, it's not as bad as I had feared and I suppose I will eventually get used to it.
I have just installed the Windows 10 anniversary update. This is a large update and does take a while (about an hour total).
No problems whatsoever, although I haven't explored all the new and changed features yet. Edge looks a lot better so far, and Sticky notes are back in a useful format.
Oh good, hopefully that means our old Windows 7 which DH uses is safe! My laptop still has problems - refusing to shut down and going into a loop if I forget and right click. I really must take it in to be fixed - again!
Dss installed Windows 10 two weeks ago onto our 5 year old desktop.all would appear good. A few differences I.e. uploading photos is slightly different but I eventually got there.
No problems with on line banking etc it was all just the same.
