I need to disable Cortana (big brother who is always spying, always watching), but aside from that....
Everything in Windows 10 is super slow. If you have Windows 7, don't upgrade. I wish I didn't. In Windows 7, if I opened a Google Chrome browser and typed liquidpoker.net, I would be here in a matter of moments. Like three seconds or so. It takes about five seconds for chrome to even open.
I have 6 GB ram, a quad core AMD processor, and I really do not run many programs. No viruses that I saw. This is not the newest or most bad ass laptop obviously, but it did work well on Windows 7 and everything was pretty smooth and fast.
Windows 10 does not even look pretty. It is like mashing together 7 and 8 and they had some retarded love child that couldn't function.
Anyone else do Windows 10? Does anyone like it? |

Oh, and Solitaire is a paid game now. You cannot play it for free. (That's right...the always included free game on every version is now a pay to play) |

Know a tech guy, asked him a few days ago, he said he preferred it by a lot, and he's got my old computer at his home. Weird, maybe it's something on your end?
I gave him my old 30 inch, and it worked great with a 6 year old pc with windows 10, lots of pages up |

i didn't even have a cracked version of MS Office, but it won't work now because it says my serial expired. I had bought it via download and I don't have the keys anymore.
I do not really do anything too intense on my laptop, no gaming. But loading chrome.....it is seriously the most tilting thing about windows 10 |

Wait a couple of months so it gets some fixes and cracks come out so it doesnt block your stuff |

ye definitely not installing win10 after i read that it blocks hijacked software.
eventhough almost all my software is legal i still dont like the idea that they can just block something like that |

I had a huge video problem right after the upgrade and still have a smaller problem now (blurry text). Update your video drivers before you upgrade, 10 has all kinds of trouble detecting monitors/drivers properly especially if you have a multiple monitor display. |

I updated cause I had to reinstall Windows and I don't want to do it again in a few months. I do have some random hangups though, I suspect it has something to do with the idle mode of my old hdd's. |

Did you guys all just do a straight upgrade from win7?
I did a fresh upgrade (have the installer remove all my previous settings and files on my win7), and I have not experienced any of the things that you guys experienced about being slow. It is actually faster than my win7 (haven't cleaned up my win7 for a while tho, so that might be why my win7 was slower)
I love the new start menu compared to win8 (haven't used win8.1 tho). Cortana is alright. I also have Amazon Echo, Siri and OK Google, so comparing the four I still enjoy OK Google the most (has the most features). Amazon Echo is fun to program on, built a full voice-controlled party drinking game (similar to this one).

You shouldn't need to grab drivers. |
