Endless problems with Windows 10
I certainly appreciate the update offered to go to Windows 10 for free, but working with this system has been a series of horrible and pointless errors that has resulted in a spectacular amount of blue screens and freezes that make me feel that the whole thing is barely worth the trouble.
I am up on my computer now, an ASUS N71-JQ X1, which generally worked fine with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I honestly can't say that I trust this system to be workable the next time I re-boot. As a rule of thumb I am saving the registry and a restore point almost every damn day I'm on this laptop, as the updates have caused an endless stream of crashes and freezes. What is the point of useless updates, and to be honest, why wasn't the Windows 10 software tested before offering it to the public.
My laptop is really unstable with Windows 10 which is unfortunate, as I have always been a strong supporter of both PC's and Microsoft having used them both since Windows 3.
This system obviously has it's merits, in both design and intent, but on this laptop it's a massive crap shoot. It's somewhere between infuriating and horrifying that I can't even come close to trusting it. I'm left with the sense that every time I use this laptop, it's only a matter of time before I crash or freeze.
That is disgraceful. This could have been a real transition for Microsoft, and now, my sense is the whole thing doesn't work with anything older than 3 years, with any real reliability, like my laptop. Ironically, I bought a Toshiba Satellite for my wife (L15W-B1302) and because is it newer than my laptop, it has literally never frozen up or crashed since I upgraded it to Windows 10. It's really annoying as the Toshiba cost less than 1/2 the price of my ASUS and I end up using it more than my ASUS because of these badly thought out update that crash my ASUS.
I don't want updates if all they do is crash my laptop. In fact, I feel the updates are poorly thought out and executed as a result. I doubt that was the intent, but I am going to do everything I can to avoid updates until I feel they are safe.
