Not scary, but maybe not worthy to upgrade if you are currently on WIn7. :wink:

For me Windows 10 has a few teething problems...but then again it was the same with Windows 7 and the sickly 8.1 update.
I have noticed a few subtle changes, one is that the amount of RAM and Processing power used by the system has gone down alot, before I was using around 2.8-3.0GB of my RAM on just the OS, but with Windows 10 thats gone down to around 1.9, maximum of 2.6, which does have a noticeable effect on applications :D
No need to be afraid of it though, and as for the laptop power that might be your battery or setup either way
And as for edge, thats just IEx under a new name, its terrible so I just deleted all shortcuts and swapped for chrome again

I kind of like Windows 10, I definitely prefer it over Windows 8/.1, but I'd still prefer downgrading back to Win 7 to be honest :)

Yes, indeed power consumption decreased in the 3rd day. :wink:

I think it kept updating for some time and has also caused some unrest to my antivirus. :lol:

Edge is very different than IE. It seems more similar to the crappy Google Chrome. So far that's the biggest problem with Win10, but one can still use IE.

Note I have never used 8.1... I upgraded from 7.

I expected a bit more, but it's OK since it's free. :mrgreen:

I have Windows 7 and I barely use any functions. They've e-mailed me to say I am on the waiting list to download 10. They will let me know when my turn has come. :roll: Gives me time to think, I s'pose.
