Windows 10!

I just finished updating to 10 and I'm not sure what I think, but my initial impression is that having the start menu back is a gift from God and that alone makes it superior to 8.1. I think my touchpad might be acting up a bit though? It's a bit more stiff than I recall, but that may be me being a computer hypochondriac.
 
Okay, looks like I've made it into Windows 10 right now! So far it's doing so good, except for the white title bar (EDIT: and lower battery life, I'm wondering if this one was just me), and I'm glad the good old Start menu is back!

Oh, and I'm also bummed that I can't use Cortana, apparently it's limited to some countries, so if I want to use it, I have to switch the region in my PC or laptop.

I started upgrading right as the upgrade rolled out, and it did took me the whole night. I did some installing and upgrading at my tech workplace earlier today which granted me the opportunity to play with the OS a little before I could actually use my own copy. Literally, it is freaking amazing. Exceeded my expectations. There's still a few nitpicks I have right now, such as transitioning from the skype standalone app to desktop, as well as the search bar on the taskbar taking some room. I'll grow to live with them. Besides, I'm really enjoying the start menu. <3

Still exploring the OS as I speak!

edit: Microsoft Edge is awesome! Currently surfing PC with it.
 
After the sluggish installation and upgrading process it finally came.
The menu is so slick and just simple with nice additional apps to toy with :P
 
I dare say I love to choose a lockscreen which suits nicely with me :3
 
I would love to upgrade to 10 but there are several things that are currently holding me back, chiefly these problematic wifi adapter issues that are being reported and whether or not it's possible to dual-boot Windows 10 on a Windows 8.1 machine. I don't want to inadvertently nuke the original OS, as I've done before in the jump from Vista to 7.
 
Is there someway disable aeroview on 10? The option seems grayed out
 
I guess I'm hopeless to turn off aeroview ;_;
 
What does everyone think about the new Microsoft Edge? What turns me off about it is the lack of adblock support, but I'll learn to deal. You can easily tell that it's a hell lot faster (and less of a hogger) than Chrome.

The upgrade still hasn't appeared for me...weird.

Hasn't appeared for me either, but apparently it's a staggered release so not everyone gets it at the same time.


e: Checked my recent updates, there's a failed one labelled "upgrade to windows 10 home". I dunno where to go from here, but you might want to check that.

Run an admin command prompt and type wuauclt.exe/updatenow and see if you can get it that way
 
So Windows 10 really fucked up my computer. I kept getting a blue screen with the error "INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR". The solution to that seems to have been disabling all my graphics drivers... sigh. I also have a black bar on the bottom of the screen covering up a third of the taskbar.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your graphics drivers, by any chance?
