Bad Win-10 upgrade experience

[FESS67]

I had an issue with my mother in laws computer where it was taking forever to apply the upgrade.

From memory I had to go into control manager and stop the windows update service and then it would do the upgrade.

A majority of posters thinks they are "fully knowledgeable experts" when it comes to researching, buying computer components, building and installing operating systems, then fully expertly knowledgeable about setting up and tweaking their self built machines and operating systems....

Nothing changes until you see them ask for help....

Same old stuff, different day/month/year/decade.....

The whole problem with W10 is not that it is any different from a user standpoint, but that it is forced upon you. The problems are well documented across the Internet. "Never10" was designed the way it is for a reason, and the other complaints are just as valid as the "I haven't had an issue" opinion.

And when you go to "relicense" after a hardware upgrade (usually a major piece of hardware like the motherboard) Microsoft will have to take control of your PC remotely (they will ask for permission to do so) by installing software and running the routines to clear your key and relicense your OS.

No big deal right? Until it is, that is.

Latrobe, the same issues persist today. Microsoft has not changed the behavior of W10 in all this time. I know you think you are an expert, but that's just arrogance on your part. You make it sound like I had to really dig deep to find a problem with W10, but the complaints are open and notorious on the Internet for all to see.

And when you upgrade your system there will always be the operator from India there to help you through the process.

Well I tried again "cant resist freebies" and all seems in order. One big problem was user accounts, for some odd reason this install is reading my user accounts right. Also when I tried the re-install today I got an error message and figured, well thats it. Then when I came home and booted it installed Win-10 "how and why I dont know".

But its working and already Im seeing performance improvements. I'll give it a good shake this time and see how it goes.
