Metro menu is available in Tablet mode. It is basically a maximized version of the new start menu.

Just got the notification and installed Win 10 (previously Win 7). So far very pleased. Faster start-up and much smoother interface.

are you guys using Edge as main browser?seems kinda laggy

Upgraded over the weekend. Pretty painless install.

Edge browser is nice, but can't use it full-time until it gets Adblock

installed it on the weekend, and since then, my screen saver wont work/computer wont sleep or hibernate on its own as it is set in my powerplan (screen off after 5 minutes, sleep after 30 minutes). If I force it on with a hotkey, it'll only stay on for a half second before going off. I tried looking up the problem, and seems as if lots of others are having the same problem. Tried resetting the theme, changing everything around, etc etc, but no lucky. :(

any suggestions on my end?


On the other hand, 10 seems nice so far

It seems like some older computers are having problems with Windows 10 sleep and hibernation modes. Some even report that the computer won't wake up from sleep and hibernation modes...
I don't use either feature, so I'm OK for now.

anyone have issues with youtube loading videos? seems like the first few seconds, the picture would freeze or lag where as the sound is fine. would always happen at arnd 2-5 sec mark on almost every video.

^happens to me right now too, even with windows 8.1. i'm using chrome, not sure if that makes a difference.

did a clean install. once i install the nvidia drivers, it won't boot anymore

Not really feeling the new Nvidia drivers for Windows 10. I have intermittent lag issues now while playing games.

FYI for people who didnt know about this like me

How to stop Windows 10 from using your PC's bandwidth to update strangers' systems | PCWorld

windows 10 by default uses your computer as a P2P server to download and upload new updates aka torrent style. might want to have this feature turned off specially for ppl who r limited on their data caps each month

Decided to upgrade my laptop the other night. Pretty easy install, which was nice. Only downsides I've noticed is that a couple drivers aren't working. My onboard speakers aren't working (sound only coming from the tiny speaker built into the MB), HDMI port stopped working, and the gesture controls on the trackpad stopped working after my last reboot... though they were working initially.

Edit: Actually managed to fix the trackpad - turns out Win10 defaulted everything to tablet style controls. Had to change 'em back.

will my computer be reformatted if I do the update through windows update?

how is everyone liking it so far? worth updating from wins 7?

No, it wont format your hard drive. It simply acts as another windows update; that is, it just loads Win 10 on top of your existing OS. Your files and programs will stay where they are.

Any Microsoft Excel compatible with Windows 10?

Been using Excel 2007 with Windows 8 and now its no longer opening/giving me error messages...

im using office 2013, works fine

from Windows 10?

if so it's only a 1 month trial.. i guess i could get it in a different way after my trial expires :lol

Does anyone know when the free upgrade offer ends?

yeah, everything i was using on win 8.1 works in 10 :/

you could buy it with a student email, iirc office 2013 was only $30 :)

Isn't it just 1 year after the release? So July 2016?

Many medium/large employers also have Microsoft's Office at Home program available to their employees for $12.

not quite sure how to delete that old windows folder, 30gb!

Run Disk Cleanup. After it loads, click on the "Clean up system files" button. Check the box for "previous windows installation". You cannot uninstall Windows 10 and go back to your old Windows version after doing this.

Any hookups for HUP for office? I had HUP for 2010 edition but the download link doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to find a download for it so far. WOuldn't mind just going to 2013 instead :)

Has anyone on Win10 been experiencing random freezes or the blue screen error?
