Windows 10 update returns it to defaults!

Thankfully the laptop has been working fine since. It was rather worrying this morning to find all my files and settings apparently gone. I do back up periodically to an external hard drive, but it would have been a major pain to get my account back to where it was.

I've tried Ubuntu a couple of times and really wanted to like Linux, but so often it involves typing in commands and I could not even get my printer set up so reverted to Windows.

When windows update downloads and installs well... an update the previous update that it updated often remains.


You can clear those that are unnecessary with disk cleanup - the extra 'clean-up system files option' - I believe it still remains in windows 10. Potentially frees up a lot of space. Also - when upgrading from windows 8 to windows 10 a copy of 8 might be saved. This took up 9GB on my boys tablet.

I was thinking the same until i had to install some drivers manually then thought what nutter wants to do this?

I was tempted to convert the oldies computer to Mint. Gone off that idea now.

Its getting there but not close enough.
