"Did you know that after a year you have to pay 100£ for windows 10? So I wont upgrade lol I am happy with windows 8." No you don't, if installed on 7 or 8 (not enterprise version as yet) in the first year it is free for life. If upgrading from XP then your hardware may not be up to it anyway but if it is then you have to buy Windows 10 at £100 | |||

"one day i'll upgrade from XP How do you find XP? I'm thinking about upgrading from 95" There is no longer support updates for XP I had XP for 10 years but when the support was dropped things started to shut down so I,m running windows 10 had it for a week now not as good as XP but ok so far | |||

"Wouldn't touch 10 with a barge-pole. Windows 7 was the best. I have 8.1 now and don't like it much. 10 is like the best bits of 7 and the best bits of 8.1" Best bits of 8.1! Are there any?? The only thing I've seen that I like is that the network performance shows throughput in B/s rather than bandwidth percentage. | |||

"Windows 10 is good, only dumb people who trying to be rebels are saying shit about it and how they won't install it, kinda like someone saying they would never touch deodorant with a barge pole because its not talc powder proven to work during world war 2." So don't sit on the fence, do you like windows 10 or not | |||

That's how I feel. Although I would recommend locking down all the privacy settings. Apart from that though it's as stable as fuck. | |||

"Wouldn't touch 10 with a barge-pole. Windows 7 was the best. I have 8.1 now and don't like it much. 10 is like the best bits of 7 and the best bits of 8.1" My 7 upgraded to 10 with barely a few minutes of effort and it's been simple and no trouble at all. Lots of threads since launch day and generally positive feedback on fab. Drivers are easy to get and it's always worth checking you're using the latest imo, as manufacturers improve them or find security issues with old ones that are made safer. | |||

"Folks, 10 tracks your every move.. No it doesn't" You'd be surprised how minimal the privacy settings are, you can hardly safeguard any of your online habits. Yes, you will be forced to share everything you do (when on the internet) with anything you have ever logged in to: all you email accounts, your i-shopping / app-stores, twitter, facebook, instagram, flicker, pinterest etc., etc. | |||

"I upgraded to win 10 then rolled back to win 7 2 weeks later. Its ugly clumsy and clunky!How do I roll back? Do I have to use a Restore Point?" You have to do a factory reset, that gets your pc to the state it was wen you got it, although everything will be erased, so better save the files. | |||

You know I think if you went to a specialist they might be able to recover the photos. | |||

" the other is amd was more for gamers machines and beat intel hands down for speed for many years " This was the case in the early 2000's but hasn't been for a long time. Microsoft has no issue with running on AMD chipsets, unfortunately they're just not a quick or efficient currently as the Intel ones. Cal | |||

"Did you know that after a year you have to pay 100£ for windows 10? So I wont upgrade lol I am happy with windows 8." I think you have the wrong end of the stick with that it is free for life but after the year from release date if you want windows 10 you would have to pay for it. the support from windows 7 will end soon so will be no more security updates which will leave you open to Trojan & Malware attacks | |||

"To clarify, there is a lot of data passed back to Microsoft. It isn't however "tracking your every move" rather it is delivering personalised services. When you say "Cortana, where is the nearest Swingers Club", it needs to know where you are to find the nearest. If you want the adverts on websites to be more relevant to your requirements & interests, then again this information needs to be processed..... these things are also just the same as companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook,Twitter and Apple have been doing for years. It was reported in July, that there were over 67 million copies of Windows 10 installed World-Wide. Nobody is going to be reading through personal data from 67 million peoples PC's. Rather than being a big "Privacy Scandal" it is just the mechanism that's needed to provide the Personalised Services that the end users tell these companies that they want. Cal" If you want the adverts? I don't want ANY adverts. Advertising is killing the web experience for me. And is wasted on me. In general I know what I want because I research for it - admittedly on the web - but I am in control. This is especially true on handheld devices in non 4G areas. | |||

Why I ask myself has MS suddenly given you something free? It's the biggest spy ware software available on the market. Ask any compete programmer and repairer. It's a great piece of kit no doubt but it has so many back doors it'll makes fab look like a virgin. | |||

The advertising isn't optional though, you'll get adverts either way. Personally if I'm getting adverts I'd rather have relevant ones. Also, whilst I agree completely that adverts are often a real blight on the web, they are also keeping most of the Internet free. Many web based companies are struggling to fund their web services due more and more people using ad blocking software. Cal | |||

Anyone with Facebook(free) a Googlemail account(free) uses google search, YouTube(free) yahoo mail, live/outlook/hotmail(free) have already given away all their privacy, anyone who doesn't have software which blocks tracking, blocks ads, blocks certain cookies and uses the Internet have given away their privacy. How you think those companies are the richest in the world? Windows 10 can be locked down more - but in actual fact all windows 10 has done is be more honest about it - haven't you noticed the annoying pop ups from google lately - that's because they've been forced to admit how they using everyone's data. Oh and you'll all have Windows 10 eventually - all others will stop being supported and Windows 10 is last version it will just constantly evolve. If you want an operating system that is safer and a company that doesn't spy on your data - then move to apple and OS X or IOS. Equally less likely to get a virus. That said you still at same risk as soon as you open a browser or access Facebook/Google etc, but at least Apple try and block some of the spying these companies do. But every face book post you make is being sold For the user that said they lost their photos - bad mistake not backing them up - regardless of operating system - the primary thing that will often fail in any computer is the hard drive - and normally very hard to recover a broken one without cost - so always back up personal data, photos, email, documents etc either to a USB drive, pen drive, or NAS drive or better still some form of secure cloud service. | |||
