Me too. I am watching all the Win10 topics and will judge when, if I change, though I will buy a new computer before the 'free OS' runs out.

Well, for you two fellas, I'm just a retired old fart who took the jump on six machines at home. One had not been turned on for over 4 years and was a Windows 7. That machine was a bear to do. It took three times. I had brought it up to-date with Windows upgrades. The Antivirus proved to be the killer. I had to go to Avast and down load there removal program. After that it was a piece of cake. Yes there were some minor bumps. Mostly caused by out of date Drivers, mouse. But as far as I'm concerned as a user, there like new machines. Where is used to take a life time to boot up *4mins* now takes less then a minuet.

There are some bumps and grinds as you go along, but I have found that for the most part they tend to mend themselves.

A few days ago, I got an update. You know, please wait while we set up your computer. When it did come up it told me I was a "Temporary Users" LOL.. no icons, no nothing I Could use. I rebooted and it's all there. The choice is yours, but I find it's well worth it.

A three word reply- Win 10 sucks

I still can't install it on my Win8 machine, so I'll stick with that. The older Win7 machine accepted it.

Truly a false three word reply!!!!

:lol: PS: Sorry you are having problems.

In my years on WIndows experience, I learned that if a problem can in anyway be blamed on a flaky video driver, that's probably the case. Since the problem you are having directly relates to the video display, that where I'd look first.

Thanks for your advice, James, but I did all the updates before installing Win 10. And, there were several Win 10 updates that happened afterwards... So, everything is current.

Today, I've rebooted many times. Some while trying to enter the Safe Mode... Worked like a charm on Sunday, didn't work at all today. Just saw the window flash by with no time to react. Finally got it going through a backdoor command set. But, it did me no good... And, to top it off, I couldn't get back out of Safe Mode! Finally did, but it was frustrating.

Now, it seems that I am in never-never land. The re-install process, even though I requested to KEEP all my programs, proceeded to DELETE all my programs. So, now I have a Win 10 system with no software installed. So, do I reinstall and hope for the best? Or, go back to Win 7?

And, there is a 30 day window where Windows will allow to roll-back to Win 7. I thought I was within that window, apparently not. I had downloaded the Win 10 update a few weeks ago (apparently more than 30 days ago). So, even though I just installed it, the timer had already begun with the download. Fortunately, I have the Win 7 recovery disks..

And, at this point, I think I am going to re-install Win 7... But, I may go ahead and get a SSD first. Prices on those are coming down nicely. And, I'd like the speed.

I really liked Win 7, I was used to what it did and how it worked. I was not all that comfortable with Win 10. I think I made a mistake in trying to migrate to Win 10. :-(

Sorry to here your going back win 7 which is a good os and maybe next time you install Win 10 or purchase a new laptop you'll have better luck?

Gitchigumi Loc: Wake Forest, NC

Thanks... I was really hoping to have the great experience that many others have reported. Unfortunately, my case was likely the odd-one, the anomaly, if you will. Oh, well... it was not for a lack of trying.

Why are so many "Hogs" jumping into Win10, why not wait until all the nuts and bolts are tightened by others who feel that they have to have the newest first. Let them fixit for us. Like most of us wait to purchase new Cameras much after the release to have others go through the pains, returning for repair and or loading firmware to correct manufacturers racing among each other to be the first

My 2 cents

I have installed Win 10 on 4 Machines, one an Asus Transformer. All work fine. I could not disagree more strongly. With win 10 installed on millions of machines it is not surprising that some problems appear. Very upsetting to those having problems, but it does not mean that Win 10 is a failure. Recently my notebook, after running win 10 just fine for a month, refused to boot. I suspected memory trouble so removed one memory module. Worked fine. Reattached the USB3 hub and it continued to work. Shut the computer down it refused to complete bootup. Detached the hub, restarted the computer and all was well. Strangely, I moved one USB cable to a different port on the same hub and that seems to have resolved the problem. An identical seven port hub on my work machine has had no problems. I doubt that any of this has anything to do with Win 10, it just shows how complicated a minor computer problem can be.
