I'm upgrading my grandma's laptop to Windows 10 right now, which this is my second time to upgrade a computer to Windows 10 (I also upgrading my dad's computer, which was originally running Windows 8.1), but I had to restart the upgrade because it froze up and had to restore itself back to Windows 7. I'm not sure if this problem is common or not (when I upgraded my dad's computer to it from 8.1 it didn't do that), but have there been any issues any of you have experienced when upgrading a computer to Windows 10?
 
Windows 10 itself is an issue

Really? I upgraded that one to it from Windows 8.1 and my dad upgraded a Windows 7 computer to it and we never had any issues with the upgrade or the operating system those times.
 
amen. and no i refuse to upgrade to that crap unless they fix **** to be honest. 8.1 works fine for me now.

It's especially annoying for artists, that garbage messes up tablet drivers and programs like SAI
If my computer auto-updates I'm throwing that **** out the window
 
Agreed. Everything I've read about Windows 10 makes me not want it. At all.
It messes things up, apparently has security issues.
Not my thing personally.
My computer works just fine without it and I won't mess up my things.

Hope that helps!
Have a nice time browsing the forums :lemon:
 
Yikes I prefer Windows 10 infinitely more than Windows 8.1 lmao :( I got a new laptop recently that came with Windows 10 preinstalled and I am loving the upgrade. I guess I'm the odd one out </3

@ OP though, I'm sorry, I'm not sure how to help you as it hasn't happened to me. Have you tried installing it on again? If it's persistent then maybe you ought to try and look into it. Sometimes on one of my old Windows 7 laptops it wouldn't install updates properly because one of the updates would crash and fail so then it would stop all of the other updates, and it would try to do this like every single night.

Well, this was my first time trying, so I'll try again next time I'm at her house. I just set it to download Windows 10 but upgrade at a later time.
 
Another thing I've read is that some computers actually can't even upgrade to windows 10. I don't remember the reason why, just it's not available for all computers yet or something along those lines.
Although it doesn't sound like that was the issue since it tried to download it, it just froze.

I'm not sure though.

Nobody should have to change their settings just to view somebodies tiny text, even if it's as easy as pressing Ctrl & +.
No, but I can read it just fine and I know everyone else can. This was the first time someone decided to be childish about it in my experience here.
I'm sure they were just mocking me for my choice of font size.
So it doesn't really matter.
 
i actually dont have any issues with windows 10. i admit, it did cause some issues with photoshop and sai, but i was able to easily fix those

i can read it quite fine, but if you were to use an illegible pastel pink color, then yeah thats where the issues come in
 
Never had any issues with its installation process or Windows 10 as a whole.

I've had it since day one and it's been a blast to use. I've barely ever had problems with it so I'm pretty satisfied, especially since most newer games recommend it.
 
My dad upgraded our laptop to Windows 10 but it took him a few tries to probably because our computer is pretty old. But he's a whiz when it comes to software so idk

I personally haven't had any major issues with Windows 10 so far except for this one time where I had to do an online lab and it wouldn't work for me. I basically wasted an hour figuring out that I had to redownload Java to get it to work.
