You know I finally took the plunge at the end of July when the upgrade offer expired.
The obsoleting of all my Win XP machines convinced me to do the upgrade - or be left sometime with Win 7 dying.. I still have a couple of machines doing stuff that runs WIndows XP. Now dropbox doesn't work on my XP computer anymore.
So I installed Win 10 with dread on two machines. My employer-owned computer's IT dept doesn't support Win 10 or Win 8.
Well it did go smoother than I expected.
Irritants: One Computer it says I need to activate it although I had a valid Win 7 license when that was installed.Now I gotta find the disc and see if I can clear the error message off the home page.
I get messages saying I need to update my printer/scanner driver
**** Wifi although its remembered has amnesia, I have to put in the wifi password every darn time it goes to sleep. I can't make it remember it.
Stupidest crap of all. The Win 10 Calculator app Scientific mode (which I have to use because of big numbers floating point, trig, log and exponentials I do all the time, does NOT have a stupid 1/X function. The standard calculator mode does. But if you switch between them it clears the memory. What kind of advanced scientific calculator does not have 1/X????
If I ever have to reinstall Windows, how do I do that?
