Who else has had Windows 10 forced upon them?

Wow! This thread escalated quickly!

We get it, you don't like Windows 10.

On a side note, it does seem like Windows 10 is a bit like marmite - you either love it or hate it. I've not met anybody who just said it was 'OK' - apart from maybe me in its early days last summer when I preferred 8.1 but didn't think 10 was 'bad'. But then the November update came out and it was much better for me on my PCs at least after I had upgraded to that. :)

Well, I'm one that neither hates nor loves Win 10. I have used Win 10 since the very first preview was released but since it went RTM, I didn't upgrade my Win 7 desktop, my Win 8.1 laptop or my Win 8.1 tablet. I don't generally do upgrades as I don't see any compelling reason to upgrade since the original OS works fine. I recently purchased a new laptop which came with Win 10 (typing this post on it) and I'm fine with it. If I were to build a new desktop, I would use Win 10 as the OS.

All apps is not same as Programs. On Programs it's possible to scroll with pressing first letter on keyboard. Does not work on All apps.

Start menu requires tablet like moves. Pick File Explorer and press keyboard right arrow. Now that arrow icon right of File explorer is selected. Press right arrow again. Nothing happens. Cannot open menu without pressing enter. So that requires tablet like move. This is probably because most (all?) tablets are missing arrow keys.

On Windows 7 Start menu every option can be highlighted with arrow keys only.



Ever forced to use computer without mouse? I have. Also some start menu selections are much faster with keyboard only if both hands are already over keyboard.



I waaas talking about Windows 10 there. Cannot remember 8.1.



Exactly. First Microsoft modifies Start menu to much more keyboard friendly and after that changes Start menu is more mouse + keyboard. That really makes no sense.



For desktop users I see no reason why that "modern" is modern in any way. Microsoft have said many thiongs that has proven to be false so better to wait for that "last version" for some time. I see no reason why these so called universal apps are better than programs, because right now programs are much better.



Why develop new desktop UI that is much worse than previous? Most Windows settings are internally same as on Windows 7 so just adding some Windows 10 options to Windows 7 UI would give Windows 10 functionality with Windows 7 UI. But no, better to develop new desktop UI that is worse than predecessor. Have to try that Classic shell for Windows.



Windows 7 start menu alternative power options are very hard to select with mouse. That icon is very small and hard to navigate with mouse. So that people learn to use keyboard.

For that change user thing. Doing that on Windows 7 with keyboard only is faster than using mouse+keyboard on both Windows 7 and Windows 10. Doing something faster is good enough reason for me to use only keyboard.

Windows 10 is good,I wont lie..but i dont like how they basically force windows 10 on those who are not ready for it yet or simply dont want it without going through all sorts of hassle to stop it automatically downloading it...same with the privacy issue,You shouldn't have to spend 10-15 mins or use some third party software (Anti-Beacon) etc to stop windows spying on you..then it gets re-activated after certain updates.

Must agree I'm also not too hot on how hot Microsoft are about trying to get the OS to install. My Surface Pro still has 8.1 Pro and I get annoyed by the notifications every now and then. I had 10 on it but 8.1 works better on it.

Maybe things won't be so intense when the year's free upgrade offer ends in July.

My next-door-neighbor and friend Jason who has a nice custom PC as well that he built (6 core something, 3-way SLI something, crapton of SSDs, 3 monitors, custom water loop, PC is probably worth more than his house, assuming his parents bought it, I'm extremely jealous of him)
told me this morning his PC (originally Win7) booted into Windows 10 this morning. Boy, he was pissed off!

Although as I said earlier I recommend the update, I find it very annoying that it is forced this way. It makes it very suspicious to have it install itself without your consent... Not a good way to sell your product...

He still doesn't have any PSUs laying around and as I said in the post a pic of your PC thread I'll try to buy the EVGA 600 watt soon

I'll try to buy it tomorrow then. I'll get my mom to help me order it. I can deal with it being non-modular, I don't care honestly. Now it's not so much of "I want a Corsair so I'll save up for one" it's become "my PC will explode if I don't replace it so I have to buy something right now" and the EVGA is a quality unit too.

Actually I can't buy it yet. I can't buy PC parts of Amazon because I've bought a lot of bad parts that needed returned so I have to save more money and get it from micro center. Plus this gives me a chance to get a PC Power and Cooling unit possibly! :D Maybe the CorsairGS600, I can afford that too

Edit: probably going uptown later for the GS600
