2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 CSW Keswick Green

I recently built a new PC and put Win8.1 on, which was driving me mad (after using Win7 for years) - upgraded it to Win10 on release day and I'm finding it much easier to use than 8.1.

So it's only been a couple of days, but I'm busy using old 32bit software (Autocad Architecture 2008) as well as Office 365, Adobe, etc. and so far so perfectly good, with fortunately no glitches during the update process at all.

It's all new hardware though (an i7 Intel NUC, running sweet) - I think my advice would be def give it a go from 8/8.1 if you are finding the OS awkward to use, but if you're on an older PC running happily with 7, maybe hold on to it until it's time for a new machine.

I think I will wait for the 1st patch to fix the bugs before downloading , no rush.

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Sumatra Black

Updated the laptop (because it's disposable and hasn't got any work stuff on it). It took ages to update, three or four hours or so, I stopped checking it after a while and went out. It worked except for needing additional installations of AVG anti-virus that didn't run and the smart gestures driver on the mouse pad. All in all, it's done a fine job of updating and everything seems to work, even my 'I obtained it legally officer' software. I'll still leave it a while before I update the work PC, if ever.

It's not too different to Windows 8, a different layout here and there, different colour scheme but nothing that jumps out and screams NEW.

Now that my Prepar3d is running fine on the win7 box, I don't want to mess that one up. Prepar3D is the only time I use windows for personal use. (Should have stayed with XP for that one) 28/02 - Loss of a good friend...

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black

tried to install windows 10 on my tough book over the weekend but found lots of Panasonic features not compatible with Windows 10 (at the moment - I guess the drivers will come along eventually)

so I cancelled the install but it's not easy ... you have to delete the temporary windows install folder, hide the windows 10 update from the windows update folder, then you have to uninstall the windows 10 notification update, then you have to hide the windows 10 notification update from windows update ... phew

Eurm. There should be an easy return to previous windows option in the boot manager.
You can also launch it from win10.

Only available till 1 month after upgrade to win10. 28/02 - Loss of a good friend...

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Santorini Black

Mac OSX Yosemite on a macbook pro retina13 for me, updated to OSX el capitan last night.

I wish i bought one years ago. had windows before that. XP good, Vista awful, 7 ok, 8 was awful, huge let backwards in my opinion, 8.1 wasn't much better. both 8 and 8.1 were run a samsung ultrabook which was a disaster too, it spent more time being fixed by samsung than i ever did using it.

Ive had an iPhone and iPod for years, and have owned a succession of iPads which i use when I'm working away, (brilliant device, can do 80% of what i use a computer for) having a mac allows all to be integrated seamlessly and remember all the stuff i can't and share it between themselves.

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Cairns Blue

After windows 10 tried installing on my pc for the 10th time I did a bit of searching and found this site http:\blogultimateoutsider.com someone has been busy and found a way to delete windows 10 updater.

I have run on all ours and it works for me. Don't make old people mad.

Hi Richard.
From memory it was a free trial then I got billed the next month for £34:99. I can't remember mate if I registered or they got in touch with an offer. Just thought it was worth a heads up.
Cheers Andy T.
