Windows 10!!

27 Sep 2015

I have to support multiple OS, so I did insider preview on one of my extra machines. I've upgraded a couple of other machines (Win 7 and 8.1) to see how the process went. For personal use, it's just fine. I haven't run into a lot of the problems that some users have reported. The support was there for most of the programs I use regularly, including a lot of open source programs. My biggest complaint was that I had to disable drive encryption in order to upgrade, and then my preferred encryption program doesn't work on 10 yet. No big deal...I can use something else for the time being, but still irritating.

If you dual boot on a single drive, it's not so bad, but if you have each OS installed on a separate drive, it won't work at this time. Again, no big deal for me, but a friend of mine spent days working on that until finally giving up and rolling back to 8.1.

For business use, I would not switch without a lot of testing. I'm planning to set up another machine on my work network and see how it goes. But in truth, I'll probably wait another 6 months at least before I start upgrading business machines.

You guys are scaring me. I've just purchased a new laptop and it has Windows 10. Of course, I haven't even taken it out of the box because I'm still in mourning from the loss of my last one--it was an ugly seperation. But not to worry, I can't seem to keep one for longer than eleven months. It's become a major joke in my family.

In a couple of months, I'll probably replace this new one (I'm not even going to bother bonding this time) with a Mac. angry7

? A True Story ?

I update a 4 yr old laptop from 7 to 10 and love it. I just download the latest version which is like what used to be called a service pack but now MS just calls it an updated version. It is a heck of an update! Many changes, all for the good. Most you might not notice, depending on your OP Sys skill but 10 seems to be there best yet, IMHO.

I finally finished my upgrade today. MS kindly sent me the upgrade on 3.5 diskette since my PC is rather old. The upgrade took 3 months but all is well smile

My son is running is running Linux Mint with xfce interface on a 3 year-old netbook right now and I am sorely tempted to say "eff you" to Microsoft. This implementation of xfce is enough like Windoze 7 to minimize the learning curve, much more customizable, and runs fast on a machine that was floundering under 7 so likely not a candidate for 8 or 10.

It is rather, ummm... alarming - is not too strong of a word to apply.

This might be the sort of corporate/government move which forces me to start to deal with Linux, while keeping Win7 alive for all software requiring a valid Windows OS to operate.

I know a lot of more-than-competent Windows admins and Unix/Linux professionals and none of them want to deal with the inherent hazards of Windows 10.

The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.

Are you sure?
