I just updated to Windows 10

You young whippersnappers and your fancy computer thingies.

 

So far, so good..................

 

From slashdot... you might want to think about it seriously before upgrading

and others, I'm sure.

 

10 wants to do what with my wifi password? I haven't gotten the download yet but now I'm seriously reconsidering.

 

I am having issues with the sleep function of 10. When it sleeps, it takes 5 minutes or so to wake up, and it does not return me automatically to where I was working. After I get going, it seems to work fine though. I think it is still learning about how I do stuff.

 

I do like the new Edge browser so far....................

At present, there is no way to reorganize your Favorites yet.

 

I am sticking with Chrome for now. It works great and is very familiar. It doesn't take up as much real estate as the IE did.

 

I updated my laptop to windows 10 yesterday and now I cannot attach to my WiFi router at the house. Any hints would be appreciated.

 

I wish I could help. I'm sure you will be able to figure it out in time. Best wishes.

 

I guess about the same goes for google. Dunno about Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, OSX etc etc.

*sigh*

I'm on Linux Mint.

 

How difficult is it for someone who knows basically nothing to get started with an alternate OS?

 

OK, the only significant problem I have found is that I can no longer use my webcam. I tried to Skype and found out it doesn't work anymore. Anyone else have that problem?

 

We all know there's a lot of Microsoft haters out there (often with good reason) but a rundown I read - true or not? - said 10 logs every keystroke, etc. Another, if I read it right, said things are default uploaded...somewhere...with a buried setting that has to be located and then turned off in order to opt out. Yet another claimed it automatically uses the webcam; for what, I don't know.

Again, maybe all this is anti-MS hype but I'm sticking with 7 until enough people have had time to fine tooth comb the thing.

 

Just checked, and my camera is working today. I think things came up a little quicker when I started today. I figure there are probably a lot of things going on in the background as this thing learns. I am assuming things will get faster and a little easier as the days go by. Skype seems to work OK now too. Getting better.

 

I upgraded two tablets,a laptop and a PC. All went well and no issues.

 

I tried to update my laptop yesterday and was not successful. I added my email address to the invitation list. Whatever that means.

 

Only problem I had was had to update my Epson driver before I could print. Haven't seen anything better with 10 that I saw in 7. Think maybe about the same.

 

I turned off my sleep mode completely. It just did not work. Now when I shut the lid to my laptop, it shuts down. I just make sure to save anything open before closing the lid. It was taking up to 10 minutes to get started from shutting down, but today I was up and running in about 4 minutes. It is getting better. Once going, everything seems to work well.

 

I like open source as much as the next guy but unfortunately LINUX is simply not a viable option in many cases
