What took you so long to make the decision, Mike?

Positive smoke test and time to get good deal on MB, couple of hours at most. Ordered online and coming in two days.
There's a funny law around here, if you by something online, you have 15 days to return for refund or exchange item, no questions asked, unlike when you buy in the store when you have just two days to change your mind if not satisfied. So I order online whenever possible. Plus, computer stores are pretty poorly stocked with more expensive stuff and would have to wait a day or two anyway and go there twice most likely. Most of stuff bought online is COD too, they bring, you pay, end of story.

Got 'er done! Gotta ask one more question . . . I chose the first "studio" quality of the 16 bit. Should I choose anything higher than that? I don't exactly have a tin ear, but . . . I do like sound to be good.

Over on Microsoft Community there is a discussion about Audio. It appears there is something that MS is aware of that they have broken and will fix it in coming builds.

Anyone experienced the start icon no longer working? I have read, through all the builds, that some have had the problem, but this is a first for me. The couple of suggested "fixes" don't seem to be of any use either. (changing the display to high contrast, or applying Dism)

I've had the same issue on a few test installs although mostly it does work. Interesting though, this usually only occurs with accounts existing before the upgrade to 10130, or when doing a clean install only with the initial user account created in OOBE. Start works, at least for me, on each new account created after the upgrade has finished or the clean install has booted to desktop.

If the Start does not work you can get to Settings app to create new user with WIN+I (letter i, not L), or create the new users with NET USER Username Password /ADD command.

What I have done in these cases is to create a dummy admin user, sign out from current user and sign in to this temporary dummy user, remove all existing users and recreate them. Start Menu works now, at least in my tests, for all users.
