Getting dragged kicking and screaming into Windows 10
At our little low power FM station we have 7 computers running Windows 7. Being that the Windows 7 support is ending at the end of the year, we are doing the changes to Windows 10. 2 down, 5 to go.
​
So far - HATE Windows 10. The file explorer seems to be cluttered up with a lot of irrelevant stuff. Maybe this can be cleaned up. They also seem to have done away with the "New Folder" button at the top.
​
And it seems that it's back to "Control Alt Delete" to change user.
​
And I had to use the search to find the Control Panel.

ps - Also have 1 non-internet connected XP machine that is used to record audio off of the broadcast board. Works fine, but it did require some tweaking of our new file server. Not sure what's going to become of Mr. XP.

So, is anyone happy about changing from 7 to 10?
Is 10 doing something good for you, that 7 didn't do?

XP lives!
Still have (1) computer at the radio station that needs to go from 7 to 10.
​
The XP recorder computer is never connected to the internet, and is connected to a LAN that is not connected to the internet. It would be nice if it were faster (IIRC it has merely a 1GHZ processor), but it gets the job done. And it has a good search utility.
​
And I love it's Keep It Simple Stupid appearance.

Windows 10 updates being very slow???
Updated 3 computers at the radio station tonight.
​
The first one was terribly slow - It was sitting at "Getting Window ready - Don't turn off your computer" at 0% for quite a while (didn't track time, but seemed to be such for a half hour or more.
​
The second one was slow, but not as bad as the firstl
​
The third seemed to update in a reasonable time.
​
Anyone else having bad update delays?

Re: Windows 10 updates being very slow???
Another "is this thing working" slow update, which turned out to not be as bad as last time.
​
Windows 10 optional updates? Not doing, as my suspicion is that they're trying to install more crapware that I don't want.
​
Thoughts?
