The Windows 10 launch wasn’t the smoothest around, but it went pretty good overall. Most people are happy with the upgrade and are enjoying all the benefits that the new operating system brought along. But it wasn’t good for everyone and quite a few issues for some people from trackpads lagging to browsers crashing and much more.
Microsoft was quick to release patches for most issues reported and it looks like they’ve collected them all into one package and probably added the latest fixes as well and dubbed it Service Release 1, or SR1. According to the latest reports, that is inbound for next week, the 10th of August. So that is great news for everyone that stuck it out despite minor trouble instead of reverting back to their old Windows 7 or 8/8.1 installation.
“Windows 10 SR1 is a cumulative update package. It will bring some new features, but the main purpose is to repair the system after release and fix the problems exposed.”
Later this year, Microsoft plans to provide more substantial upgrades and add new features to OneDrive and Skype, but most importantly browser extension support for Edge, Microsofts new and quite popular browser.
Have you made the switch to Windows 10 and if so, how do you like it so far? Had any major issues, then please let us know in the comment sections.

Everyone thought the 5th August update (325MB Circa) was that but on Twitter Gabe said it was just a cumulative one. I await it.
Good stuff. May have to download the stand alone package for this one and put it on a flash drive.
The following are the 3 biggest issues I've seen since upgrading, compared to Win 8. This is on a laptop I use for work everyday.
1. Shutdown and Startup is slower.
2. Battery life is significantly shorter.
3. Wifi tends to drop in and out as I move through out the building.
But there are certainly features I like better about 10.
1. Start menu is much improved
2. Improved file explorer (quick access, pinned, recent)
3. Multiple Desktops!
W10 has been running great on my PC without any issues. Might just wait with SR1 to see if there are any issues with it, before downloading.
I'm shocked that Microsoft is responding to bugs and improvements with a quick turnaround. Maybe this time they want to listen to their customers.
