Nothing downloaded here .. 7 is just fine..
Should'a kept 98SE
I upgraded today. I had to use the internet and then search to find the snipping tool.
Annoying
ping
I’m sticking with 8.1.
It should be noted that the true finished version of Windows 10 will arrive in October 2015 with the full Threshold version, which will include an upgraded version of the Edge web browser that will add support for certain plugins (however, forget about Flash, Java or Silverlight support).
You weren’t the only one who had to play find the snipping tool. Avast VPN was the only other hiccup. A registry fix and restart fixed that.
Yeppers. 7 is the new XP

Less windows in Win10, less features, less customization and more big brother.
I, unfortunately, had to have 10. I regret it every hour I am on the computer. I don’t need most of the features and find that the ones I do use are more irritating. Used to be able to mute with one click, now it takes 3. How can I get rid of it?
I down loaded close to the beginning and still getting an A- from me.
My Sony VAIO STILL can’t download Windows 10. We’re still waiting for the drivers Sony says we have to have, with no updates on when those might come.
Sony has truly “screwed the pooch” on this.
I had 8.1 and did’nt care for it one bit,switched to 10 and totally pleased with it. Find it much more stable than the 8.1.
45 minutes to upgrade and still no create shortcut. I was warned and turned off all the apps.
In my home I have 4 Windows 7 desktop machines with mid-range AMD/ATI graphics cards (for gaming), a Windows 8.1 laptop, two Windows 8.1 personal phones (Verizon), and a Windows 8.1 work-issued phone (AT&T). Also a couple iPods and 3 varieties of Kindle Fire tablets, but of course they’re not the subject of this thread :).
I’m planning to wait until the November time frame before I upgrade any of the computers to Windows 10, and then use one of the desktops as a trial run machine, and the laptop. Some things I like about 8.1 on the laptop, some things I don’t - mostly the stupid new-style full-screen “apps” with no windows frame & the swiping in from different sides of the screen. Not a fan of either of those things. Supposedly Windows 10 improves upon those quirks, so I see only positives on the laptop upgrade from 8.1. The Win7 desktops I’m a bit more concerned about, but I’m definitely going to give them a go at some point soon on the hope that some of the initial kinks are worked out by then.
I actually like the Windows phones quite a bit. I’m already hearing rumblings from my IT folks at work about the work phone being upgraded to Windows 10 soon. I won’t hold my breath on my home use Verizon Windows phones though. It took Verizon forever to roll out the 8.1 upgrade to 8.0 (which WAS better IMHO). I’ll probably upgrade to something else by the time they do anyway, and may well end up moving to an Android phone instead. I like the Windows phone, but I’ve run into just too many cases where I wanted to try out an app and it was only available for Android or iPhone.
The OS is ok but the Privacy section showing all the invasion of privacy gets an “F”
I simply do not believe the OFF is OFF.
You can download themes to make it look anyway you want.

For anybody that doesn’t want to be bothered with it right now just remove this windows update file through control panel.
remove KB3035583
It is the Win10 installer nagware.
