DB11 Posted 2 August 2015 Posted 2 August 2015 I've just registered my interest for it. The reviews seemed good so I'll make the jump from Windows 7
stripeyfox Posted 2 August 2015 Posted 2 August 2015 I like it. It seems like a return to W7. I quite liked the tiles interface of W8 but actually rarely used them. This still has the tiles if you want them but not so intrusive.
Webbo Posted 2 August 2015 Author Posted 2 August 2015 It won't let me use my scrabble game since I upgraded. It just says;Please login with administrator privileges and try again. Any ideas what I'm supposed to do?
Webbo Posted 2 August 2015 Author Posted 2 August 2015 How do you know you've got the download? There's a little windows icon on the bottom row.
davieG Posted 2 August 2015 Posted 2 August 2015 There's a little windows icon on the bottom row. Yes I've got that and click on it to reserve it. I then got OK notify me when ready. How do they notify you?
Finnaldo Posted 2 August 2015 Posted 2 August 2015 Yes I've got that and click on it to reserve it. I then got OK notify me when ready. How do they notify you? The icon pops up again and you get an email, I believe
Xen Posted 2 August 2015 Posted 2 August 2015 It won't let me use my scrabble game since I upgraded. It just says;Please login with administrator privileges and try again. Any ideas what I'm supposed to do? Login with administrator privileges, maybe? But in all seriousness - is that from the windows app store? I've had problems connecting to it/signing in, as has my other half, so I'm pretty sure it's a widespread thing... I've heard speculation that they've 'closed' it temporarily while the servers are dealing with everyone trying to update. Seems fairly logical, but would have thought that might have been publicised if so...
Xen Posted 2 August 2015 Posted 2 August 2015 The icon pops up again and you get an email, I believe Yup. Not sure it's available to everyone immediately though. I downloaded it straight away but I know a few people who couldn't get it. You can force it through using the command line but I've not tried it (as I didn't need to). Again, think it's their way of ensuring they don't overload their servers.

stu Posted 2 August 2015 Posted 2 August 2015 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO Don't need to wait to be informed. Just use the link above. Ignore the bit about needing a usb or disc. The file that it downloads will allow you to upgrade to 10 without them. Worked fine for me.
Strokes Posted 2 August 2015 Posted 2 August 2015 When the mobile one out, I've not got a of or laptop these days.
FrankieADZ Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Can't get my emails to work. thats one of the known issue's with WIndows 10 heard another say you can get audio drop out too, MS will fix them tho eventually
rico Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Few issues with sleep/hibernating on my HP laptop not turning back on, meaning i've got to restart by holding down the power button each time Not sure if its a Win10 issue, but the timing seems to imply as much. Hopefully it gets patched soonish. This is an issue i'm having too since i installed it
dorsetboy Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Can't get my emails to work. Open a cmd prompt and type sfc/scannow and let it do its thing that will fix it as I had the same prob
hairy Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 According to my ISP the reason for the download speed dropping from 62 to 7 is all you feckers downloading windows 10
DB11 Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Won't let me install it says not enough space on the spare partition drive or something
DB11 Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Everytime this ****er errors why does it have to re download every goddamn time and can't save the downloaded files somewhere to just have another go at installing?
Frost Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Tried downloading it via the actual site? Quite a few people seem to have had problems with the install.
DB11 Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Tried downloading it via the actual site? Quite a few people seem to have had problems with the install. Yeah it's not told me I'm ready yet but I've downloaded the installer. I'm getting so fed up of re-downloading that I'm making it into an ISO now to burn it and keep trying. Apparently the error I keep getting now can be rectified by unplugging all USB devices after initiating the install... if something as buggy as that is causing issues I'm half thinking I should wait until everything is sorted before upgrading from Windows 7

Yeh some apps need fixing. I can't remove an email account from the mail app, literally just comes up with an error. Contacted a Windows assistant and they couldn't even do it, absolute joke.
CKB Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Finally got it up and running and liking it so far. Mail doesn't work though and a few bits and bobs are acting up but it's still early days and with patches, etc I think Windows could be back to being a decent OS
CKB Posted 3 August 2015 Posted 3 August 2015 Disabled and uninstalled alot of shit though, Cortana can fvck off and all the other spying crap from Microsoft has been disabled
Frost Posted 5 August 2015 Posted 5 August 2015 Just been uninstalling some default apps. Really easy to do. https://thomas.vanhoutte.be/miniblog/delete-windows-10-apps/
