    Re: QOTW: How is Windows 10 working out for you?

    There's a bug I have noticed on many windows 10 laptops I have sold as new or have upgraded to windows 10.
    Fairly often they will show the post screen then go blank. However if you shut and then open the lid you are suddenly on the desktop.

    As for my PC, I installed Win 10 from our partner pack only for it to have an IASTOR.SYS BSOD about 5 in after getting to the desktop. Popped in my backup ssd to boot win 7 and found it had WIPED my 2tb mirror array.
    Tried twice more after rebuilding the partition table, both times the same error, no partition table corruption this time though.

    After that I've stuck with 7 pro till I replaced my 2x2TB mirror with some other form of backup.

    It is working great for me , with the exception of the automatic updates kicking me out of programs and automatically restarting. Very annoying whilst gaming

    No complaints but really just a glorified games launcher for me (steam, GOG, star citizen et al). Love the quick start up though.

    Fine, but start menu keeps forgetting/losing ****... It's like it's trying to bury competitors apps/programs in a sly *look at our store* move...

    It likes to lock up/slow down unnecessarily (usually when browsing) and also thrash the stink out of my HDD/SSD when idle which I don't like (optimisation is now off, still does it). Otherwise, acceptable. Normally I wouldn't adopt any OS this early, and my work domain will be waiting at least twelve months at this rate.

    Not really seeing any great differences vs. 8.1 - apart from the obvious menu/visual changes. Edge is a massive improvement over Explorer but in a browser I look for quickness and Chrome still has it beat in that department.

    I needed to upgrade my work PC in order to get to grips with 10, and it seems decent enough, but I see no reason to get frantic with excitement. Maybe it's what 8 should have been all along but I really didn't mind 8.1, so maybe I'm not apt for massive waves of emotion following the change.

    I've had exactly zero issues after upgrading from 8.1 Pro. Not too hot on the new, flat look and there's no particularly useful new stuff in it for the moment that I can see. When DX12 games start appearing however....

    I do like it, the settings are a bit of a nuisance to get around but I'll pick that up as I go.

    I've had a fair few BSOD's but I've done a bit of tinkering and updated some drivers which has stopped this for now. Chrome keeps crashing on me as of late, I need to look into that.

    I personally see no need to upgrade from Win 8.1 or 7 even, but I won't be downgrading.

    I'm having no problems with it at all. This is probably because it is NOT going on my machines.

    MS, you can fold it until it's all sharp corners and shove it somewhere appropriate.

    I backed it hoping for a Linux version, I figured if Egosoft could manage X on Linux then eventually Braben would do Elite but still no sign. I've not installed on Windows yet just incase I end up in same situation as you

    Re: QOTW: How is Windows 10 working out for you?

    Upgraded my netbook, 2 desktops and a tablet and I am happy with them all running windows 8.2... I mean 10.

    I have patched/hacked media centre back in on all machines and it is working just fine, going to do some more testing and if all goes well I may even upgrade my HTPC.

    Phone not had the option yet (Lumia 735).

    Re: QOTW: How is Windows 10 working out for you?

    AMD drivers have been a little flakey at times.

    Had an issue with mouse or keyboard not working and having to replug them back in often - although this seems to have been fixed in the last 10 days.

    System would also hang when left alone for a while - not hibernating or sleeping, just would hang and stop responding - again not happened in 10 days.

    File explorer can be a real pain too. Can be so slow and keeps hanging and not responding on doing very simple things.

    Re: QOTW: How is Windows 10 working out for you?

    Generally I'm delighted with it. Not sure about it being the best of 7 and 8, but it's something like that.

    Had great difficulty in getting network shares to work on my homegroup - that seems mostly sorted now, but still gives problems with them not responding first go.
    Remote Desktop experienced similar problems but that was firewall related.

    All in all, it's an 8/10 from me

    I had no reason to install it three months ago, and that hasn't changed. My laptop is generally only used for downloading images from a CF card, and data from a dive computer. I have Win 7 running in a VM on my Mac, and for everything else I have Linux.
