Ok. Always good to run every few months. I've seen in excess of 20,000 temp files deleted in the past, can really slow a system down. Yes, imagine them all indexed etc.. It freed up a few gb but mostly Windows.old. I've been comparing it to my daughter's beast of a machine quad 3.7, 16gb ram and 3g gpu. Mine's slower but not by much now. I've checked her machine, my and my laptops all no problem. Much do more maintenance on the gamer / use it more.. Perhaps getting something like Assetto Corsa would re-kindle my online driving competitive spirit.. |

Got Assetto Corsa. Not bad.
Will start doing a bit of online racing against pals.
The Lotus 49 sound great on full chat.
Need the upgrade pack to get a Porsche 908 & yes.. a 917 though.. never ends does it!

MS emailed me saying there's a new Outlook on the way soon. Good for me but it will throw my aged mum off. Anything looking remotely different to what she's used to sends her into a wrong clicking panic  |

Id forgotten all about this thread. windows 10 wasn't nearly as bad as 8 and it was miles better than Vista, but I still ended up going back to Windows 7. I live in hope of Microsoft coming up with something more like 7 and XP.
I recognise 10 has some neat extras, but for the basic needs I have, I just want the thing to be familiar and work without fuss. Anyone else reverted?

Gosh no, 10 is the most productive, most stable and fastest Windows to date. No looking back here, it's a good tool for the job.

I tried 10 on my Desk PC. Had terminal problems and went back to W7. Perfectly happy with it.
This laptop came with W10 and I'm happy with that too.
Little difference between them for me as I'm mostly online although W7 still allows me to use FoxPro Dos.
W10 may allow it in a DOS box or similar if I get myself sorted enough to look seriously at it

Horses for courses perhaps, but W8.1 is working trouble free on my laptops. I am not jumping ship.

What about a successor to 10? Do you believe the spin that this will be the last OS or do you think they will have another one in a year or two?
I'd like to see a return to an interface more like 7, but I doubt that will happen. A replacement could be even less attractive than developing W10 to me. Academic, I suppose because I will likely be changing over to a MacBook long before then.

W10 is in continuous development with approximately once annual big upgrades. 1709 is about to be upgraded to 1803 and is hugely improved over the original RTM.
A successor to W10 is therefore meaningless as it's a continuous process.

Now running Windows 10 S on this 32-bit 2GB 8" Toshiba tablet. It's perfect for a control/browsing tool and surprisingly swift. The fact that it will now only run Store apps (the S version) makes it highly secure and fast.

Do we all get this on auto upgrade ?

Get what, Windows 10 S? No, it's a version so you need an upgrade licence key to change the version of your installation.
If you mean 1803 then it should become available shortly.

Tablets too small for me and the largest ones are expensive, so I stick to my laptops mainly. I've been given another more up to date which was cast aside because the Vista install had all but crashed. No idea how it got to this state, but it didn't look to have ever had Windows updates (it couldn't do it for some reason manually or automatically) and the third party firewall/anti-virus provided by BT (I think) with his package had possibly messed the registry further and beyond repair. I couldn't even download a Chrome browser to replace the now useless IE9... In the End, I got it stable enough to lift off the stuff he wanted back onto a USB stick which has been checked for viruses etc., reformatted the drive and it now has a nice shiny new licenced Windows 10 pro 64bit install and has done the updates perfectly. One issue though. Windows 10 doesn't seem to have a files and settings transfer wizard. So if I want to graduate over to this newer beastie, I'll have to do it the long way round  |

Use a Microsoft Account, Dave. Add it to your current installation.
Then, when you set up any new machines, you give it your account details and it'll ask if you want to migrate settings from a previous machine and list them for you.

It's a BIG update. I've got one laptop nearly finished, the other halfway done. Just got two PCs to do after that.

It's not taking as long as 1709 did on our machines.
I really like the new Timeline feature, very useful.

I'm done personally, all machines running 1803 now.
At work, we've done about 20 so far. No problems to report.
