Windows 10 – opinions?

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. What’s wrong with Windows 7 that 10 fixes?

I did the upgrade and am happy with the result.

The upgrade process itself was not as smooth for me as it should have been, but fortunately there are a lot of very knowledgeable people who post work-arounds for just about any issue that one might encounter. Bear in mind that W-10 has been out for quite a while among volunteer testers and software developers, so a lot of the oddities have been discovered and addressed in some manner, though MS itself has been oddly slow about publicizing fixes.

One thing to consider is that in the default install settings, many of the privacy controls are set to share as much personal information as possible. That maximizes behind-the-scenes potential revenue-generating data gathering, which is what MS is counting on to recoup their investment in putting this all together and boost their profits over time.

One can override these settings during installation by choosing the custom set-up option and picking and choosing what gets shared carefully. Of course, nothing is foolproof, but it can cut down a lot of the marketing “noise” some people have complained about.

B’hatzlacha.

Please note that the new windows could not be properly filtered by TAG.They are advising people not to upgrade.

You have nothing to worry about!?

I did download Windows 10 the very first day it was available July 29.?

It is very good, better than Windows 7 which I was running before.?

It comes with a lot of new nice features. The best part of it is that it was free and it will be ?free till the end of the remainder of the year July 28 2016.?

Consider also the fact that support for Windows 7 will end, they did not announce the deadline yet, ?but it is coming.?

The Start button is back, so what are you waiting for????

One tip! The download takes a little long, it took me about 2 hours, but, all depends on your system. ?The amount of RAM you have, and the speed of your processor.?

I will take your comment as a compliment, I will include it in my Resume, Thank you.

Funny.. I though Bill Gates is long gone from that company..

I however continue to work for Bill Gates. His last most USEFUL operating system – Windows XP (sp3). Yep, as per many, many reports, periodicals, etc, that was their peek, their pinnacle. Afterwards EVERY version was a step down south.

You can not get a computer today for “work”. You must tweak away, a zillion settings, to make it usable, somewhat convenient for “work”.

As one writer so well put it, today “we have to unlearn the easy way, and learn the hard way to do things”. Functionality, nothing too great has been introduced, no major earth shattering breakthroughs. They’re only gearing them and focused solely on becoming one with the smartphone devices. Todays’ systems have the goal of becoming better and better yet at play and play related… media.. virtual realistic this and that..

Hello Microsoft!! I need a computer system for work. (Darkened screen {ARE YOU SURE}, tiny button <Yes> large button <Remain in Playing Mode>)

There’s a reason for all the hype MS has been trying; (ending XP support, who needs support, had NO PROBLEMS!!!), throwing Windows 7 (all variations of versions) and disgusting 8 and 8.1 down everyone’s throat. Because, it’s just that, something forced upon the customers. (black screen: Are you sure?) XP was and IS the easiest and most useful operating system.

No wonder Bill Gates quit just as he saw the direction his company was taking.
