I did 6 upgrades from Windows 7 and all of them are noticeably faster. There are probably some drivers that are still missing for 10, but overall it's not the case. If things are slow, try installing a video driver from ATI/NVidia/Intel and a chipset driver for your motherboard from your motherboard or PC website.
When I upgraded my NVIDIA driver, it was a noticeable difference in the lag for the better that is..
Go to your motherboard or PC site and download all the drivers onto your USB flash drive. If "Windows 10" is not listed, pick the highest version you can (as long as it is Vista or higher). Once you have all the drivers on your USB, you can clean install and then install each driver listed.
Did NVIDIA and going to do motherboard drivers from GIGABYTE now..
That works out then because apparently it's not possible. The HDD was tuned up though.
My knowledge of Windows, how to spell it.
Registered iOS developer and also Linux developer ( early stages).
Thank you for that information though, appreciate it as it applies to more than Windows...
Apologies if I sound dense but can someone please explain EXACTLY how to do a clean install? I keep laptop in tip top order, regularly optimising drives and cleaning up files. I installed windows 10 directly from the windows notification once it became available so why all the problems? The laptop won't even switch off - once I select shut down although screen goes black the light stays on, even though I've been into the settings and selected it to shut down rather than sleep. After about 20 mins I end up holding down the power key until it's switched off properly.
If clean install is quick and painless I may give it a try before reverting back to 8.1
I asked the same question earlier and nothing posted yet..
If I have a little knowledge here, I believe that it involves using a flash drive to load all needed drivers for you're motherboard, video card, Wireless adapter and maybe optical drive to. Then using that flash drive to "flash " the update via USB port instead of the "Windows" Update that pops up...
Maybe some someone can help more with this.
I have a 128Gig flash drive and I tried to take the update that way at Windows recommendation with no success.
Bottom line for me, it should be seamless as most of us are NOT computer professionals!
Fortunately I have a Solid State Drive that I can boot 8.1 if I want so I'm going to keep doing that for now.
27 hours straight trying to get 10 working right and I'm over it for now.
Tomorrow is a new day. See where things are then.
Best of luck to you
