The best upgrade I ever did!
« on: February 20, 2016, 07:46:52 PM »
So I was having lots of PC troubles. Sony vegas was crashing, Shadowplay recordings were showing up as corrupted, games were not updating correctly, and every fix that I tried was having no effect. I was about to just do a complete fresh install of Win7 and then possibly reformat my Hard Drive if that didn't work but then I remembered I had a free upgrade to try so I thought "What the heck? I'm doing a fresh install anyways might as well see if this works." Upgrading to Win10 fixed everything! No more corrupted shadowplay recordings as well as all the old ones being fixed, games play again, and Sony vegas works again! Whenever my computer does have a problem and crashes then my PC sends data to Microsoft to fix the issue. Transitioning from Win7 to Win10 has also been very painless. Feels just like Win7 but looks a lot better!

Win10 is quite awesome!  :aok

It is painless for a reason.   But I am okay with 8.1 for now.

I'm one of the few that has been hit by a bug in Windows 7 that prevents me from updating to Windows 10.  From the problems my wife has had with Windows 10, kind of glad I can't upgrade.

Have you heard that the DoD has ordered that every one of their PCs are to be upgraded to Blowme10?

How do I stop Microsoft telling me to upgrade?

@Latrobe: As far as I understand the upgrade procedure, it's pretty much a "fresh install" which saves your personal data and programs. You might have been able to do the same with your existing Windows 7, "updating" from within Windows to the same version you already had. If your problems were caused by a corrupted OS, that might have done the trick.

But if it works and you're happy, who am I to argue?

Trading one problem for another bigger problem isn't a "fix."

Not knowing it's a problem at the time is not an excuse, especially with all of the warnings on this forum.

The scale of the problem is subjective, he clearly stated that he is no longer having issues with his OS that he was having before.

Let me explain this in words everyone can understand. If you have not had a catastrophic event with Windows 10 yet, just wait long enough and you will. If you think you know better, then you're only fooling yourself. You should immediately take measures to prevent permanent loss of any files you hold dear, because disaster is coming.

I've been running Win10 on two machines for several months now and haven't had a single issue outside of a few older programs that are no longer compatible.  It seems all the catastrophic Win10 events on these forums are yours.  Deductive reasoning therefore tells me Win10 isn't the problem.

I didn't use words too big for you did I?
