Download Windows 10
« on: August 09, 2015, 06:19:33 AM »
I was having a problem getting the Windows 10 update. It kept failing. I tried everything I could find to get it to update for 2 days with no joy. I reinstalled Windows 7 hoping that would fix it. 300 updates later it still wasn't available. I was digging around and I found this. It worked.

Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

I like it. Had to reset my default programs. It automatically set Microsoft Edge as my default browser, changed it back to Firefox. All of my programs still work. I customized the start menu tiles.

If you ran your programs from your taskbar or desktop shortcuts you wouldn't see any difference between 10 and 7.

DirectX 12 was my main reason for upgrading.

That comment seems to have sold my son into upgrading. I wonder why?..
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.
