Got Windows 10 Update

Runner26 · ‎09-30-2013

I just got my Windows 10 update. It took from start to finish 75 minutes. Too early to see too much of a difference but now instead of internet explorer it is replaced by microsoft edge. I think the speaker is louder also because I had to lower it.

There's a search bar at the bottom of the notification screen that's different. Since I had desktop view on my windows 8.1, windows 10 also gave me the desktop view. I may later venture to give the tiles view a try, not sure.

The only problem I had was with Norton that I get from Comcast. It is now resolved but it was time consuming.

I was going to say be careful, still bugs to work out with it but I see you've already downloaded it.

Thank you so much for sharing... we haven't taken the "plunge" yet... so DH (Windows 8) and my computer (Windows 7) are looking forward to this fun... I really, really appreciate any input regarding this! : )

I signed up but have not received my notification yet to download. Kind of worried because I am not that computer savy. If I have a problem, I will take to Geek Squad. GS said they will help me out, if there are any problems. I figure that is what I pay them for, so I will take advanage of their expertise. GS also told me that there will be bugs.

I downloaded yesterday. It took about an hour, but I was not sitting at my desk watching the process so it could have been longer. I've had no problems so far transferring my Windows 7 stuff over and I'm using Edge right now.

I have a subscription to Trend Micro's Tech Support, and before starting the installation I checked with them to make sure one of their techs could help if I encountered a problem. Like the Geek Squad, they claim to be available to assist their customers who need help transitioning old computers over to Windows 10.

I hate Windows 8 with their boxes and no back button, is Windows 10 any better or more like 7?

I haven't received my update yet either. Thanks for letting us know about it runner!

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

I did not receive my notice either but on the bottom right of my screen it showed updates & there it was. So far so good - I found QVC ok.

I signed up for Windows 10 a couple months ago; I didn't get notification that it was available but I knew that it was somewhere around 7/30 so I clicked the Windows icon on the bottom right of my notification screen (the same icon where I reserved it) and it was ready to download. I downloaded it yesterday. I actually made a point of noting the time so for me it was 75 minutes.

It seems bluetooth is a little different. On Windows 8.1 when I wanted to send/receive a file all I had to do was accept. I just tried sending a picture from my phone to my laptop and it kept failing. I finally clicked on the bluetooth icon and played around. I think I clicked receive files or something.

I never had Windows 7 so I don't know that operating system. I went from Vista to Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I actually liked Windows 8.1, it just was a bit frustruating at first trying to figure out how to get to desktop view instead of tiles but after I figured that out I liked it.

I actually like Windows 10 so far. I mean there's a few cosmetic differences but really don't see much difference but I haven't really played around with it.

Mine is ready to download now. I was a bit hesitant, so I went to CNET.com and read their review. They give you lots of information and tips, and they like it. So I'm ready to take the plunge.
