My best advice (other than to switch to apple) is if you find that you must upgrade at some point to windows 10, just buy a new machine from Dell. If it doesnt work then send it back. My experience with Dell is that they get the hardware & software to run right, most of the time.

That eliminates hours and hours of screwing around when you could be installing new security lights or something.

I will never switch to the other evil empire.

My Win 7 laptop is a Dell...thanks Ryan...I like it as is.

Older work laptop still running W7...nice... reliable.

Newer laptop running W10 (from new).... nicer... I do like the feel of W10.... but.... I'm getting sick of this shit at startup...

^ had to buy a new hard drive thanks to that shit. make the beast with two backs you very much Microsoft.

My non problematic start up.

One of my daughters is in that cult. She's always trying to get me to drink the apple coolade.

If you don't know, you don't know.

This isn't an Apple vs. Winblowz thread.

I only want to hear about how good...or bad Win 10 is.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I will go lurk in the Ban yourself thread for a while.

I may have already said this?

Windows 7 was / is good (I use it at work.) 8, not so much (forced on me when I had to get a new computer.)  It wanted you to have the touch screen experience, even if you didn't have a touch screen. It also felt like Microsoft was experimenting with their own version apple's knowing better than the end user what they wanted / should have access to...

Windows 10 gave me back almost everything that I like about 7. The blocky, touch screen UI is still there, but it allows itself to be sidelined, if that is your choice.

To date, the only thing I am not completely happy about in 10 is start menu....and even that has not been bad enough for me to research into a possible work around.

I have an ASUS laptop that I upgraded to 10 (from 8.1). Now I have lost my multi-gesture functionality from my touchpad...

So, it took me 10 minutes? and I found and installed a program which gives me back my windows 7 start menu, as well as pushing Metro further into the background.
