Strange. Griffs had no problems with Win. 10.

You may have noted that the irony in Pompey's post was slightly elevated.

I got a popup asking me if I wanted to update now or later. I chose later. It installed anyway. Now my system is all messed up. I've got no start menu, no way to get to Settings and rollback to Windows 7. Many things (even task manager) don't work. I either get an error or nothing happens at all. Thanx a lot Microsoft!

Do yourself a favor. Don't do the upgrade!

My "upgrade" exploded spectacularly. No mouse or Keyboard during the beginning of the UI phase of Setup. Windows 10 never installed completely because of that. Oh, since Win10 never installed, my old Win7 could not be restored.

Even better, both my backups were rendered useless.

My ONLY option, if I wanted to keep everything on my hard drive, was to pull the drive out, install a new one (I highly recommend an SSD), install Windows 10 from media, put the old drive back in as a USB device so Windows doesn't try to boot off of it and copy everything off the old drive that I need.

Griff also had problems with the Update 1 install that he suspected had something to do with his "upgrade".

I learned a long time ago to keep data on a 2nd physical drive. At the most, I lose a handful of browser bookmarks. I had to reinstall windows last weekend, and the install took about 20 minutes, installing VS2013 and MS Office took about 30 minutes, and then I checked the updates - over four days, the updates that were applied totaled more than 3gb of downloads. I started the process at around 10 on Wednesday, and I wasn't able to actually use my machine for anything important until Sunday at around noon.

I'm running some sync software that I wrote to move files out of MyDocuments to a 2nd physical drive. I know I can change the location of the systems library folders, but I'm sure that even after doing that, there will some reason that any new version of Windows I might install can't/won't be compatible with that strategy, so I keep running my sync service.

Yeah, I've got that setup now. My primary is a SSD and the second drive is a 4TB where all of my stuff is now sitting.

I've got two backups running. The first is backing up to a USB attached drive. The second is backing up to Azure. You can never be too careful.

Nah just kidding, well i guess that's the spirit of it, you can make mistakes and you won't get punished for that. So you have the freedom to do more mistakes Smile | :)

Tashakkur is a Persian word and means Thanks Smile | :)

Though Persian is not my mother tongue, I like it. And often use this word while having conversations with friends Smile | :)

Sorry for inconvenience cause of my habitual word. Here's a cup of tea to compensate your effort of saerching it on google Java | [Coffee]

Okay, then my sense was right but i couldn't make up the "Thank you. Thanks" part XD

Ah, another habit of mine. Sometimes when I get over whelmed, I double thank the person. Once in English and once in Persian or my own mother tongue Wink | ;)
