REDCHEQHEN Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Posted August 24, 2015 I keep putting off the upgrade - a reminder pops up every other day But............

philg50 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 Speaking to a lad in the club Saturday night he said that it had sped up his lap top good style me i am not sure about it ,the more you download on to a computer the more memory you take up so could slow your machine down IMO but who knows i will maybe chance it ??

So you do need a few gb's of memory spare. My computer is just a few months old so has lots of memory available - I have also read that it takes 5 hours to download! I look forward to reading any reviews posted!!!
just ask me Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 ive just asked him he said its best to wait about 2 months there a few glitches with it noting major in a month or two these should all be sorted

Kyleakin Lofts Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 I've had it on now more or less since it came out and have found no problems whatsoever.
paddymac Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 Dont like it at all with all those apps, prefer to stick with my trusty old windows 7 :)

paddymac Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 I just like to log on through the browser, each to their own.
peter pandy Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Uncle Albert on here downloaded it and has had nothing but problems and cannot get back to Windows 7. Computer nerd friend said always leave new applications for a couple of months to allow gliches time to be rectified. Sounds like good advice.
THE FIFER Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 i got a new laptop a while ago with windows 8, i use my old one most with windows 7,
REDCHEQHEN Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Posted August 26, 2015 Uncle Albert on here downloaded it and has had nothing but problems and cannot get back to Windows 7. Computer nerd friend said always leave new applications for a couple of months to allow gliches time to be rectified. Sounds like good advice. Can I revert back to my previous operating system if I don't like Windows 10?Yes. You will be able to revert back within a month of the date you upgraded to Windows 10 via the "recovery" option in "Update & Security" in settings as shown below: NB: In order to provide the rollback option, Windows 10 will keep a copy of your previous operating system in a folder called "Windows.old" which may consume considerable amount of disc space. It is vital that, if you wish to retain the option to rollback within a month of the date you upgraded to Windows 10, that you do not delete the copy of your previous operating system. Specifically, do not allow "disc cleanup" utilities to remove "previous operating systems", nor should you allow them to delete the "Windows.old" folder. Also be aware that if you reset your PC using the recovery option this will also delete the "Windows.old" folder. If you delete these folders, or allow any other program to do so, you will no longer be able to roll back to your previous operating system.
