Win10 build 10049 Impressions

I've been using Win10 as my primary OS for a week or two now (upgraded from Win8.1 as I was too lazy to reinstall everything)
I usually sleep it when not using it as my CPU fan tends to be running a lot (I have a lot of things running).

I am having issues with Firefox when resuming from sleep (I've also tried rebooting and that doesn't seem to help).
It takes forever for the page(s) to load (I typically have 20+ tabs open) and I have to launch Flash videos twice before they will play.
After fighting through this for the first several minutes things tend to settle down and work normally.

I'll live with it this way for now. Eventually I'll get a new system, will put a clean copy of Win10 on it, and then will wade through installing all of my specialized stuff onto it. Not looking forward to that.

EDIT: Just found 34 instances of Flash running in Task Manager

No issues in Device Manager - but this is an upgrade from Win8.1
It did have problems in Device Manager then (the AMD graphics card wasn't signed properly - Samsung requires an Intel signature, go figure!) - but those problems are gone now.

The bad video card thing caused me to not be able to play games. So I'll have to try that after the next couple of steps:
- installation of the Win10 developer tools preview
- backup and re-installation of Firefox
- back of the entire system (and verification of the Acronis and Western Digital software that I'm using from Win8.1)

For many, many years I have advised against upgrade installs of Windows. I was hoping that this one would be different.
Despite my initial pleasure at the success of the upgrade, I'm finding too many little issues that detract from my experience.
I'm probably going to end up wiping this drive and installing W10 clean - but that'll require several days of work, so it's not going to happen soon.

Hello, I'm using HC-Daybreak theme on Win 8
Special Themes (AeroLite and High Contrast variations) - Page 4
You can see if it works with Win 10, and post some screens, please?

I think it would be best if you did that testing yourself.

Good idea. . .I detest testing for others. . .it always messes up my system. . .

Correct.. it just feels like I'm doing someone else homework and that I totally detest. Give it a try and we can help if needed.

I test for myself-- I post results for others.... That is what pre-alpha, alpha & beta testing is all about if you're not a Developer.

So you place your taskbar as far as possible on the left? How does that make any sense?

It doesn't have to mak sense to you.. as long as the user digs it that's all that matters.
