    I upgraded to Windows 10 and don't like it. Things I hate about it...

    I had Windows 8 and got it working fine. I upgraded to 10 and I never should have.

    1. My old copy of photoshop doesnt work anymore.
    2. icons are so small now, have to squint
    3. My start menu is only 1/3rd of the programs I use. Not theres a list of 6 programs and a big space under them, and some tasks on the bottom. pain in the ass.
    4. You need a microsoft account to use Cortana
    5. All old files I used to use are gone from start. I have to manually find each one and when I do I right clck and "Pin to start" and they still dont appear on Start menu.

    wish I didnt upgrade. Fuck

    Overall I have had a pretty good experience. This morning though I spent around 45 minutes trying to figure out why my wifi adapter was not recognized on my PC even though it worked fine all day yesterday after the upgrade.

          I used Windows machines all the way till Windows 7. Once Windows 8 came out I knew my days on a microsoft machine were numbers. Made the switch to OSX and I love it. It took some getting used to but now I can't believe I ever used windows. I have a nice 27" all in one and a 15" laptop. Love em!

                  xcllnt thread, thank you. now sticking with my supremely dialed-in w7 boxes and portable.

                  windows/microsoft had a serious product problem heading into the future, was reading about it recently, i'll try and dig up the article. combined with their being out of touch with their customers = big trouble.

                    The biggest thing for me is the Photoshop. If I had known I never would have touched it

                        Windows 7 works fine for me. Why should I upgrade to anything else?

                          fyi if you upgraded to 10 and want to go back, its easy.
                          On Win10 go to start > settings > update & security > recovery > go back to (your version)

                          I just did it, took 20 mins, and now im back.

                              The thing that always pisses me off the most is that they always include a new email client and there is NEVER a way of simply transferring all of the accounts (some of us have multiple email accounts on a dozen servers) PLUS the vast archive of messages...over to the NEW email program!

                              They seem to think that some grandpa is the only one who uses his computer and has one hotmail account...WTF?

                                I know a ton of people who work at Microsoft Amazon and Google. The people who work at Amazon and Google tend to be pretty amazing people. The people who work at Microsoft tend to be people are kind of bland and not very passionate. and of course it shows in their shitty product. I walked into theMicrosoft Store yesterday and played around with the surface and other machines running Windows 10 and hated it. I use windows 7 do not plan on changing until I go back to using Macs

                                    When I was younger and I had the free time I used to get every new OS and tweak it and hack it until I could get it to do what I liked. Now.... Just get an OS and use it.

                                    One OS or another doesn't matter much.

                                              Which copy of Photoshop are you using? I have Photoshop CS2 installed which is REALLY old and it works just fine on Windows 10 Pro.

                                                I am happy with how I have tweaked windows 7 to my liking. The free upgrade is available for a year, so I am going to wait before thinking of upgrading

                                                  Which copy of Photoshop are you using? I have Photoshop CS2 installed which is REALLY old and it works just fine on Windows 10 Pro.
                                                  I have CS4, like it and I do not want to upgrade.

                                                  Will wait this one out as long as I can.

                                                              Most likely those Terminators will be running on XP!

                                                                        I had a monitor resolution issue so I just swapped it out and when I hooked it to a Debian 8 install I had the same issue so the monitor is to blame. The Radeon Catalyst drivers and api for the video card are bad on W-10 and no longer runs.

                                                                        I don't do any serious work on Windows computers anyway but our customers use them so I have to test them. I bought a tablet that is Android 5.1 for the same reason, testing the users commonly used devices.

It said, something about their angry with microsoft, especially with the new 10 denying search engines. I can't remember the site, but the point is, microsoft have certainly pushed boundaries & are trying to make os their way & no choices

                                                                                FWIW, CS2 was one of my concerns when upgrading from XP to W8. It mostly works, but still occasionally does some weird things, like taking over the screen, even when another window is selected in the task bar (have to minimise CS2 to be able to see the other window). Also, for some reason the "Save for Web" dialog suddenly became super slow - you can actually see it drawing out the buttons and text...

                                                                                Who knows what other weird shit is going to happen when/if I upgrade to W10?

Once Windows 8 came out I knew my days on a microsoft machine were numbers. Made the switch to OSX and I love it. It took some getting used to but now I can't believe I ever used windows. I have a nice 27" all in one and a 15" laptop. Love em!

Switched from Android to iPhone earlier this year. Another wise choice. I enjoy the tight integration. I'm sure soon enough we will be able to run our mobile apps on any Mac product. Seamless integration.

                                                                                        I used to be an Apple basher. Only now do I realize how ridiculous I was being. They're superior.

My biz partner didn't lose three days of productivity when PDFs decided to stop opening. Then, this thread. Win10 is amazing! Just like Win8 was. We never hear people say XP was the last thing Microsoft got right. Nope.
