I ran the back up tool, something I had not bothered with before, I have a small SSD, all downloads documents pics etc go onto disk D:, so I chose E: as the destination.
What fun, it overwrote all my data (only copies, so it did not matter)

What I did not notice was that it renamed C: as E: and vice versa, so I was surprised to see that E: had shrunk a great deal, and did not look at the size of C:, as it only had a few items on it.

Up-graders beware!
(I have been using win 10 since it was released last Autumn, this was my first ever problem)

Sooner or late we are all going to have to got with Windows 10 or a newer version. What I don't understand is why they went to a touch screen format. It is a kiddie thing.

The touch screen thing is OK on tablets etc, it helps my 86 yo mother, but you are right, it is a kiddie thing really.

Right ... catering to the kiddie generation that are NOT paying the bills in the first place.

Interface for cursor control should be selectable in WIN10 just like it is for WIN8. There's a setup menu that is available in the OS setup for choosing either mouse or touch screen as cursor control. This is located in the CONTROL PANEL under MOUSE and KEYBOARD PROPERTIES.

Whether a touch screen is useful or not really depends on the programs being used and the comfort level with new technology. The ability to use a pen and your fingers for a drawing or CAD program is incredibly useful, as is the ability to annotate documents. Using your fingers to navigate a large monitor is also much faster than using a mouse. One of my laptop's with Windows 8.1 on it has a 17" touch screen. When editing Word documents for my clients, i can use my pen and fingers to circle, annotate, cross out, and highlight portions of documents for their review. There are also many tasks that can be accomplished quicker with a touch screen. Depending on what applications you are using, and your business goals, touch screens can be a great productivity tool. It's opened up a new world of process flow options for me. It's definitely not a kiddie thing.

A touch screen is a useful business productivity tool at I point out in my post above yours. Any suggestion that its a feature for children only is, of course, ridiculous. I have been a software developer and Windows power user for 30 years and am finding new uses and advantages for my touch screens everyday. While not everyone wants or needs a touch screen for their daily activities, that fact in no way suggests that computer touch screens are not a legitimate tool and not just intended for children or the infirmed. Within 5 years you will probably be using a touch screen everyday and will wonder how you ever got along without one.
