Yet to test Dragon Naturally Speaking with the new set-up.

Works as well after the upgrade as it did before.

seems like the intel driver site is crashing under the load of people wanting drivers

The upgrade went very smoothly until 91% when it stalled for 90 minutes with no clue as to whether anything was happening.
Once it had completed most was ok. I'd upgraded NVIDIA drivers which perhaps avoided one problem.
Cortana does not work for me. It tells me that my company won't allow it which as it is a home edition is a bit surprising but looking at Google I'm not alone.

No problems. Made it XP -like as with 8.1. Also made settings more private and disabled Cortana. With loads of Tabs the tiles are redundant.
My other laptop has W7, will leave it as is.


p.s. Having trouble with Groove Music, thought to delete the site/music as bloatware, it deleted the music from the computer.
Recovered from the bin but scary.

with me its ok but with cortana . You would think if you set a reminder it would sync with cortana on the phone but no luck may be it needs windows 10 on each . Apart from that works ok .

Here is a reason for upgrading to Win10 within the next 11.9 months. It will be supported for 5 years longer than Win7 (2 years longer than 8)

Works great on my desktop, but the laptop seems to have a few issues.
There are dramatic pauses all the time where the mouse just stops moving and the settings randomly stops working. I think that I shall get everything back in place and try a clean install when I have the time see if that sorts it.

I am really enjoying the upgrade, changed a few things, but more than happy so far.

Cortana is not working for me, I have seen a way to make it work but no got round to it yet.

The only issue I have is screen related, I think. On using any browser the tab section is white, it's like a white stripe running across the top, it's the same on all browsers.

I also think the task bar is to big, but it may just be me, some of the things I open cannot be fully seen without going full screen, I think it will be a case of trial and error.

Other than that, great so far.

System

The only problem I've had is on an HP G7 Microserver (originally running Win7). For some unknown reason the NIC (Broadcom Netxtreme Gigabit adapter) always shows cable unplugged.

Tried latest drivers, re-install drivers etc but no joy. That one will now stay as Win 7

The other 5 laptops and desktops were fine.

Just ditched it, emails won't send from Outlook, don't have time to faff around looking for a fix.
