GOT WINDOWS 10 and I like it no problems

[gorja]

Thanks, grandpa. Still loving the low taxes in SC?

[HipKat]

Definitely do the Win 10 update

[gorja]

I did it. Finding my way around and liking it so far

look it over and shut off some of the things you don't use. `windows 10 machines share freely if they are on the same network by default. they also send Microsoft and advertisers information you can turn off. Have a geek help you set up your privacy

What do you do in your computer that needs an upgrade to a new upgrade?

[HipKat]

XP sucks. Was the worst. I had to work on a customer's computer today with XP on it. Horrible.

Windows 10 has worked great for me. The only issue I have is 'can't load Flash' messages but I believe that's a Chrome issue not Win 10

Yep, that's a browser issue. Either the plugin is inactive or you just need to use chrome to d/l flash player again

What were you fixing on the XP? Google the ratings of Windows OS you will see XP Pro is one of the best and is still supported for security Avast, Advanced System care and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

That's the thing with XP, You NEED Avast, Advanced System Care, Malware Bytes.. add in HijackTHis and Spybot S&D along with them.
It was a piece of garbage OS that voraciously consumed resources and memory and had so many security leaks, it was ridiculous.

gorja,..... let me tell you of my most recent experience. I bought my newest PC about 2 1/2 yrs ago from Walmart it was a Dell + Tower. Everything was running fine until the last few months of 2016 when I updated to Windows 10 from Windows 7. At first everything was fine then just this week I lost the ability to print from Word which, I use a lot for my genealogy and baseball database. I have all my files backup on sticks but I am unable to open those files why because Microsoft made changes to my system. My printer will print off Adobe but not off of Word or Excel why, Microsoft is forcing this Office 365 which will cost me a yearly subscription. I am struggling with buying another new PC and all in one system with a new all in one printer because it is best to stay compatible with Windows 10 as possible. My old HP Printer drivers are gone which I don't understand because they still sell the ink for my C4180 printer but they no longer will update my drivers again staying compatible, right. Besides, my Dell PC was Windows 7 specific and was not made to run Windows 10 I keep getting a dialog box saying Dell was meant to run Windows 7 stage but running windows 10 seem to keep working for now.

If you choose to update from Windows 7 to 10 be ready for changes to your office apps they will happen. I do not use Microsoft Edge this is the Explorer browser I still use Firefox browser. I do not use Cortana she is off and there are other apps I keep turned off some are chargeable apps to my ISP and some are not. Good luck.

Has anyone used Windows 10 yet. I keep getting a message to reserve my free copy.

Welcome to the minority. Millions of people have upgraded to Win 10 and have no problems. You want to use old equipment with a new OS, then cry about it? Makes sense.

I have an old HP Officejet 6500 Printer and use Office 2013, no problems. Maybe it's not Win 10, maybe you're just one of those people who doesn't REALLY know what they're doing or why things are going wrong

Starting to look like more printer issue and its drivers which I cannot update but they still sell the ink for my printer......I'm just going to buy a new system even tho I bought this system 3 years ago.
