What antivirus is good with 10?
   I gave up on aftermarket antivirus". They screwed things more than they helped. Just let Windows 10 do it's thing and everything runs fine!!

I installed the Win 10 update on my laptop and my desktop yesterday. First I created an ISO image for both PCs on a DVD (just in case) and then did the update from the link at the MS site. It all went without a hitch and so far I'm digging 10. I've done MANY an update over the years that I've worked in IT and this was the easiest update ever.

The only issue that I has was with the laptop. The update 'app' on the taskbar didn't seem to work correctly. I initiated the download from the app and it told me that it was 'getting ready' to download the update. It stayed that was for a LONG time till I canceled it. I went to the MS site and initiated the DL from there and everything went fine.  For whatever reason my desktop didn't have the taskbar app.

what's ISO

"ISO image is a term commonly associated with CD and DVD burning. An ISO image (or .ISO file) is a computer file that is an exact copy of an existing file system."

Making an ISO image on a disk creates a bootable DVD that allows one to do a 'clean' install of the OS. Boot from the DVD, reformat the drive, and then install the OS.

Just joking...actually I have 3 PC's running windows 10 with no issues, 1 Mac with the latest software no issues on it either. Both platforms have their strong points and weak points. I think that the Microsoft software is more polished and user friendly than the Mac. Windows 10 has been just fine for me, it took a little time to get used to the differences from Windows 8 but once I learned the differences I think it is the best OS out of Microsoft.

Wow..
I'm late to the trainwreck, had to buy a real computer for momma so she could do business, just picked up a Lenova 15.6" nice unit, must say...
MS 10 home came on it... I felt pretty stupid working to setup with Office and Kasparsky, but it only took a couple hours to start feeling comfey with the new "dummy systems" type navigation and icon driven menues and such...being old school XP driven, I always like the old style "list" menues...and trees that I can scroll thru...
Well, I guess I move forward into the future, thank goodness I can run old tech, because it sure comes in handy...

Windows 10 says that it will delete the previous version of Windows that it replaced automatically in 30 days after the upgrade. Did anyone notice if this happened on their machine?

I did the upgrade on 7/20 and as far as I can tell the old files are still present.

Not so much, that's why I checked to see if the old files where still there.

I still have the 'hidden' restore partition (to Win7) on both my confusers after ?? months of running 10.

Thus far I'm reasonably pleased with 10, but miss some of the Win7 Start menu fly-outs.

Use the clean up system files option and you'll see the files. What's strange on mine is that yesterday the old files where there and today they are not. I guess Win10 knew I was questioning the 30 day deletion.

I didn't see anything of that size so I'm thinking it thinks that everything was hunkydory and deleted it, which is ok by me.  I ain't going backwards.
