I have 7, and I'm getting messages that the 29th is the deadline to get the free upgrade to 10. If I upgrade, what about the apps I have on my current system? Will they automatically transfer to the 10 OS, or will I have to re-install them manually?
Thanks Chryssie!
I have tried using "cortana" and it doesn't help. When I type in "spider solitaire applicatin" for instance, I am led to the folder where it is located, but no application opens, just a folder file that is empty. Cortana has been useless to me.
However, on a positive note, a few nights ago I discovered that my start menu is now working. I have no idea why after several months it suddenly decided to start working, but I am not complaining! I haven't done anything different. It feels good to be able to access all my programs again!
Well, well. Anniversary update and a pop up from AMD Quick Stream saying that a license for the software cannot be found. A few days of that (and me ignoring it) and now constant BSOD. AMD drivers issue for sure according to the error msg. After several attempts of trying to fix, by either rolling back to previous build (didn't work), restore to when it was working (didn't work), and even resetting my PC (didn't work, probably because I erased all traces of 7 on there). I tried a few other things and the only way it'll work without BSODing is in safe mode. On the plus side, I now know how to boot Win 10 in safe mode.
I'm downloading Fedora.
I'm sad about this, because I do like Win 10. Oh well.
AMD is very unreliable when it comes to the development of their software and drivers. They're only marginally better than they were when ATI were still doing the developing. Which card do you have? Or are you using an APU? A lot of people had issues with Quick Stream migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and 8.1 too.
One of the things I know next to nothing about in computers, is graphics hardware. It seems I have an APU.
