I have an HP Stream 7 upgraded from 8.1 to 10 Home and while I can change the lockscreen, it keeps changing it back. It's almost like it's doing the service regardless of the fact that I set it to...
Have you tried going to your manufacturer or motherboard site and getting the latest Windows 10 drivers for your WiFi? I had the same problems on my HP Stream 7. But after installing all the latest...
While I haven't seen anyone turn back after installing it. Over 20 machines and everybody kept it. And anyone that had 8 is definitely not going back, but some people with 7 considered it.
Yeah, on Lego LOTR, my daughter and I have had to go back to my dual-boot OS, because the Windows 10 version blue screens 1/3 of the way through a level about 40% of the time.
Also, there's now a handy Startup tab in Task Manager, so you can stop apps from running at startup.
Another potential solution to your fan problem is to stop acting as a P2P server for the rest...
And the real-time scanning of your virus program has a lot to do with that. I upgraded an Asus eeePC 9" netbook (the original) in less than an hour without a single issue, including the download and...
The black screens were probably caused by your anti-virus programs. Quite frankly, I'm surprised it worked. You are supposed to turn them off first.
Here is a good article that somebody put together. You should be able to do it with this (especially see the last section):
How to Uninstall and Block Updates and Drivers on Windows 10
Just install the drivers for 8.1 or 8 or 7 or Vista. It should work.
I had my CD/DVD/BluRay writer not showing up the first time, but after rebooting it showed up the next time. I'm not sure what happened.
If you reboot and go into the BIOS (usually F8 or Del),...
The driver model hasn't changed since Vista, so even loading Windows 7 drivers should work just fine, even if they don't label them as being compatible with Windows 10, in 99% of cases they are.
I've been using the beta on my laptop for months and I noticed an immediate improvement in battery life. This should be expected, since Windows 10 shuts off unused CPU cores and loads less services...
Quiet speakers on Windows is almost always a sign that the correct audio drivers are missing (Realtek, Via, etc.).
I would reserve AT LEAST 20 GB for installation. I think many people are trying to upgrade with less (especially on SSDs) and having problems.
I mean, it has to download 4 GB, explode that 4 GB...
Actually, from my reading it seemed like the 8.1 to 10 was having more issues than 7 to 10, which really surprised me. Honestly, it's probably confirmation bias on both our parts.
1. Wipe the drive and install a clean Windows 7.
2. Upgrade to Windows 10.
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...
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...
Delete all the live tiles and shrink the menu so that it looks the same as Windows 7. I've done that since day 1 of the beta, so I've never experienced Start Menu lag.
For your particular problems, it sounds like you need to switch from Microsoft's graphics driver to one from NVidia, ATI or Intel.
Wow! You still have one of those that works?!? Impressive. You must really take care of your stuff. Mine died over 3 years ago.
If you play games, it's gonna suck. For business software, should be fine until they fix it.
And when your religion becomes a crime...? Your political activism?

In my experience, NVidia generally supports old cards for around 5 years, ATI for about 3 years and Intel seemingly forever.
This is why I no longer buy ATI. I was tired of getting stranded with...
