Windows 10: PC Support Reps Tell Users to Uninstall Windows 10

Clean installs from W7, W8 & W8.1. All 3 without a problem and the new OS seems more stable and now I only have to remember one system. I updated one machine as soon as I was able to and used it as a guinea pig. Waited for 2 months and then upgraded the other 2. I totally like the new OS and am very satisfied with the change.

 

I have a small Home LAN 2 desktops 1 Laptop 1 Tablet (surface RT) 1 netbook, we use them for working and amusement and except for the "Surface" they are all upgraded/clean installed W10, it took me a weekend to set all up with sw, updates, drivers and perifpherals and everything works fine.
FYI, I tested W10 for 1 week on my own Desktop.
But at this point is kind of "philosophy" and it's a very personal decision.

 

Yeah well now you're talking rubbish.

 

I will send my 2 grand daughters over to teach you and others on office work,
They are both in business both use windows 10 all day every day running their burger business and doing orders and spread sheets etc,
I do their tax returns using windows 10
We have a Wi-Fi printer that works well both with laptops, computers and smart phones.
So there has to be some other reason you are having issues.
Did you update drivers etc before you upgraded.
When I say burger business I mean over 50 units rented out and they have to put it all on laptops, smart phones and come back and transfer it all
Not once since upgrading have they had trouble

Talking a lot of rot or they don't know what they are doing

 

Yup, there are probably a lot who just need answers and have come here to find them. I know, because I was told about EightForums quite sometime back because I was new to Windows 8 (whattamess!).

Granted, I'm far from a newbie on computers, but for my money, this is the place to get help (or even give answers), whether you're a newbie or a guru.

 

I've read the whole thread and one thing I see that's missing:

Major OEMs should have been (and probably were) testing Windows 10 from the time the Technical Preview was released.

These OEMs are building and selling Windows 10 computers right now, so they should have the where with all to support Windows 10.

Generally, Microsoft offers product to corporations, partners and OEMs for testing with the Technology Adoption Program (TAP) and Rapid Deployment Program (RDP), ways for Microsoft to get early feedback on new products or product updates so I'm really surprised that they seemingly know almost nothing about Windows 10.

 

They know enough to say: "THAT" PC needs to be reset to the old OS, if you want Windows 10, buy a new one from us." They are not so dumb as people think.

 

+1.. It's all about OEM's making sales.

 

*Thumbs*Roflmao2 Yup, but I was trying to be logical (and nice).

 

It seems not everyone appreciate logic and kindness.*Wink

 

They don't want people upgrading they want to sell you new all the time but offer you nothing hardly on a trade in
I prefer to upgrade and use the computer/laptop I trust and have got used to how it works and acts.

 

Good for you who use their Windows 10 for work, you are early work pioneers.

As I wrote further above, I have no issues with Windows 10 on my hobby computer either. I have used one my Office 365 subscriptions on that hobby computer, have a shared WiFi printer on my home LAN, etc., nothing of the usual stuff broke so far.

You missed that what I pointed out is something completely different, i.e. there are no early work pioneers on a couple of forums where I tossed up the issue, except that early work pioneers have come forward on this forum just now, surprise, surprise.

I myself have no problems at all playing pioneer for my hobby computer, but I prefer not to play pioneer for my work computer, the more so as I have no issues with my work computer either. I will wait until positive reviews on 'Windows 10 for work/office/business/commerce', etc. have become more common, it is a new OS after all.

 

you are right, but as for nowdays way of life "busines is business"*Devil*cry

 

I would think as long as all of the programs a work environment uses on Win10 it's ready for work usage. And to be honest why would someone post when things .. well just work. Usually the people who do are the ones that have either questions or issues with the OS.

I don't blame you for not wanting to make the switch but to claim that it's not ready for "work" is .. well an overstatement.

IMO

I might do what my grand daughter does every 3 years upgrade her car so she does not have to MOT it.
Being as my laptop is not that old I wont bother
also if still working ok then will just keep it updated with drivers until such time as it breaks my last laptop lasted me 5 years and I passed it onto my friend to learn on and it is still going ok.
He only goes on line for news and you tube so windows 7 does him.
