Windows 10: Issues With Windows 10

Hey everyone, years ago my girlfriend tried updating her PC to windows 10. I think she was running 8.1 or something like that and it crashed. Her screen was black and completely unresponsive and nothing worked to get it out of that state. I had to work with a tech friend and we re loaded windows 8 but she lost everything. We're trying to run a photoshop program on it that requires windows 10 and we need to upgrade again. I had a length chat with a microsoft agent and he said it's no longer free but he sent me a link, (link below) to download it. He said if the link works then 10 should be installed and it's a safe and trusted link. I'm worried that even if the link works her computer is going to crash again. Any feedback or advice?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
