windows 10

Currently running 8.1 and quite happy with it, but keep being asked to upgrade for free.
Is it safe/any good/any improvement?

8.1 to 10? Is this the "false Number 9" I keep hearing of?
(Yours, 8.1, scared of upgrading but will do when EVERYTHING backed up.)

Sounds like that was the hard drive failing that was the problem, rather than the operating system, seems unlikely that a change of operating system would need a new hard drive - or that "Microsoft techs" had to "work on it for a month". Changing hard drive and clean install is max 4 hours work.
You sure it weren't one of these Indians who ring up from "Windows department" ?
If you jump from 7 to 10 it's not a great leap as it's fairly similar, albeit with a slightly different interface, but 7 to 8 /8.1 was a huge leap and once you've got used to 8 it might be a pain to go onto 10, but it's definitely much more intuitive if you have a keyboard rather than a touch screen

Windows 10 ruined my old computer that was running 7. Had to have microsoft techs work on it for about a month. had to install a new hard drive, and everything was wiped clean. everything was backed up, but it was also my work computer. I ended up just buying a new laptop which runs 8.1. I don't recommend it.

'and simply deleted the "patch" that keeps reminding me to upgrade.'
So how do I do this? Fucking pain in the arse with their popups. Many thanks in advance.

Been using it for a few months now and like it, much better than the 8 or 8.1 crap, had a couple of initial issues but all sorted now.

Been using 10 for the last month or so, having moved straight from 7. It's fine, does the job with a few nice touches.

It uploads an awful lot of personal data to Microsoft unless you're quick enough to configure it on the fly whilst installing it - and even then it still sneaks shit off your drive.
My laptop came with Windows 8 pre-installed and that got dumped in favour of Ubuntu before the first day was out. I run Windows 7 in a virtual machine and simply deleted the "patch" that keeps reminding me to upgrade.
Never understood this obsession with Windows or Mac O/S: it verges on Christian vs Muslim for some people..

My laptop shipped with 8.1 which I found terrible.
Upgraded to 10 which felt bogged down.
Once I did a complete wipe and clean install I've found it to be brilliant, as stable as OSX which I didn't really want to leave.
Supports 4k really well too.

I was using 8.1 with a program called Start8 to give it a similar interface to win 7 and it was great. Now I find in win 10 that if I try to open a movie or photo, it takes ages to come up.

Had it for a bit but I then had an issue with my laptop and had to factory reset. I have 7 on my laptop and haven't bothered going back to 10.
I also had a problem with not being able to close some programs via Task Manager which got on my tits.

Re: windows 10

I upgraded.
the start button is back more or less as it was, which is kind of nice. But I have 4 error messages that come up everything I start. no idea why and am just living with them.
Otherwise looks the same. Error messages piss me off and would be happy to not have them and not have upgraded.
I was getting used to 8,1 and do not see any improvement.

My youngest brother upgraded and massively regretted it. I had to help him switch back to 7. Ball-ache.
Best swerved, I reckon.
