Windows 10: From 7 To 10 To 7 ---- And all in 48 hours

Considering the absolutely huge numbers of configurations MS has to deal with I think they've done a tremendous job. Apple only has to deal with a handful of configurations and it cant even get that right, and with Android, most people cant even upgrade a two year old phone or tablet.

But I feel your frustration, I had to go through it with a couple of my machines.

 

BillyBob,
I have absolutely no experience of Apple but, in my opinion, they and MS are just two huge corporations whose main aim in life is to produce (in their eyes) saleable products at as large a profit margin as is possible, and as quickly as possible too.
I do think that, given their resources, and considering the number of third party vendors they have supporting them, a more reliable product, and one more suited to their customers requirements, could be produced.

Your use of the word frustration is very apt. Thank you.

Ian

 

Same problem, in a way.

I have a 15gb/month allowance, for which I'm bilked (no, that's not a typo) A$110 a month.

I have three weeks until this bilking-period ends, and have about 3.5gb left.

So no, Windows 10 is NOT FREE.

You just pay your ISP instead of Microsoft. *Tongue*Sad

Not impressed? You bet your sweet bippy, I'm not!!!

And yes, I know it isn't MS' fault...

Hi Wenda,

I am on the same data allowance as you, but I only pay (GBP) £13.90 per month. (About A$ 29.00 I believe?)
So yes, you are getting robbed at those rates.

Not sure as to how you reason it is not MS's fault though, for if they had produced a flawless product in the first place, data allowances would not have been hammered so much, frustration, anger and blood pressure levels would not have been so great, and the old "puter would now be humming away quite merrily on Win 10.
Still, it is purring away here with the OS that it knows and loves --- Win 7. May it last forever.

Cheers,

Ian

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention it's 4G wireless (not a 'dongle' but full home wireless b/band).

Here in Australia they seem to think wireless bandwidth is made of platinum, and charge accordingly.

The next nasty trick in their repertoire is, when you inevitably exceed your quota, they
slow you to a completely unusable 64kb/sec. *cry*cry

I know you'll be excited to hear that my installation went without a hitch, took less than an hour, and has one very minor problem. I really like Windows 10.
