Re: Windows 10 - To Upgrade or Not?
Upgraded my daughter's machine yesterday without a hitch.
The only bad thing I have noticed so far is that it appears to be a bit more power hungry than both Windows 7 and 8. I lost almost an hour of battery life on my daughter's ultrabook and about 30 minutes on my machine.

It could all be in my head but I feel like the fan in my laptop kicks into high gear more often. Not so much that I'm worried, but it's noticeable.

It hasn't happened since I posted that. It was all in my head.

One of the guys smuggled a smart phone inside is ass. It smells like shit. Plus I had to roll smokes for 3 days, and blow 2 guys to use it.BurtReynolds wrote:hey! did they let you out of prison for a few days?Sgt.

I'm still undecided on whether it was worth it.

I have to say I'm impressed on the smuggling job the guy did, it's a Samsung Note 4.

I ended up doing this for my home PC. I really only surf and listen to tunes on it, so I don't see a big difference. It's just new a look, so far.

Rolled back to 7 because I kept losing my ethernet adapter. Slight reduction in performance, too. There's gonna have to be some really good stuff to make me go back again.

Re: Windows 10 - To Upgrade or Not?
I really like it except for 2 issues
1. Chrome slowed way the fuck down. I reinstalled and everything seems to be okay
2. The touchpad CONSTANTLY wants to zoom, no matter how many times I turn it off.
This operating system is really pissing me off.

Re: Windows 10 - To Upgrade or Not?
The zoom thing is bothersome. It's happening to me because I keep accidentally using the touchpad while holdoing ctrl, which is what makes it zoom. For examply, if I want to search text within a page I hit ctrl+f, but sometimes on my way to hit the f my thumb drags across the touchpad for a second and zooms in or out. Annoying.@SkitchP wrote:I really like it except for 2 issues

I think its more of a pinch zoom thing, and if my finger is even off the button part and on the pad it reads both fingers and trying to pinch zoom the screen. It's driving me crazy.

Went back to 8 because the chrome problem kept re-occurring.
