I had (I suppose naively) expected that once W10 was on general release our Preview builds would automatically upgrade - but apparently not. I'm still on 10547 on two of my PCs, whereas my 8.1Pro PC...

I thought I'd be brave and try to install Total Defense's (paid) anti-virus program that works under Windows 8.1

It installed okay although did give me a warning about "some incompatability...

Yes and no. If you do a 64-bit install over a 32-bit install your old programs will be stored in a windows.old folder. You can then use a program like PC-Mover to restore some of your old programs. I...

I'm fairly lazy in that regard. The PC I'm currently using originally had Vista installed, followed by a Windows 7 Home Premium "upgrade" and then "enhanced" to Windows 7 Business, upgraded to...

For those of us who were brave enough to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Technical Preview this means ... ? We already have an 8.1 licence so we just install Windows 10 over the top as, in...

Finally worked out what was going on. The computer had originally been Windows Vista with the usual local account as Administrator that I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and then further upgraded to Windows...

An update installed itself and that was the result immediately afterwards so I'm assuming it installed everything it needed, but I will check[/QUOTE]I checked and there were two "important" updates I...

I should add that my web pages don't render text correctly in IE - only every second or third character displays

I'm guessing they've screwed up access to the user directories. Dropbox can't access my Roaming Data and Google Chrome keeps saying it doesn't have permission to access my credentials information...

Went out to lunch, came home, message that I needed to change my password, did so, new build of Windows 10 had installed itself, completely blew away my iTunes library and my Dropbox synched library,...

I plan on increasing the memory to 8GB or more

I have three people using the same PC, each with their own logon. Two of those people are not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier and are likely to click on any link anywhere. They only use the PC...

I have a 64-bit capable PC but to date I've only ever installed 32-bit versions of Windows. If I create a new bootable partition can I have a 64-bit W10 installation running there? (My guess is "yes"...

I don't mind the whole MS Account thing because I have three PCs in different apartments (one city: where I live; another city: where I work; yet another city: where I holiday) and I know that when I...

One thing I found (I did an in-place upgrade) is that Windows Live Mail stopped working. Even when I added a new account it couldn't connect. I ended up using the Outlook App

I did an in-place upgrade on a relatively old Dell Vostro desktop machine running Windows 8.1 (was originally Vista Business when I first bought it second hand in an office disposal, but did an...
