Hello all.

I belong to the 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' school of thought. This at times has been described by those around me as resistance to change.

Still running Win 7 and after some updates, M$ is constantly bugging me to upgrade to Win 10 for free.
Not doing this any time soon especially after coming across this

https://www.maketecheasier.com/things-suck-about-windows-10/

I am sure that some time in future, M$ will use the End-Of-Life card to compel people to upgrade from older versions like they did with the good old Win XP.

I upgraded to windows 10 performance is superb since i have an SSD 512GB and 8 GB Memory.

If you perform an upgrade, Windows 10 gives you an option of reverting to your old system if you are not pleased with the upgrade.

Bugs i have noted so far

 Calc: When I press Win Key+run then type "calc", the calc app does not show the first time.

The fingerprint reader sometimes just fails for no reason - Alternatively you have to click on sign in after swiping your fingerprint when the laptop is locked.

opening the lid to wake the machine up, it crashes/restarts.

All in all i can do with the few bugs it works for me and it is better than sticking to windows 8.1



I have installed windows 10 on a desktop too. I prefer installing windows 8.1 then upgrading to windows 10. it takes a bit of time but with fast Zuku internet. download is not a problem.




To enjoy performance of New Operating systems there is need to match your hardware. Upgrading HDD to an SSD there is a great performance improvement.

No. I meant "please edit your statement for clarity" :-)

There are ways of installing Windows 10, ignoring any upgrade procedures:)))

@ Washington,

You mean I can do a fresh Windows 10 install and still use the Windows 8 key (which was activated one time)?

I always treat this by keeping an disk image as backup. There are a limited number of times you can install Windows 8 with the same licence key.
Why don't you just install Windows 10? It's a free upgrade.

On the same note but slightly different but related. I reinstalled window 8 on my Laptop which
had a valid key but installed windows 8.1 so the key is now working. Can I downgrade back to
windows 8 without fully reinstalling?

Greetings Team,

As Network and / or Systems Administrators, would you upgrade your laptops & workstations to Windows 10? Most of my machines run Windows 7 & 8.1 but I'm a bit hesitant as I've not heard entirely positive reviews of Windows 10 online. One such qualm is that it consumes a lot of memory.

Warm regards, 

Michael Bullut.
