    I'm not sure where you think I was being sarcastic I was referring to the fact that it relates to a place near where I stay just trying to be friendly but it's your choice if you want to take umbridge when others are trying to help. Hence the sentence ending in mate! Have a nice day.

    Windows 10 IMHO is a good os. Better than 7? Debatable. Better than 8 very much so. Seeing as from xp the step of a good version jumped a version
    Xp good
    Vista ~~~~~
    7 good
    8 ~~~~~
    10 good.

    But like or loathe 10 apparently it's gonna be the last version just gonna get massive updates that will kill something

    Now, the starters will miss out on a lot of new and innovative features which were not available before. On the other hand, for those who actually went ahead and upgraded to Windows 10, they are going to benefit from features and embedded services like Device Guard, Windows Hello, Windows Passport and Azure Rights Management, which not only improve security but enhances it by leaps and bounds, which will unfortunately not be the case with older Windows OS'.
    There is no denying the fact that Windows 10 issues and fixes are largely a concern for users who are quite satisfied with older OS' that they might be using, but Windows has proven time and time again that is dedicated to its new OS, which should explain the constant updates already being released for Windows 10 every now and then. It is important to note that Windows 10 security risks are next to none, and the only real way users are safe is if they upgrade to Windows 10, although it could take its toll on their pockets. But then again, they will get to enjoy a new and highly optimized OS, with better safety protocols like never before.

    Can you use a return key to make any further posts easier to read? Ta

    Keep to note, im just trying something out, my old laptop is on win 10 and getting clockwatch fault. So either overheating, (both cpu and gpu have been repasted) or CPU being overwhelmed so going to revert back to XP (barley used) and see what happens

    Well put windows 7 on, all good so far, so more than likely windows 10 does not support my CPU very well. Ive read the issue is can be caused by the OS trying to requet a thread when the CPU has not finished with current request, basically causing the CPU to lock up. (AMD TURION X2)

    So if you get same fault try frest installs of previous versions of windows. I actually dont think the CPU is supported.

    Windows = Bad!

    Since moving to a mac, I must say I would never go back to windows. Windows 10 was the end for me, although I agree that it was a step up from 8.

    In all fairness, I was trained on Mac. Now, I would not own 1 if it was given to me.

    As said I'm running a nice new build just need a gfx card (i7 6700k 16gb ddr4)

    Laptop nice and stable now on 7 so all good

    I have a surface 1 pro and win10 is perfect on it. I have a gaming rig and I still prefer win7 on that. Older games dont run well on win10 particularly if you upgraded and not fresh installed.

    Normally I am a Mac-user, and I've been so since quite a few years. But at my current job I am forced to use Windows. When I started here almost a year ago we had Win 7, and I actually kind of liked it. I used to be a hardcore PC gamer maybe 10 years ago and most things felt quite the same as the XP-time, with some cosmetical differences. However, the company decided to upgrade to Win 10, and now I HATE sitting at my desktop. It's horrible. Ugh.
