Good discussion going on here. I have to declare that I do work for Microsoft.

Heheee....can we then throw the mud at you?:-)

Of all, my favorite feature is the little "connect" button in the notification task bar which allows me to push movies, music, presentations to compatible smart TV or using wireless adapters.

I still haven't seen that "connect" button on my laptop. I still have to use the button I use for connecting to Wi-Fi networks to connect my laptop to my TV to enable me start playing things on my TV. Did that connect come with the latest Insider Preview (for that is what i have been on all these days) or it's on the public release?
 
I have been freed from the yoke of carrying HDMI cables, VGA cables etc. I can now enjoy my movies in the house straight from my PC. In fact most of the time my laptop is in the bedroom while I watch the movies from it on my screen in the sitting room.

Sasa how do you change the media when PC is in the bedroom?? That would be interesting to know.
 

few issues
Connecting to WIFI can be a challenge at times it doesn't connect and I have to go to network setting page to initiate the connection. I have also realized that I cannot pick up certain WIFI connection. I have shared these feedback via the windows feedback tool.


Haven't quite encountered that myself....

One thing though: On my Tecno (yes! it's a Phanton yawa!) I have the Sound Recorder app which allows me to records sounds as well as record phone conversations when I am in a call. Is there a reason MS haven't considered that for the Windowsphone platform? It's really a good thing to have especially when the IVR tells you that "this call may be recorded for quality purposes", but not just that....There are more uses, right? Please ask that team why that isn't available and why, halafu revert.

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.

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

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.
