Windows 10

[JacktheCatholic]

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, for FREE.

Thank you Microsoft.

That is a scam. Windows 10 is a free upgrade from Windows 7 or 8. Myself I am not to fond of Windows 10 the start menu keeps not working

What's Windows ?

I keep asking these folk that phone me - they keep telling me to look for the windows key - and get cross when I have to go and look for it in the cupboard . Pressing the key has no effect - I have to turn it to unlock and open the window - they don't seem to understand how keys work

How long before you tell them?

well - it's that or I talk to them in French - and when they hear french either the phone goes straight down or I hear the gulp first and then it goes down.

Have a friend who now answers them in Ukrainian

I have read numerous articles about the data mining feature of Windows 10.. I am sure that it is also present in Windows 8 and 8.1. I use Yosemite....

That's sarcasm, right?

Why you would toss out one of the best Windows versions ever (7) to get something trying to pretend it's as good is absolutely baffling; anyone who "upgrades" to Win 10 I fear will get what they're begging for (headaches, frustration, added privacy invasion, etc etc with little if any benefit) but I hope your experience is a good one.

Just remember you get what you pay for.

Ok sorry for posting but I have to say that this post was very unexpected to be found here

Yes. Isn't there a Computers and Internet forum or some such thing? I would think this thread belongs there.

 

[Anhelyna]

Why ?

Not all posts here have to be dull and Church related - mind you having said, that many folk need their computers for Church work.

Certainly not worth arguing about, but since this is a Catholic forum, it theoretically limits the audience of who might want to contribute to the thread (unless you're a rebel like me ;-).

So I went from 7 to 10, and could have instead originally gotten my laptop with Windows 8. ..this makes me wonder, what happened to Windows 9?

There was no Windows 9.

But your reply was in fellowship - and that's perfectly OK

You just aren't permitted to teach anything against the Church's teaching , nor are you permitted to debate here

 

[sylverpiano]

JUst my opinion here, but our non-Catholic friends are only prohibited from debating religious issues. Politics are not covered by the safe haven rule, nor are general social issues unrelated to faith. Microsoft vs. Apple is a great topic where we can all chime in.

I am firmly in the Apple camp.

Oh I'm a happy Apple user here too which is why I enjoy myself when these so-called Microsoft Technical Services aka Scammers phone me

So far my experiences with it have been pretty positive. If you work with any sort of SMB network (Microsoft File Share), Windows 10 is 5 times faster in my testing at accessing that network due to running SMB version 3 instead of SMB version 2 so long as the server runs 3. It has actually greatly improved the performance of three of my remote users.

I love the videos on youtube about them.
