Windows 10
Has anybody else downloaded this ?

I spent the afternoon downloading onto the lap top, what a waste of time, McAfee did not work, appears to have been overridden by Microsoft, adblocker refused to run, prevented by Microsoft. Internet favourites wiped and refused to download.

There were other problems like camera activating itself even though I ticked the box to stop it.

I have gone back to 8.1 just so I can post this not will not be touching 10 on any other device. Don't make old people mad.

I thought the first rule of MS operating systems is to never get on at the ground floor.

I have clicked the box to say I want but I won't be downloading it for a while yet.

That was always my thinking, leave it till they iron out the bugs but I fell for the hype. Big Cry Don't make old people mad.

Yes you can't beat Apple's Yosemite for an OS. The beauty is you have virtually the same interface on your iPhone and iPad. I don't see MS competing with Google and Apple when it comes to mobile devices.

Is OS X a free upgrade for a PC?

As long as you buy a Mac to put it on it'll work fine.

After resisting for many years (and Censored around once a month to sort out Windows) I eventually took the plunge. Wish I'd moved over years ago. Cool

Yes, it gives you the option as with any update..............uninstall update..

It took an hour to upload and 4minutes to return to windows 8.1 which was just as I left it, all in working order. You only get 28 days I think to uninstall Don't make old people mad.

My free windows 10 upgrade downloaded today, I have not installed it yet, and to be honest not sure I will, quite happy with windows 7, might give it a go on my laptop though. Just to see.

I have used windows since the 95 version and have used all windows operating systems since Vista drove me to distraction!

Personally I think XP was the best most stable of them all. Why have an operating system that is the best on all operating systems, phones, tablets, Pc’s, or am I just being old fashioned. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

What do you do if your internet speed's too low to download it? Sad

I've installed it on a couple of i7 laptops, together with office 364 all working well

My toughbook is win7 and i5/8gb .. Going to try that I at the weekend - like it, it's better than 8/8.1
