You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.

Pretty much forcing a mass opsys upgrade on the great unwashed. What could possibly go wrong?

I upgraded several machines without a hitch that I recall but even a simple to fix issue is going to be a show stopper for many who just expect to buy a device, turn it on, and use it.

Going on past experience of Which? recommendations I think I'll have a dozen Windows 10s, they must be good.

Which's business model ..


Offer a "free" publication with eye catching title subject (Eg WINDOWS 10 MAKES COMPUTERS EXPLODE)


Fill it full of adverts and paid product placement

I would expect subscribers to Which to have problems. I'm guessing, but, I think that the demographic of subscribers would indicate a higher percentage of difficulties could be encountered than in the mainstream.......;):D

My thoughts exactly. Also, less than half had upgraded to Win10 and only 12% of those reverted back, so hardly trumps the Brangelina divorce in its importance in the scheme of things....

A misdiagnosis there methinks, it has a serious virus that requires a lifetime on antivirals to keep it healthy but as for a Trump it is but a passing bout of ill wind.

And don't call me Shirley.

Every time I hear mention of Which? I think "God, are they still going?"

Has anyone born since about 1945 ever bought a copy?
