I have a new computer now and 'upgraded'(???) to Windows 10 from the pre installed Windows 8.1 and as with last time, I just don't like it at all, particularly windows edge which to me is as bad as the browser that was on windows 8.1. I'm sticking with internet explorer. The email program is also crap but luckily I can still get windows live mail on W 10. The only reason I'm going to try to stick with it this time is that support for W8.1 will go at some point. I've had one error message so far so if they continue then it will be ditched like last time. I don't know why they automatically assume that everyone wants the same thing on their computer that they have on their phone.

wheres outlook gone ! cant bear the new email, takes a guide to know how to forward and reply. or add a subject heading when forwarding, which I don't think you can....awful, designed on a Friday afternoon, back of fag packet, CB

I've been using W10 from release day.. Really enjoy it to be honest. Haven't had any real issues with it..

I don't see that it's actually much different to W8.1 other than the fact they have made a few things worse. It might depend what you do but in my case I click on an icon and it opens the programme - exactly as it did on W8.1 and W7 and W XP. For the internet, Internet Explorer does what it has always done on all the previous Windows versions.
I have a touch screen, didn't actually realise when I bought it but it's pointless because the screen is so big you have to sit so far back that you can't reach the screen anyway

You need a pipe and slippers and a long stick for touch screen with a whip on the end when you get frustrated with it . ! sounds like its improved a bit then. CB

I have once again rolled back to Windows 8.1. Windows 10 just doesn't work properly PLUS I'm sick of getting notifications about stuff despite having ALL notifications set to off.
