I knew I shouldn't have upgraded to Win 10
Hi everyone, I finally took the plunge and upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7. Win 7 was really working good. Very fast and responsive. No problems but NOT anymore. Backed up my partition and all my important files. The upgrade went well. Win 10 seemed to install OK. Didn't notice anything except it seemed to take an extra long time for the installation. But it finally installed. Set my reso and switched to "best performance". Set up my task bar to my liking plus a few other tweaks that I've used in the past. Right away I noticed that the responsiveness was waaaaaay down. The hard drive keeps clicking for about 6 minutes until it stops after booting. Takes a long time for a window to open like opening a jpeg. Boot up is now VERY slow even with nothing installed. So I updated what drivers that could be updated but no change. Finding my way around on the new OS is no fun. Just about ready to restore Win 7. Running a 2.8 dual-core (over clocked from 2.6) with 4 gigs of ddr2 on a Biostar G31-M7-TE mobo with integrated graphics with a WD 200 gig HD. Never tried win 8 because of all the bad publicity about it. Wondering if I could download the upgrade again. Maybe something is corrupted in the download? Anybody have any thoughts as to what to try.
