Which version of Windows 10 do you have installed Graham is it home or pro?
If it is pro then you can choose to update when you are ready to update instead of Microsoft forcing it on you. I have to say that Microsoft slipped up not giving you this option in Home.

It's pro and I've just changed the setting. Thanks.

'Win10, breath of fresh air'-----Really!!!!! 

Decided to take the plunge and upgrade my daughters Asus laptop running 8.1 to Win10....What a nightmare!!!

Take one working machine, running reasonably fast, considering all the crap she's got on it like Spotify etc. Add 1 free Win10 upgrade, which actually worked fine to install = 1 disappointed daughter as her machine now runs like me doing a marathon (if you know me then you'll understand  ) Basically, when it boots she gets a very nice picture, but cannot get past this picture unless she presses CTL-ALT-DEL to get to the login screen, it then takes an age to boot, then if she selects the Notifications flag in the bottom right of the Taskbar, brings up that 'window' and selects any of the notifications, the process just hangs. "Press CTL-ALT-DEL and select Task Manager" I hear you all cry, did that and then the whole Machine just sits there, looking at me, goading me into pressing them again....so I do and that's it the Laptop just does nothing then, the HDD is active so I think that either 1. She has a bad sector on the HDD or 2. I just need to re-install Win10.

So how do I do that then??? When the Laptop itself won't work properly, long enough for me to navigate around to find the said install, or regression link???

The result is I've now had to drop it off to a PC shop I know to fix, as I don't have the time, as she needs it for Saturday morning. 

I think I'll be hanging on for SP1 before I upgrade my Win7 Home PC, even though I have done a Recovery Disk.

Oh one more question, if I've partitioned my HDD to create a Windows Partition & Data Partition, does a Win10 upgrade override these partitions or will it just install straight to the Windows Partition??

Cheers

Neal.

Right I've just got No2 Daughters Laptop back and it turns out her HDD was on the way out. This has now been replaced and Win8.1 has been reinstalled on her machine. I've also been advised not to install Win10 until I've upgraded her memory from 4Gb to 8Gb and SP1 has been released.

I was going to do my PC, but I think I'll hang on for the same reasons.

Cheers

Neal.

I have now installed Win10 on both a 32bit and 64bit laptop both which ran WinXP and both have only 3Gb of memory and Win10 runs fine, surprisingly the 32bit computer seems a little faster.

Still struggling with mine. Last night I got a message that I had to sign in to WiFiSense. What on earth is that? If I don't know what it is then I don't want it so why do I have to sign in to it? If it is something cloud based then I definitely don't want it. Anyway I couldn't find it so ended up signing in to my Microsoft account at which point the PC decided to restart and carry out a major upgrade, all on its own! Surprisingly a lot of things that didn't work suddenly started working. I even got Mozilla Firefox working but not for long before it crashed and now refuses to restart. It seems that everything that had a license key has lost the key rendering it useless or reverting to a trial version of the program. Fortunately my AVG Tune Up program, which I had just renewed suddenly started working so It is now beavering away putting everything back together. I am currently using Edge but I still don't like it.

So.....I replied (by email)  to the little pop up from Microsoft about 10 days ago.
Hear nothing since.
Is there a long wait ?

So.....once I realised that the files had downloaded it was so easy.
Strarted at 1.30 and all up and running in less than 90 mins.
Looks good so far and no problems that I can see.

Hi,

Installed and seemed to be running ok but then I found out Outlook was receiving but not sending e-mails. Found a fix to this here:

https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Outlook-Send-Receive-error-0x800CCC13-after-upgrading-to-Windows-10-e8c575fa-3ac6-4d8d-89c8-dcb1bbb33085

Followed the instructions and everything seems fine now.

edge keeps shutting down   

keep getting a pop up asking me what program I want to open something, when I have not opened anything new 

win10 

where is the restore to proper windows button when you want it.

win 10 seems to have a life of it's own, one day fine, the next absolute 

Seems a good place to for my first post!  Upgraded to W10 yesterday, and it took an hour or so, and the machine seems faster.  As I use W7 at work and W8.1 at home, W10 seems the best of both worlds.  However, there was a small catch... 

I use Onedrive and have been very happy with its integration with W8.1.  It took me several hours of reading forums and testing options to stop Onedrive synchronising every 2 seconds, and get rid of the duplicate Onedrive icon in Windows Explorer.

But now that's fixed, all seems to be working, and I can go back to learning QGIS....

Leaving my PC on overnight on Friday with AVG Tune Up Disc Doctor running seems to have sorted everything out. Got up Saturday morning and everything was working fine. Only took five days to install. Been stable since apart from Windows Media Player crashing last night. My computer does seem to be a lot quicker generally but I still don't like Edge. I will stick with Mozilla Firefox now that it is working properly and they have updated it to be compatible with Windows 10. Firefox is now lightning fast.

I'll stick with W7 thanks, every time they change it it takes ages to get used to where everything is again!

As for that Cortana thing after seeing the adverts it's just another step in the direction of the Zager & Evans song "In The Year 2525"

Been running w10 for about 2 weeks now. It is simply wonderful IMHO. My only problem with it is that if it wants to update anything Microsoft it tends it interrupt programs. However, the system is so simple to use once set up (which takes a little time) even an idiot like me can use it. 
Go back to w7, w8, vista and the like....absolutely no way.

Maybe I should give it another try. I did have quite a few problems when I installed it and I went back to Windows 7.
A lot of people have had no problems and like W10 - such as your good self.
I'll give it a few weeks so Microsoft can put out a few more updates and then try again

Did one of my PC's over to Windows 10 From Windows 8 last night, It was an absolute breeze.
Its slightly different but I'm used to adapting as I was running one PC on Windows 8, one on Windows 7, And one on Vista 

After I had upgraded to Windows 10 I did have one issue which was, when you shut the PC down it would start itself up again after 5 minutes, And every time you re shut it down it would just re start up again after 5 minutes.

Its an easy fix to prevent it should anybody get the same problem. Click on the link below to watch a video which has step by step instructions to guide you how to rectify it.

Will I be upgrading the other PC's to Windows 10 

Too right I will!!! 

Been running it for 10 days now and very happy with it.
Back to the old windows. Windows 8 was just so user unfriendly.
