Speak of the devil... why does one hace to put a f-ing lawn mower together? The Briggs n Stratton 2 stroke I get. Since shop in 1973. All the putting the wheels together is a bunch of BS.

And the stupid instructions are in f-ing Spanish.

Yeah, it's voice-recognition software. Ideally, you'd tell your computer to do things and navigate to places, but it's not as good as my phone is with it yet.Originally Posted by Drummond
I never thought of trying a British accent... but I'm not very talented at mimicking any kind of accent, so I think it would only confuse the software further!

I strongly recommend no one ugrades to windows 10 for 11 months or the last minute before the year offering of free upgrade expires.
Once you upgrade you cannot go back to windows 7 which is one of the most stable Opsys. You couldnt even buy it to go back to it because MS has stopped selling Win 7 licenses.
Microsoft wants win7 DEAD and they are willing to give away millions of dollars in win 10 to do that. Think about it ? question is WHY.
The experts need time to rip through win 10 and pick it apart and then write reviews and recommendations. Give them time to do that.
You can do a simple search there is a little program that gets rid of the win 10 nag screen
Back on topic....
So far the only issues I've had are video card related, and Nvidia is working feverishly to get the bugs worked out. Specifically, when I go to launch World of Warships, sometimes (about 1 time out of 10) it will give me a black screen and just hang and the only thing I can do is power off - which, as many of you know, is a last resort kind of thing. Computers can get very pissed off when you do that... corrupted files are no fun.
From the research I've done, the problem is most likely in the way Win 10 handles multiple GPUs and Nvidia hasn't got a handle on it yet.
Game performance is actually a bit less than 8.1 handled the same game, which stands to reason if your GPUs aren't being properly utilized. My FPS is decent, running about 60 to 75 or so in the Beta, but where it struggles is when loading the matches with the battle maps.
Anyway, outside of Nvidia's driver problems, Win 10 has been rock solid so far.

Not a conspiracy theorist here, but I certainly am content to keep my Windows 7 and let everyone else work out the inevitable bugs and weaknesses of 10 before I, eventually, hop on board. We have until December 31st, so no rush.
This article is information about why Windows 10 isn't really free.

I'm not really sure why this guy is saying it's not free, other than being a Mac fan.
If you have a copy of Win7 or Win8 as a personal user, it's completely free.
I'm using the Microsoft Office suite only because it came with my computer, and I won't be re-subscribing to it when it runs out in a year - Open Office is free and does the same thing. MS has always charged for that line of software, nothing has changed there.

I'm about 20% into upgrading our family computer up to 10 from Windows 7. This is a touchscreen HP computer all in one thing. Not the fastest computer but not half bad either. This will be a decent test for me to see how quickly I want to bring my own machine over. No real data to speak of on that computer to be lost, so if the fan gets hit with the bad stuff, no big deal!
