I Love Windows 10!

Stardust2 · ‎03-13-2010

It came down with an update a week ago. I haven't had a problem. I sure like it better than 8.1. Why is everyone complaing about it. It seems every time Windows changes people are ike that and suddenly they love it.

There will be no Wondows 11, 12 ,etc. This is it and within the next year and a half we will all be charged for using Windows. This one will always have up dates and by the way, I was told by Microsoft they are "killing" the fix all of the people are doing to keep it from downloading.

Like anything else, you have to study it for a few days.

Enjoy your day and Windows 10 as well.

I love it too but using Microsoft Edge made me get a virus or Trojan horse on my computer. One misspelling in the search box and I get a website that says warning, I had to reset my computer. Then my credit cards were compromised so I was sure it was that problem. I still have windows 10 now but I use Firefox or Google Chrome as my browser. I don't use Edge any more.

I really like win10. I don't like or use the edge browser. Chrome is my choice. There were a few tweaks I had to do to get my win10 to work properly...the screen dim button had to be fixed and also had to load a small program to allow me to show/hide windows updates like you used to do on win8...so when a failed update keeps looping around over and over, I simply "hide" it and it goes away.

What do you mean by the sentence turned to red by me? Do you mean that everyone will be charged to switch to 10? Or do you mean everyone that switches to 10 will have to pay to use it? Or do you mean everyone will be charged for using windows no matter which version you have?

I don't understand that sentence at all. Thank you!

Oh, the computer guy that installed 10 on my mom's computer said you have to do something to avoid having problems with it but didn't elaborate. Any tips on installing it?

I have windows 7 on an old computer, is it too old to install 10?

Thanks in advance for any info. and advice.

I think there might be some mis-information there.

First of all I cannot imagine it possible that they will FORCE everybody to upgrade their existing operating systems with Win10.

Win7 is supported until 2020. Win8.1 is supported until 2023.

Of course, any NEW computers sold will eventually have the current operating system. But I just cannot see any way they can force everybody to upgrade their existing computers - or else what? The computers will just cease to operate? Nah.

I don't think there is anything to worry about, for those of us who wish to NOT upgrade the OS on our existing computers. I have nothing against Win10, but upgrading the OS on existing computers CAN be extremely problematic, so I won't ever do it again. For some, it works out and I'm glad for that. But computers are as individual as the number of people who own them, so it just won't work out for everybody.

@mima My Dell is 7 years old and I upgraded to Win 10 with no problems. I don't use any of the apps, or Edge, so I don't know how they would work with an older computer. For that matter, I don't know what IS an old computer. College aged students think mine is antique.

I have Windows 7 and kept getting those darn updates for Win 10. They are sneaky now, making them appear to be regular required updates. My computer guy did use the app to get rid of those automatic downloads. We'll see how long it lasts. I think it stinks that they manipulate users like this.

I paid for my Windows 7. I'm still a customer.

I panicked because I didn't want to turn off the computer and have it automatically download Windows 10. So far, I have no more updates.

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!

Yesterday, I turned on my work laptop as always and went to make coffee. I came back and the laptop was updating to Windows 10.

I had to sit there for 1 hr and 45 minutes until it was done.

Then my Outlook email kept on freezing. It got so bad that I actually tried to shut down and reboot but the laptop wouldn't shut down.

I ended my workday not being able to open Excel files and Outlook was totally not working. I don't know what to expect next week when I have to turn the laptop on.

Here's what makes me mad: IF IT AIN'T BROKE....DON'T FIX IT and I'm sick-and-tired of having decisions regarding my laptop being made by MicroSoft.

In what world does the retailer control the machinery you purchase and use in your home without asking MY permission if I wanted it downloaded?????

Seriously, MicroSoft must be run by 20 year olds who - having nothing to do - just think of ways to make things more complicated and user UN-friendly.

And....yes, I went on the internet to try and solve the problems I had after Windows 10 took over, but couldn't find any answers.

My blood is boiling....arghhhhh!!!

You will have to pay to use Windows. By then nothing will be around except for Windows 10.

By that I mean you will have to pay to use Windows. Windows 10 is the only one that will exist anyway. A tech friend of mine told me. I suggested MAC and he said they are already being charged from what he heard.
