Keryx has one of those, how last century.

Older system? Luckily, she can just upgrade the slower parts, without being forced to buy an entirely different system.

fargon · 06-08-2015, 06:53 PM

She is running 7 now and wants to hear about windows 10 before she gets a new computer.

Come on guys, it's the only time I've ever seen a "nagware" icon in the tray from Microsoft, except to register the op system at the beginning, which was a good idea if I wanted to keep using the system. They've upgraded the damn thing, the thing everyone has had stupid issues with for the last 5 years and they want us to get a free copy of the upgrade.

I just hope it works with my ASUS PT2001. I actually kinda like the ability to use the operating system as a tablet and as a desktop.

I also hope that my Profs do't mind me lugging out a 20" tablet in their class.....

if your Asus doesn't support the new security protocols in BIOS, 10 won't work.

Once or twice a year, I downgrade my laptop and use 8 to renew my GPS maps. What a nightmare. I always forget to reenable the security and it refuses to boot until I remember.

If you want to remove the icon go to installed updates, find (KB3035583) and uninstall it. It's a recommended update that only spawns the icon.

Undertoad · 07-29-2015, 09:20 PM

It's launch day, did you guys click on your icon?

I'm waiting about a month or so...

I tried to install it over the top of Win 7 but Windows Defender quarantined it - said it was crapware.

I remembered I had a laptop I never use laying around. Installing on that.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-30-2015, 01:48 AM

Not everyone gets an icon, it'll be released in waves. I saw a thing about how you can force the download if you don't want to wait.

Happy Monkey · 07-30-2015, 08:07 AM

Update failed twice on the laptop. It won't try again.

Gravdigr · 07-30-2015, 05:08 PM

Is there a way to get rid of the Windows 10 update bullshit icon out of my system tray?

Right clicking does not present the option "Get The Fuck Off My Machine".

Gravdigr · 07-30-2015, 05:09 PM

Nevermind.

Well, I'm running Windows 10 and I made it back to the Cellar. Install time was 1 hr. 20 min. on my notebook. That's just installation time not counting prep time, downloading, and checking for post installation updates from Microsoft (there were 2 already) and HP.

It's going to take a while to get used to the new Microsoft Edge browser. I had to import my favorites [bookmarks] from IE and Edge doesn't have a separate Organize Favorites window. Modifying the Favorites list may be a nuisance. I don't see a Move icon that lets you choose a destination folder. You can easily move a Favorite to a folder or sub-folder by dragging it; but, I have to hunt for the way to put it elsewhere from there as the other folders don't display after the move and I didn't see an Undo icon.

Fortunately; however, Edge does allow you to easily open any webpage in the old IE browser with it's familiar Favorites format. That'll make the transition easier.

Interestingly, HP apprises that I not delete Windows 8.1 as some repair services they provide require that the OS be restored to the original version. I'll keep it until I would no longer consider having the notebook repaired.

That's all for now, I just did the upgrade this evening.
