Upgraded a Lenovo W530 a while back and was very happy until an update came along and I got trapped in a never ending cycle of reboots (sounds familiar?) Blue screens and loads of other problems. Booted with a Linux CD and copied all relevant data to USB and put the old drive back in with Win7, not too sure when I'll upgrade again.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I've upgraded all my main machines off Win 7 and Win 8.
Biggest pain I've found is the updates installing when it feels like it (even though you can schedule the restart)
Windows 10 is a much better OS - just need MS to iron out the niggles that some are having.Comment

Coincidence both you and BP had problems with Lenovos?
Hmmm. Maybe not, seems to be same problem with Windows 10 on various machines:

No, I left all my stuff on the same old Win 7. For now.

No chance, still on W7 on my main PC and laptop. Got no real motivation to risk upsetting what are stable perfectly usable systems. The SSD upgrades to both gave them a new lease of life. I am unaware of any 'must have' features in W10 that would make a genuine improvement.
Not got the 'pester until upgrade to W10' windows update I've read about as I don't install everything in the list only the important updates, so maybe it's stuck in the optional list.
Was going to download the full W10 ISO and upgrade my dad's PC that I upgraded to W8 back in the day, but after the W8 experience (and me having to roll it back several times to a previous snapshot after he installed a dodgy windows update) he doesn't want W10 until they've ironed out the issues.
They still force W10 users to install all their updates automatically I presume? If so M$ can kiss my
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

Frak me. You can tell they don't think their tulip stinks, and that there's no genuine IT illiterate alternative for people to move to.
Linux? Nope. Unless they start giving away live CDs/USB sticks in boxes of cornflakes no one 'normal' is going to get past the eternal question of which version to use.
The final solution will be that PCs and laptops are replaced with Dom Joly size smartphones running Android or iOS. You don't need a time machine to see that one coming.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Ah but think of all the money you'll save with increased performance and denser virtual machines! Plus 90%+ power savings and less rack space. You know it makes sense. Sign hereOriginally posted by stek View Post
