Currently installing Win10.

I think you should bathe regardless of what Ki tells you.

How on Earth do you handle being so funny all the time.

Holy ****, Windows 10 is awesome. So smooth and slick and very nicely done. I am pleased.

I've got it. It's good.

The toolbar thingy at the bottom (the bit where Firefox/Chrome/IE/WMP icons are) keeps refreshing every 30 seconds - 1 minute or so and it is doing my NUT IN.

This happening for anyone else?

The new start menu looks amazing:

Windows 10 Wifi Sharing | Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Probably for the best to turn this feature off, especially if you live in an apartment building with multiple routers and wifi signals.

Yeah, I turned that off.

I'm sold.

Still your move though, Microsoft.

Done, thanks Pete.

I'm not sure if this was shared yet:

How To Stop Windows 10's Spying Ads | Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Is anyone elses streaming slightly lagging/stuttering since the change?

Cheers again.

Na not noticed anything, no complaints so far. That problem I posted about before has stopped now.

Seems quite decent of them to give this away for free.

Yeah, otherwise it seems cool.
I'll have to read up on this problem, when I'm less lazy.

Every time a new track plays on iTunes I get a pop up and noise in the bottom right of my screen. How do I stop this?

I am going to kick my cat in a minute :mad:!

It's LastFM btw, dunno why it's doing this.

Help me m7+1s :(

Hit the first icon within the "PC settings" option, then notifications.

Works.

So does anyone have any tips -- basic or otherwise -- on dealing with Windows 10? Haven't used a Windows OS since XP, and I'm feeling culture shock. I think part of it is that after a year of using a Chromebook I'm no longer used to working with a desktop (Chromebooks don't actually have one, except as a wallpaper) but a lot of the new features are just hard to get used to. Now that I'm not baked I'm learning it better, but it's still weird.

So is Windows 10 actually a good OS that I just have to get used to, or a new level of Windows unintuitiveness?

The Chromebook has its issues, especially when using it for anything but bare bones surfing, but it's just so simple that a monkey could do it. I honestly think it's an attempt to appeal to the elderly: no worry about viruses, simple interface, uncomplicated features, easy to get started/fix when you need to wipe the system, etc (Which I imagine are the scariest aspects of computer usage for a generation who treats computers with distrust and fear.)

I actually think I'm going to keep using my Chromebook for general web surfing, and mainly use this for class **** and just to make sure I become familiar with the system... cause that's one of the things I'll need to have down for that class ****, obviously.

P.S. I also have the office/student version -- for classes -- which I haven't installed yet due to laziness, highness, and a desire to learn how to work the basic OS before moving on to something new. Is Office a pain in the ass for a n00b?

OMFG. Transferred an mp3 from my external hard drive to my new computer, and apparently Windows 10 doesn't want to recognize an accent or whatever it is in the filename (Satyricon - Hvite Krists Død) and so it just doesn't work. Wouldn't be so bad, but I can't rename, delete, or alter the file in any way, so it's just sitting there, being an *******.

**** this ****.

Hehe, hvite krists død .. Kanskje du kan skifte språk til norsk?

Go fellate a haddock, you bastard. I'm assuming that you just called me gay or something BTW.

I suggested you try (temporarily) changing the language to Norwegian (Bokmål). It might help with your file troubles.

How would I know how to change the language back if it's all in Norwegian?

You may only have to change keyboard language (?) and then you can have several languages installed at the same time and switch between them with a button on the taskbar. Otherwise, you could keep the language options window open while you fix your file so you don't have to navigate back to it in the menu.

And then not **** up, of course.

Not entirely sure this works, but it might.

not too familiar with windows 10 / never had this problem, but if tore's method didn't work out (it seems like a solid solution though):

you could try using the command prompt to delete the file. type del "filename" into the command prompt (you can try dragging and dropping the file instead of typing its location/name manually.) should be something like del "c:\users\batman\whateverr\cute selfie"

if that doesn't help, do you get an error message when trying to alter the file?

Since I upgraded to Windows 10, I can't scrobble from iTunes to Last.FM. The Last.FM scrobbler opens but when I click to open iTunes, nothing happens.

Gonna install the old iTunes and try that and reinstall the scrobbler but if that doesn't work... :(

Yeah just do it again. Seems to be working fine with me since I complained on here. Weird.

I'm gonna stick with 7 for the time being. Maybe I'm a little bit old fashioned in the sense that I usually don't upgrade the OS on my devices and prefer to keep the original software that it came with. At least I know it will still run smoothly and not run like a ****ing snail like iOS devices do after one or two upgrades.

Had a chance to upgrade last week but I kept getting this black screen and I tried a couple of supposed fixes but none of them worked, so I'll keep to Windows 7.

Thats odd. Mine went fine and I was one of the first to get the upgrade. Though my PC originally came with Win8 so...

It's okay. Let the plebs stay in the stone age.

Windows 7 is much more better I think. Happy to use Windows 7.
