Windows 10! Good or Bad?

[Erasmuth]

I'm actually not on windows 10 yet sadly...

the test machine I had running windows seven ultimate was completely trashed by the upgrade.

apparenyl during the process of enlarging the system reserved partition, Microsoft decided to not let it check to see if it was writing over another primary partition first.  This resulted in the partition where my windows 7 and windows 10 upgrade media becoming unbootable.

After trying to recover the partition using WinPE and Diskpart, I still couldn't get it to restore because the system reserved partition had already been rewritten at that point, and the factory image destroyed, as well as all of my restore points.

I was smart enough to save the key beforehand, so maybe one day I'll call up MS support about it, but seeing as it's OEM, I doubt they would do much.  In the meantime, the test box is currently running Linux.

Upgrading anything is awful, especially Windows. It's fairly easy to just do a clean install.


I could clean install Windows 10 and get it activated without even using a key, already had my license attached to my Microsoft account.

I found the upgrade to 10 was actually less troublesome than previous versions

Helps a lot.

Use on your own responsibility.

Bad for PC use because cortana gets mad when you ignore her and erases all your bookmarks.
Good for phones if you want to hide stuff but not when you really want to keep your game pages and passwords.

Uh what? Doubt she'd do that just like that lol (Also protip, use something else than Internet Explorer / Edge)

[shawcked86]

Was using, new chrome and the thing decided to delete the pages I had on edge, not explore.

You probably clicked something wrong (or discovered a bug) because I'm sure it all wouldn't intentionally just delete itself like so..

[shawcked86]

To each his own. I hate the thing.

[Nrein]

Just Disable Cortana then?

[shawcked86]

I just went back to the old windows and then downloaded the new chrome.. On a phone cortana can't be beat but on a PC its not worth it.

[Timmy Fox]

I'm fairly certain Cortana doesn't even have access to the bookmarks on Chrome... Let alone being able to remove them.

Again, sounds more like you encountered some sorta bug or clicked a wrong button than that Cortana is to blame. And as Nic said, Cortana can be disabled in just a few clicks.

My language doesn't support Cortana \o/

Was sorting hoping edge would be good.

IT'd be the unsung hero of internet explorers, proof that Microsoft can actually do good with browsers

Sort of disappointed, wanted an underdog story xD

Really? Wow, Microsoft went of the deep end. I tried to find more information on that and couldn't find any but if that's true, imagine what else she'll do if you don't use her; she could delete your games and other programs, or even worse things! I mean, good god Microsoft!
