I upgraded to Windows 10 and don't like it. Things I hate about it...

[clickhappy]

I had Windows 8 and got it working fine. I upgraded to 10 and I never should have.

1. My old copy of photoshop doesnt work anymore.
2. icons are so small now, have to squint
3. My start menu is only 1/3rd of the programs I use. Not theres a list of 6 programs and a big space under them, and some tasks on the bottom. pain in the ass.
4. You need a microsoft account to use Cortana
5. All old files I used to use are gone from start. I have to manually find each one and when I do I right clck and "Pin to start" and they still dont appear on Start menu.

wish I didnt upgrade. Fuck

[atom]

Overall I have had a pretty good experience. This morning though I spent around 45 minutes trying to figure out why my wifi adapter was not recognized on my PC even though it worked fine all day yesterday after the upgrade.

I actually prefer windows 8 with classic shell. New start menu is still crap. It is so much easier to find what you want with the win7 style start menu.

New browser sucks too. First they take away the home button (but you can re-enable it) but now when you hit home it won't go to your chosen home page. You're only given the choice of a blank page or their "start" page which is bullshit. When I click home I want to go to Google.

Do the idiots not run these feature removals through a focus group? How could they think that was an improvement?

[Pseudonymous]

yeah i am dealing with the photoshop problem as we speak, wish i knew that in advance

[MrBottomTooth]

Trying to find stuff in the control panel is a bitch too. Hopefully there is an option to reorganize the control panel so it is laid out like the old style. Let's just take everything and hide it under a different bunch of headings. People love having to search for shit that used to take 1 second to find.

me too. i had that StartIsBack program for $3, worked just perfect. wish i could go back

[MassMarketing]

I used Windows machines all the way till Windows 7. Once Windows 8 came out I knew my days on a microsoft machine were numbers. Made the switch to OSX and I love it. It took some getting used to but now I can't believe I ever used windows. I have a nice 27" all in one and a 15" laptop. Love em!

[MrBottomTooth]

Well I seen how you can get the regular control panel back. Why they felt the need to hide it and replace it with the settings panel is beyond me.

[Andreweb]

What can I say until now I like the new win10 !

[Pseudonymous]

ya im really liking it so far, as far as photoshop goes.. cs5 didn't work (which i prefer over cs6), never even bothered trying my copy of cs6 . so just went out and got the new Photoshop CC

[Serge Litehead]

i hope photoshop cc 2015 would be fine.. i guess i'd have to google it before running the upgrade

[dyna mo]

xcllnt thread, thank you. now sticking with my supremely dialed-in w7 boxes and portable.

windows/microsoft had a serious product problem heading into the future, was reading about it recently, i'll try and dig up the article. combined with their being out of touch with their customers = big trouble.

[clickhappy]

The biggest thing for me is the Photoshop. If I had known I never would have touched it

[incredibleworkethic]

Using Photoshop cc and premier... No problems

[just a punk]

Windows 7 works fine for me. Why should I upgrade to anything else?

[clickhappy]

fyi if you upgraded to 10 and want to go back, its easy.
On Win10 go to start > settings > update & security > recovery > go back to (your version)

I just did it, took 20 mins, and now im back.

[CaptainHowdy]

I ain't surprised ...

[MiamiBoyz]

The thing that always pisses me off the most is that they always include a new email client and there is NEVER a way of simply transferring all of the accounts (some of us have multiple email accounts on a dozen servers) PLUS the vast archive of messages...over to the NEW email program!

They seem to think that some grandpa is the only one who uses his computer and has one hotmail account...WTF?

[VikingMan]

I know a ton of people who work at Microsoft Amazon and Google. The people who work at Amazon and Google tend to be pretty amazing people. The people who work at Microsoft tend to be people are kind of bland and not very passionate. and of course it shows in their shitty product. I walked into theMicrosoft Store yesterday and played around with the surface and other machines running Windows 10 and hated it. I use windows 7 do not plan on changing until I go back to using Macs

[iDa]

what about the new ms browser?

When I was younger and I had the free time I used to get every new OS and tweak it and hack it until I could get it to do what I liked. Now.... Just get an OS and use it.

One OS or another doesn't matter much.

[DraX]

I am sticking with windows 7 for a few years more, no need to change at least not for me.

[adultchatpay]

There are lot of issues regarding compatibility with the new OS.

[The Porn Nerd]

So Windows 8.1 will slowly die now?

Which copy of Photoshop are you using? I have Photoshop CS2 installed which is REALLY old and it works just fine on Windows 10 Pro.

[tadpole]

I am happy with how I have tweaked windows 7 to my liking. The free upgrade is available for a year, so I am going to wait before thinking of upgrading

I have CS4, like it and I do not want to upgrade.

Will wait this one out as long as I can.

Support for Windows 7 goes until 2020, there'll be Terminators to worry about by then

Most likely those Terminators will be running on XP!

[mineistaken]

Win 7 for me until they stop support as they did for xp.
So maybe 5 more years?

Fucking happy with win 7, not fixing what is not broken.

Hmm.

People complaining yet again about how the latest Windows sucks, or how it is slow, or how the interface is bad, or how applications don't run, but grinning and bearing it anyway, instead of daring to try something new.

Most Mac users used to be PC users until we switched.

And yet we are the "sheeple".

'k.

[bronco67]

I'll be on win 7 as long as it's possible.

It doesn't work with our WebRTC but is is supposed to with fuckin' special Fuctardo Edge special code :P It's internet exploder all over again. Firefox and Chrome continue to work fine on windows 10.

I had a monitor resolution issue so I just swapped it out and when I hooked it to a Debian 8 install I had the same issue so the monitor is to blame. The Radeon Catalyst drivers and api for the video card are bad on W-10 and no longer runs.

I don't do any serious work on Windows computers anyway but our customers use them so I have to test them. I bought a tablet that is Android 5.1 for the same reason, testing the users commonly used devices.

I was waiting for feedback like these before upgrading

Indeed, always best to take your time & not rush in!

I noticed an advert on a pc guide website from FF, a popover. It said, something about their angry with microsoft, especially with the new 10 denying search engines. I can't remember the site, but the point is, microsoft have certainly pushed boundaries & are trying to make os their way & no choices

FWIW, CS2 was one of my concerns when upgrading from XP to W8. It mostly works, but still occasionally does some weird things, like taking over the screen, even when another window is selected in the task bar (have to minimise CS2 to be able to see the other window). Also, for some reason the "Save for Web" dialog suddenly became super slow - you can actually see it drawing out the buttons and text...

Who knows what other weird shit is going to happen when/if I upgrade to W10?

I paid a shitload of money for CS2 - nearly 10 times what Windows XP cost - but I guess after around 10 years it's time let it go, and get something newer.

I also use PS CS2 and can confirm that it works perfectly fine under Win10

I switched PC to Mac in 2013. I've never looked back and wish I had done it sooner. Switched from Android to iPhone earlier this year. Another wise choice. I enjoy the tight integration. I'm sure soon enough we will be able to run our mobile apps on any Mac product. Seamless integration.

I used to be an Apple basher. Only now do I realize how ridiculous I was being. They're superior.

heads-up, windows 10 is something new. the entire thread is about daring to try windows 10, something new. certainly you can see that, you just choose to ignore it so you can thump your chest about apple.

Yup. Mac users do not know any Windows users. We don't hear people bitch. My biz partner didn't lose three days of productivity when PDFs decided to stop opening. Then, this thread. Win10 is amazing! Just like Win8 was. We never hear people say XP was the last thing Microsoft got right. Nope.

you're not good at reading, or anything for that matter.

heads-up, your stupid fucking post has absolutely nothing to do with **********'s incorrect post trying to insult people for "not trying something new" when clearly they are.
