untrue, you should not need to double your RAM

Linx users seem to be using it fine with only 2gb ram so not a necessity to need loads of ram.

I am back at the weekend and will try a couple of vms before doing my physical boxes and Linx to have a look compared to the tech preview which I had no issues with and ran fine on 2gb ram.

Does anyone use Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) and RDP from home to their work connection? because it doesn't work under Win10 Home anymore from what I can see, unless maybe you are using Win10 PRO!

Which means I would need to use something ***** like GoToMyPC instead, bla.

I had installed Windows 10 on 2 laptops Windows 7 and 8.1 respectively.
The Windows 7 laptop has been reinstated with the recovery option - No problems.
The other machine I am keeping 10 for a few more days , but I am very disappointed with the screen resolution.
The memory at rest is utilising 2.4 Gb.

Mines on 1920x1080 as expected. Sounds like the proper drivers aren't installed.

What sort of setup do you have, is it a laptop or desktop ?

Does what your using have onboard graphics or a seperate graphics card ?

I'm only guessing here as i don't know what your using, if you had a good resoloution before you installed Windows 10 then it's possible that your graphics card might not be working as it should due to driver issues and has reverted to your motherboards onboard graphics which are generally pretty poor.

Well now running 6GB of Ram now, a slight improvement but still pants. The laptop is a Windows 7 Samsung RV510 I upgraded to 8 then 8.1 now on 10 think the stalling browser is graphics related.Truth be known will maybe try a reset if that fails then back to Windows 7.

The windows 10 Upgrade is easy and simple doesnt lose anything takes about 30 minutes and is a better system for most computers. Its less demanding on processors so will actually be better on older machines in that way.

One thing is if you run Office 365 and use outlook you need to run a cmd prompt afterwards which is sfc/scannow which sorts out a potential error which stops email sending. I know this through 2 days of trying to sort email issues before i was told this by a microsoft advisor

I also noticed of my laptop the touch pad is basic, its lost the scroll, pinch zoom functions etc. Again will give it a other few weeks.

I have one of the first T350 64 bit processor, I wonder if the 32 bit version would have worked better ? as I downloaded the 64 version of 10 pro.

So what the pro's and cons so far then? Is it worth me upgrading? I just want straight forward windows setup. Not this app style system and windows running side by side.

If you use the Media Creation Tool you can write the installer to USB or DVD as well as create an ISO.

I didn't think that you could do a clean install just yet as i was under the impression that Windows 10 was just an upgrade version which relies on part of the Windows 7 platform being underneath, if you formatted the hard drive you'd lose your previous OS which i thought Windows 10 relies on to do the install. I could be wrong tho.

You have to upgrade your current installation to sync your license key, before you can do a clean installation.

Yea you could do, that's what I did, I imaged Win7 to another drive. If you mean clone 7 to make it a dual boot with 10, I'm not sure about that. Although its not really necessary as you can downgrade back to 7 after upgrading to 10 without any issue.

The clean install process is quite a bit different as well, its all set in the OS, then you reboot and it does its thing. Or you can boot from DVD/USB. When you clean install you can either keep your apps and settings (pretty pointless) or install without apps and settings. From what I understand its more a removal of said apps n settings rather than a completely fresh install that we are used to from the past.

About once every two days I get a driver_corrupted_expool error message but have no idea which driver it is linked to!

I tried to update my ATI radeon HD 4500 driver but apparently there is no new one available......

Any ideas?

I think that error relates to RAM, so check it first.

On thing ive noticed is my Logitech keyboard occasionally doesn't respond to key strokes, you can be typing away but the cursor doesn't move and nothing has been typed, it didn't do it on Windows 7 .A re-boot cures that.

Other than that it seems to be spot on.
