Need Some Computer Help

[Chuck Wintle]

You do realize Win10 has been out for over 3 years at this point, right?

Yes i realize it has been on the market for some time but a recent event involving an update that was deleting files suggested that some things are still amiss. Also when win10 was first released MS tried to force it upon computer users without permission. And I know win 7 days are numbered which makes hanging on to it a somewhat irrational decision. So what to do? like some users I will just cave-in and use it. It would be interesting to hear other members experiences with win10 though.

I have windows 10 on two computers and I've only had one intermittent problem. We have two computers connected through a network one is LAN and the other uses wifi. I like to sync certain files between the two computers and sometimes the two computers don't see each other so the files can't sync. Other than that they have been problem free and both are up to date with the latest versions of windows 10. My laptop came with Windows 7 and I upgraded to Win 10. The desk top came with Win 10 installed. I even run some older programs on both computers. I would recommend it.

Chuck, while I am generally a MacOS user, I necessarily use Win10 for certain things including my CNC. I have had ZERO issues with Win10 on any of my machines (native or in virtual machines) or on any family member's machines. It's been rock-solid. I can't say that about previous versions, however. Win7 was reasonably sound, but Win8 was horrible.

On our 4 computers 2 desktops and 2 laptops we have windows 10 and some of the upgrades messed up every one not all the same update but different ones. We had to undo some of the updates and on 2 one laptop and one desktop we had to reload as they were in a boot loop. The laptop I am posting this on has tried to update 10 times now and it get to 84% and stalls then it has to undo the update it takes about 3 hours for this to go through. I will not put windows 10 on my CNC computer because of the updates.

Yup. They seem to have major issues every other version, with the followup being (almost) painless: 8 followed by 10, Vista followed by 7, ME followed by XP.

I'm not really looking forward to the next "major" version, assuming there is one.
