Yes I have always agreed that when possible, return to MS for a refund and then buy a new one.

Welcome to the forum, there is a lot of info here!

I think Win 10, in contrast to every other Windows OS, has been so thoroughly vetted by members of the Insider program, that it's the first Windows OS that I have no problem recommending on release day. Does it have issues? Sure. But nothing major, and as users we just know so much about the...

Pretty sure the "registration" part is a great marketing hype thing. They've already promised free upgrades to Win 7 and Win 8 users, you don't need to actually "register" to get it.

Correct, OneDrive is how she connects the phone to the rest of her devices.

He's everywhere. Also apparently, a man of few words. :)

Very nice.

It goes on whenever the camera is on.

Honestly, I was surprised that Win 10 even comes in x32. Was fairly certain that Win 8 was the last Windows OS we'd see in that flavor.

If you look at the items, you can usually tell what it's for. iTunes, QuickTime, Flash Updater, HP-something or other, etc... those are all things that belong to apps you've installed, and while disabling them may prevent the app from functioning properly or at all, Windows itself will probably...

I've probably gotten that at least 10 times now....o_O

Just to join the chorus that these two guys are singing, you shouldn't disable any Windows services unless you are troubleshooting something or you know for sure what you're doing. :)

Good to know!

True, most get the update right away, some take a lot longer, days sometimes. No rhyme or reason that I have seen. Just keep hitting Check for Updates, maybe throw in an occasional reboot. Or like was said, use the ISO.

Edge is supposed to support extensions soon. But yeah same for me, gave it a quick 2-minute look under the hood and never went back. At the very least I require AdBlock Plus (in Chrome) or adding the Easy List to Tracking Protection (in IE), and Edge can do neither at the moment.

No longer being able to swipe back in the browser is seriously annoying me as well.

The driver you get from Micorosft isn't the same driver that you get from Intel. The one from MS has been tweaked for some power improvements and for compatibility with Connected Standby. The one from Intel of course is their general driver for that specific graphics set. Many users on this...
