Nick Tech: Windows 10-what's happening - updates (292* d) RE: Tech: Windows 10-what's happening with rollout 29 Jul 15


Well one down...

My wife's new laptop has done the transition from Windows 8.1 (which neither of us were keen on) to Windows 10 as it was available when I turned it on this evening. Took about 1/2 hour in all wile I watched a programme on Tv and it works fine.
*Old version of Office (2000) that is on it works fine.
*Two profiles on machine both transferred no problem
*Desktops have exactly the same icons they had before and backgrounds!
*Teamviewer works between machines
*Network in house works and all machines can still see each other
*No settings or fiddling with internet or anything - it justs works
*Chrome opens and favourites etc all there
*Passwords remembered etc for Yahoo mail etc
*No problem with wireless
*Boots quickly and shuts quickly
*My wife has never seen Windows 10 before and just got on and used the bits she needed as normal with no goggling or messing about
*Sound works

Haven't looked into Cortana or such because no real need yet.

Very painless and so far minimal disruption. And NOTHING like the hassle when she/we moved from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1
