Windows 10: View Poll Results: Staying with Windows 10 or not?

I refuse to be old and stupid but still can't see connection between my age and an OS.

 

And I may be slow and sullen, but yet dull, but at 73 I am also enjoying my new OS mightily.

 

Thanks guys, ya'll make me feel young again! I'll be only 50 in November, but it explains why you know so much about Windows-- you had a big head start*Biggrin My first "contact" with a computer(not PC) was in the 4th or 5th grade on a school trip to the Boston Museum of Science. Something from Digital.

 

Ok, ok. we'll call you Baby Cliffy.

 

There's so much right with W10, but the email/calendar is erratic at best, you can't, or at least I can't, rely on it. Until that's sorted I've gone back to W7.

 

There's many third party programs for those things.

 

Definitely staying with Win 10.

All 4 Desktop in Win 10 Prof, operating without any problem.
Two laptops in Win 10 Prof and got excellent experience.
Keep two desktop drives. One in Win 7 and Win 8.1 for support purpose!

 

To what one is comfortable with.

 

Agreed!
In all seriousness though, I haven't used my Desktop PC for anything really important for the past 10 months, (except for testing Windows 10! *Wink ), but I find I'm way more productive on Windows 10, I'm learning more, all in all, progressing forward.
The odd time I'll go over to Windows 8.1 partition, but I don't do anything there, I don't learn anything there, so......
"To each his own"

EDIT: Yes, I've 'voiced' my share of complaints too! *Redface

 

I'm staying with 10. I see people talk about a learning curve and I just can't see it. I ran Windows 7 Pro for years and loved it and went back once. I didn't like the start menu anymnore and missed the opportunity to be in on something new and progressive.

I was a beta tester for a year prior to this release and the work that MS has done since those early days is extraordinary. The interface has progressed and issues people complained about in 8 and 8.1 have been resolved. There are things still to be worked on and I fully expect MS to issue updates to resolve those in the near future.

I say "well done."

Why are you using 10`s email program ?

 

I believe, looking back, that needing to use Reset My PC after the first install led to a much smoother experience afterwards.

The only hitch was reinstalling programs, but that may have been a Good Idea anyway. And nearly all of my important programs were downloads, so I probably avoided reinstalling crud on the W10 side.

 

I have all of my programs that I use on a separate drive so it's easy for me to reinstall them.

 

I tried it myself for a few days, and quickly tired of using it.

Since I converted back to a local account (my Microsoft account was an old throw away Hotmail account I have never actually used for real E-mail), I returned to my previous behavior - using the web version of Gmail.
