With appraisal like that, who needs critique?
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant Anonymous

I haven't used edge enough to give a thorough review but enough to know that I don't like it.
Downloaded a file. Blabla something something not trustworthy. - Cant run file from browser.
Search bar / url field. Annoyingly blends in with everything else.
Some random troubles.
On the last computer I installed w10 on id dint even bother delegating the task of downloading another browser to edge and just used my trustworthy USB of goodies.
Cant say anything about the performance.
I'm not a big fan of w10 UI and its the same with edge.
Once it has matured it may be better but by now IU think Microsoft should know better, It feels like they try to be different from earlier designs just for the sake of being different.

Hate is a little over the top, don't you think? Why waste all that emotional energy. Don't like it, don't use it. Simples. Save your wrath for something that matters like badly made coffee or a bacon shortage!*
* Don't panic people. It's just a for instance. There is no bacon shortage ... yet[^]!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Never mind all that. Its greatest failing is not being able to set "Open in new tab" for clicked links.

Some time ago, someone mentioned here in the Lounge that you can activate Windows 10 with a valid activation code for Win 7 or 8, provided you install the 10586 build. Today I tried it, when I had to do a family member's computer and it worked!
I installed Win 10 on a brand new SSD on a computer that used to run Win 7 Pro, using its Win 7 activation code. No upgrade, just a clean install. The 10586 build accepted the code and installed 10 Pro without a single hiccup. The installation activated immediately. All drivers were installed correctly, except for a Canon printer. I found a brand new Win 10 driver on the Canon website, and all was well after that.
It seems that, provided you use the 10586 build disc it is not necessary to upgrade first, before a clean install.

There's something wrong with your post. The paragraph containing the usual complaints about Windows 10 didn't make it through.

I really must try harder to dream up some complaints!

Well, it's been going close on 2 months now on my desktop - and nada problems. Maybe I'm just a very lucky sob?

I think this is more due to the fact that people who don't have a problem with something don't bother posting...thus all you read about is complaints.
Off the top of my head--I can't really think of any significantly issue I've come across myself. But then, I don't do upgrades--always clean installs.

I did a few upgrades, but always followed it up with a clean install. I have had too many bad experiences trying to upgrade an operating system.

Just had maple and bacon ice cream. Sounds like it should work. Looks good: chock full of bacon pieces, smells of maple.
Initially tastes good but then it leaves a strange after taste.
I had to have a scoop of salted caramel to cleanse my palate.

BEN & JERRY : There's no such thing as an unredeemingly bad batch of homemade ice cream.

That just means you need to eat more of it to avoid the after-taste experience.

Subject: Nigerian Astronaut Wants To Come Home
Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager
National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA)
Plot 555
Misau Street
PMB 437
Garki, Abuja, FCT NIGERIA
Dear Mr. Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.
In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.
Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number 234 (0) 9-234-2220 only.
Yours Sincerely, Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager

Hey, at least it seems like a new idea 😂

Ah the nigerians are applying a little imagination if not common sense. I applaud their innovation into ever more fanciful scenarios.

I wish there was away we could connect Dr. Tunde with Matt Damon. Those two could surely solve this.

After 15 years of weightlessness, re-entry will break every bone in his body!
