Windows 10

[Superfly Guy]

Now fully installed .......with no problems whatsoever

What system are you running it on Robbo?

[Superfly Guy]

Might be worth disabling automatic hardware driver updates if you are a gamer or serious hardware user (video/music encoding), newer drivers do not always mean better drivers.
Control Panel>System>Advanced System Settings>Hardware>Device Installation Settings.

Select NO and NEVER.

GodMode
Right click on your desktop and create a new folder, name the folder GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Double click the folder and it will open up a bucketful of options.

Glad to see that still works, used to use it on Win 7.

Now got Windows 10, on my main desktop(i7 4790k, 4gb gtx970 and Laptop(i5 3230, geforce 650m), with no problems so far. Not really dug under the hood yet, but will have a sort out of it all at some point.

SFG, have you never tried Linux? As I use that for HTPC, emulation and other bits and bobs. Pretty mature OS now, very fast, and free, and a lot more secure than Windows.

Installed W10 as the automatic free upgrade from W7 Home Premium. Disappointed to find that I now can't use Remote Desk Top to access the server at my office. Was under the impression that W10 would be all that W7 was and more.
All versions of W7 had Remote Desk Top but, on W10 I'd have to upgrade to the 'Pro' version (cost £99.99) to get it.
I now have a decision to make - pay the £99.99 or wind back to W7 (I have 30 days to do that, apparently).
Shame - W10 looks brilliant apart from that (and noticeably much faster than W7 both on boot up and in use)

Nice rig, I have stayed with my i7 2700k (clocked to 5Ghz) as upgrading would be mostly pointless, I also run a very OCed and over volted 780GTX with 16GB of 1866mhz RAM, the CPU and GPU are both watercooled (as are all my rigs), I run 2 x SSD, a 500gb main drive and a 256gb for downloads.
My gaming laptop runs a 970M and an I7 4720 with 16GB of RAM, it has a 500gb Msata SSD and 1TB hdd for data.
Windows is fine for me, it is secure as the machines OSs are cut back specifically for what I use them for and run robust security. I thought about putting it on the laptop that sits behind and is connected to my main TV but it has a genuine OEM of W7 64 so il upgrade that to W10 aswell.

The speed bump came with W8.1 so yes 10 is faster than W7 but I don't think any faster than 8.1.

Have you booted into safe mode to see if its a driver issue.
Worth a Google.

I'm installing it on both the kids gaming PCs today, il see how that goes.

[mikeandsazzle]

Thanks for the reply .
Formated the drive and reinstalled

[Superfly Guy]

Both installations today were a little different, not as straightforward even though like the last three machines it was from the same ISO image straight onto a retail copy of W7 64 or 8.1. Different wording on the instal, very odd.

When upgrading do you lose any apps, programs, downloaded stuff etc?

No, you get an option to select what you want to keep.

Great, thanks mate

I sorted my remote desk top problem (the IT guy at work pointed out that there's a free W10 app you can download).

Happy now!
