Peas who updated to Windows 10

I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 about month or so ago. I haven't had any problems yet and I don't have the hate that some people seem to. I'm not using some of the newer things they included because I don't need to. I don't find it that much different from 7 for what I need.

I upgraded pretty soon after the release.

I have an HP laptop. The problem I have (and most other HP laptop owners that did the upgrade) is that now when I close the lid, then re-open, the computer doesn't wake up. I have to do a hard shutdown & re-start. I talked with the geek squad at Best Buy and apparently HP is supposed to put out a patch for that but I have yet to see it.

It is VERY irritating.

I upgraded quite some time ago. I have an HP laptop, but luckily haven't had any issues. The only thing I don't like about it is that an ad will pop up from time to time trying to get me to upgrade my Office Suite and it often prompts me to start using Microsoft Edge, but I just give it a click and it goes away.

I upgraded to 10 and then went back to 7 when it wasn't compatible with my son's much loved Minecraft.

I bought a new laptop this summer that came with Windows 8.1, which I hated. But it worked. I upgraded to Windows 10 in early July, and I had a lot of buggy issues. I really like 10 much better than either 7 or 8.1. Microsoft should have waited a bit to release it though. It was a tough couple weeks there and I was under a tight deadline.

Now, it's all cleaned up and I don't have any issues at all. I like the focus back on the programs, but I also like to poke around the apps. I'm happy with 10 now.

My computer guy said not to upgrade. I didn't have plans to, but when you hear that from your computer guy you really wonder about it.

My old computer runs on Vista and I needed some new software that needed something newer so I bought a new HP. It came with 7 Professional and I could upgrade to 10 for free, so I did that first before doing anything else. So far, no issues (knock on wood!) but I was starting from complete scratch so there's that. I don't use half of the new stuff because I'm mostly a Mac person (I only use my PCs for work, my Mac I use for everything else) so I didn't even know how to use half of the old stuff!

I got a new computer this summer that came with 8.1, and I upgraded in September. So far, I like it better than 8.1, but with 10, I get a weird pop up window in all gibberish when ever it has to think too hard, but it goes away quickly. 8.1 used to give me a white screen that stayed way too long. That was scary.

I have 7. It works great. It will be support for a long time. I run a certain software that has major issues with 10. If those are resolved before July (you have until then to get the free download for 10) I might update.

I have a Windows 8 laptop that I will update, but I need to set it up to update during my late night free zone and just never get around to it. I only have unlimited internet between midnight and 6 am. Otherwise I will use my data allowance for the entire month downloading Win10

I had a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and it was already on it. I like it and have had no issues. It's not that different to 7 which I had on my old laptop.

I upgraded my laptop a couple of months ago and like it so much better. It came loaded with 8, which I hated with the heat of a thousand suns. I figured I had nothing to lose and I'm glad I did it.

I have a Lenovo laptop and I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 about two months ago. I've had no problems at all.

I upgraded from 7 to 10 about 2 months ago. So far, I've had two problems but found solutions for each.

1) Every time I opened a file, it was "Read Only." I googled for solutions to this problem and found that the following worked:

In File Explorer, right-click on Documents/click on Properties/Security/Group or User Name/Home Users (Owner-PC). Then check boxes for Full Control, Modify, and Write. Apply Save.

2) When my computer crashed a few months ago, it was salvaged, but the hard drive was wiped clean, so I had to reinstall or download many programs. However, I forgot to install the software for my digital camera, so I couldn't upload new photos to my hard drive. When I tried to reinstall the program from the camera software CD, it failed to complete the download, and I couldn't download it from the web either, because it was no longer available online. Fortunately, my husband has a laptop with Windows 7, so he could download the program from the CD. I then uploaded my photos to his laptop and emailed them to myself. I guess this will be a continuing hassle, but I don't use the camera often, just at holidays and family visits, so it's a tolerable work-around.

Other than that, I haven't had any problems.

I upgraded from 7 to 10, and the only issues I've had is that I've lost some of the software and features I had from Toshiba (that were "on top" of Windows 7). It's a little irritating, but I've dealt with it.
