Location: Where I am happiest | Does anybody have windows 10? OK, I know I'm not all that computer savvy but......we got a new computer. It has windows 10. When I try to post on BHW if I use a emoticon in my post, my post is blank after I submit it. Not even the words I typed are there? Also, appearantly I cant copy and past a link on here either with the windows 10? |

Location: SE Louisiana | Nope Nope NOPE!!! WinBlows 10 sucks!!!! Go to a pawn shop and trade it for something older!! I'd go to Unix or Red Hat or Ubuntu before I would set up to 10...

I'm sorry. I don't remember how I made my WinBlows 8.1 STOP recommending the upgrade to WinbBlows 10.. BUT, the option is there somewhere... I want XP back.... I'd even take 7!!!!  |

Location: Montana | I've heard nothing but BAD things about Windows 10, but haven't used it myself. I'm in need of a computer upgrade, and I don't know what to get! I love our Windows 7 computers; we have a work computer, a laptop, and my parents computer that are all Windows 7, mine is still an XP and I prefer Windows 7.

Location: Oklahoma | I upgraded from 7 to 10 this week..... Wasn't able to even get logged in!!! Wasted an entire day at work and wound up having to get our computer guy to come out and fix it..... And so far I've not seen anything impressive. I hated 8, so went back to 7 and 10 seems to be a combination of both. |

Two thoughts come to mind. Something I learned about Winblows a long time ago. "When in doubt, right click"... try 'right clicking' on the box.... also.... I remember in my hunt for a way to turn turn it off I found my way to the "automatic updates" place and shut everything down.

I keep hearing that 7 will soon not be supported and I need to upgrade. Is this true? Isn't XP even older then 7? |

How can you have had Windows 10 for over a year when it just came out in July of this year? |

I started out with Winblows 3.1 that had to be loaded over DOS 6.22. Yes! XP came before WinBlows 7. |

I loved XP!
It seems just like what they do with cars, when they have something good they have a mission to screw it up. |
