How do the minimum system/hardware specs for a business-grade computer look like that takes full advantage of Windows 10 security features? This could be a FAQ/tutorial topic with sample...
Since a couple of days, GWX displays 100 million, although it did correctly display 200 million before. I will be doing my taxes on that machine ... Well, no Windows 10 on that machine, at least not...
The legal environment as to software installations may play a role here.
US law permits opt out, i.e. the enduser must uncheck a pre-checked box if he does not want the upgrade. This may explain...
Windows 10 is ready for prime time on my hobby computer, but not yet ready for prime time on my more important computers - to answer the question in the subject line of the thread.
I have been...
Check the specified terms in the original Microsoft blog post linked to in my previous post.
Well, rather than interpreting a tenforums' thread discussing what winbeta.org wrote about Microsoft, how about getting it straight from the horse's mouth?
Here is Microsoft's own blog post by...
Yeah sure, some people want to stick with Windows 7/8.1 for now, and are discussing when it will be safe to upgrade to Windows 10.
Microsoft no longer provides Windows Updates under those specified terms.
I too have Windows 10 on my hobby laptop for the same purpose, i.e. gauging when I can safely upgrade my more important computers. Unfortunately, my present view is that you can't gauge that with a...
GWX is more assertive than that. If you click on the "This computer is compatible with Windows 10" link, you see further assertive details, such as "all your apps will work", etc.
I bought the cheapest laptop that I could find and only load it with the PowerPoint file and the PowerPoint viewer, and disabled everything else. Works well :)
You don't seem to realize that GWX has a built-in compatibility tester that tests the entire computer, including drivers, BIOS, everything. It then gives a guarantee that that individual computer can...
Microsoft is responsible for GWX failing, Microsoft uses GWX to guarantee that the upgrade will work on that particular computer.
Many fanboys do, trying to drown out legitimate issues :roflmao:
Microsoft does assure (via GWX) that a computer can be upgraded to Windows 10 only to break the computer after the upgrade, happens too often, just look around in this forum.
Edit: Even after a...
Somebody has a working Windows 7 machine from whatever supplier. Microsoft induced an upgrade that breaks the machine.
Sure that is Microsoft's fault.
Just look at the big picture, there are many more 'help me' postings on this 10 forums than on the sister 7 forums although there are many more Windows 7 users than Windows 10 users.
Or if you...
It is worse than that. GWX tell individual owners to upgrade even when the computer manufacturers say that the model is not compatible with Windows 10. Look at the Sony VAIO threads, for example.
...
A doctor is not responsible for all sick people in the world, but if a doctor takes on a patient, then the doctor is responsible for that patient.
In the same way, Microsoft is not responsible for...
This very forum and its many sub-forums show these inconsistencies in many areas, fuelling discussions between lucky and unlucky owners, LOL
:thumbsup:Excellent article!
FWIW, the best and the worst of Windows 10 at the moment, IMHO:
+ "Windows 10 turns the process of resetting a PC into a one-click option that works on any PC,...
Yeah, if this continues we would in due time arrive at Windows 3.1 :)
That was quite some muscle flexing for the big guys/enterprises :)
How about a better cloud for us small guys/individuals ;)
Give us BitLocker encryption for OneDrive, for example :D
I would have thought that Apple's iCloud users have public folders for sharing files with Windows and other computer users, just like OneDrive users have public folders for sharing files with the...
Sorry, ignorant question here: what would DropBox give me that OneDrive does not?
Both are cloud storage solutions :confused:
