Hi Martin,
Glad you're back on-line! What went wrong with your upgrade to Win10? - and how is it now?
Knowing what you know now - what would you have done differently?
Hope it's settled down OK for you.

Welcome back Martin.
After a lot of research (I was a very happy user of Win 7) I have now upgraded to Win10 64 on my PC and laptop as they have now 'patched' up their ragged ends. First opinion after a few days - no great noticeable difference to performance which was always very 'snappy' on my rigs under Win 7 64. No noticeable difference to DX 12 (which is exclusive to Win10) unlike the marked difference between DX 10 to 11 although this will probably become more evident when software writers start making use of the extra 'bells and whistles'.
One thing I do find disturbing though is that Microsoft, by default with Win10 , want to 'take control of your life' by having you send them everything they want to know about you. If you have, or are thinking of, upgrading to Win10 I'd have a good look at THIS and decide how much, if any, you want to send to the bods at Microsoft - as stated, the default is you send them everything..............

Glad your back, I loaded windows 10 and my cursor had a mind of its own choosing when to move I got fed up of it and went back to windows 8.1, I keep getting a pop up for windows 10 still but as far as I am concerned no thanks.

Windows 10 total rubbish, that's why it's free. I binned it & reverted back to Windows 7.

Good to see you back mate.
I always remember my (85 yr old) Mam's comment when introduced to a Tablet computer last year - having previously used laptop & desktop PCs - she was impressed with the functionality increase coupled with the reduction in size - summarising it with the comment - "They're so much easier to throw across the room now!"
mg:Hope ya get sorted soon :thumbs:

Terry, I wasn’t going to rush in last July and upgrade to ‘10’ as Win7 64 on my laptop and PC covered all my needs and I waited for MS to provide updates for all the early ‘issues’. Last week I upgraded both to Win 10 64 and, apart from taking a bit longer than I thought, both upgrades went without any problems. If you like Win 7 you'll probably like Win 10 which is very similar compared to that *$@**&%£! aka Win 8............
After using the new OS for a week I’m well pleased – the only gripe is the privacy issue I highlighted in my earlier post on this thread. I believe the default is wrong but it only takes a few minutes to ‘untick’ all the boxes....
