Have you missed me?

Doubt it Laughing Laughing

After upgrading to Windows 10 which caused my laptop to turn into a brick, I'm now back up and running.

Phew, I don't hear across the internet!

I won't do it!

No - you can't make me.

Not unless my lappy magically becomes touch screen in the process...

... Cool

My friendly computer supplier and fixer says that he has a large backlog of machines waiting to be fixed and data to be restored after people have upgraded to wndows 10. His advice is to wait until all the problems have been identified and sorted before upgrading.

My 2 IT consultants are saying to leave it for atleast 3 months and probably 6.

Good advice and I have no intention of upgrading. I'd take win10 only if I got a new machine - which I ain't going to do.

I like the EULA, says something along the lines of ' you give us permission to record, keep, use and sell your data as we wish '

6 desktops all upgraded to W10 and working much slicker and faster than before.

2 new laptops have lost loads of functionality (ie you can't use gestures on the touchpad any more) and Dell simply says "Win10 doesn't give you that function" SPAM lot of use that is!

My new laptop is on W7pro and will stay that way for the foreseeable future. I've lost 5 years of sent emails that I though were backed up because of Win10 grrrrr

You mean it's the fault of windows 10 as you didn't backup properly and were tempted by the flashing 'click me for a free upgrade because everything that's free is automatically better' Laughing

Nope, I had backed up, obsessively, even. I've no idea what happened to my email backup but it's done on the computer and to the cloud daily - if the file is corrupted as source .....

If the upgrade site had not told me it was compatible then I wouldn't have upgraded - it solved a lot of problems for the other computers.

I didn't lose any of my browser settings, or any data, just 2 days setting up the new one. Evil or Very Mad BTW Nothing is free!
