Windows 10 upgrade

[HereComesTom 2,268]

Wish me luck, everypony!  Tonight's the night I upgrade to Windows 10!

I say "wish me luck" because I've heard horror stories---face-to-face from a human being who had this happen to him, mind---that, if anything goes wrong with the upgrade, and you call Microsoft for tech support, then Microsoft sends all your computer's data to a company in India, and that Indian company basically allows hackers free reign on your machine!  It's been on the news, but Microsoft just. doesn't. care!

If anything goes wrong with the upgrade, then I expect I'll need to get a new computer!  I've backed up all my data on my external hard disk and disconnected it, I've moved anything I can think of that's sensitive onto the same external hard disk, and I plan to erase all my cookies before the upgrade happens.  But I could be shopping for a new laptop on Tuesday if this doesn't work out...!

Cross your fingers!

Win10 isn't really that bad. I actually really like it!

Windows 10, which I've been using for months now is a very "meh" upgrade. It looks more pleasing on the eyes than 7 and even 8.1, but it is a whole lot of "meh". The start menu is back, but it doesn't  feel the same, and a lot of the same crap that always sucked about windows still sucks. But it's Windows and it plays games, so what can you do? It's sort of like a digital version of Capcom really, you loved it back in the day and in its current state it isn't very good, but you keep it around for one core thing and hope it'll eventually get better.

I got a free Education edition for students. It seems to be much better than that 8 crap, which is already a bonus. I don't mind the whole "durr Microsoft tracking meee duurrr" thing, i don't have anything to hide on my PC anyway. It has several components which provide better support for new software, too, which is great.

Windows 10 broke this pc 4 times, my laptop 3 times, my friends laptop twice, was a forced upgrade from 7 that broke 2 of my ex comp team's $2000 pcs because it didn't install drivers, and has caused a headache for our infastructure. 

 

Windows 10 is a virus.

Good luck with the "upgrade", @HereComesTom!
