I'm at the pointing of washing my hands of Windows OS and Office. I'm probably just going to use Ubuntu or Mint full time now.

I gave up on Windows 10, my touch screen and fliplock wont work with it at all and I can't find the drivers in Asus's website so I said forget it and I'll go back to Windows 8.

Yep, I went to Ubuntu LTS on both laptops. Got tired of worrying about viruses and such and so much junk that windows can accumulate. Having said that. Linux is tough to learn. And I had a chance to learn unix back in 88 but didnt do it.

Don't want to hijack a thread - but thought y'all may know.

Do you know ho to:
1. Run a legacy website that has vbscript on edge in windows 10, or
2. Downgrade back to ie10?

Many thanks!

Shawdaddy,
IIRC, Internet Explorer should still be included as well for exactly that reason. Microsoft Edge is just the default.

Direct media install finally worked. MP3 playback however does not work.

No device should have a single browser regardless. I typically install 3 on day one even if I never use one of them.

Anyone have any experience so far installing old programs (photoshop cs3, office, matlab, etc). All are old versions that are in most cases patched.

been using the dev build since may. This seriously may be the last Windows I ever need. I love it. This is for my PC however. Have yet to try it on my Surface Pro So I can't say anything about the touchscreen stuff.

Installing on my 3 pcs currently. Just finished on the laptop, first impression I like the look a lot more than 8.1.

I got the "black screen of death" last night and it restored back to 8.1. I am going to give it another go tonight but if it doesn't work this time I am going to wait a bit for all the kinks to be worked out.

Installed on my Omen 15 and really liking it so far. Waiting for the prompt to pop up on my other laptop and desktop.

Does it make anyone wonder why this is free. Maybe it has something in it that we dont know about and they're giving it away for that reason.

I think they're trying to push past Windows 8 in people's mind. They could also be adapting Apple's approach to OSX releases (free for people that have newer versions, smaller updates that aren't as far apart).

If anyone is brave enough to try and install it in Bootcamp let me know. I'd give it a go, but don't have the time to try and problem solve it.

Installed and all my old cracked software still works

If I put my computer to sleep, shut down, or restart it reverses the two finger scrolling gesture direction.

Mildly annoying.

Guess it's time to hunt for a driver.

I just got windows 10 installed after it failing last night. The first 10 mins with it have been great. Windows 8 took about 4 days before I really started seeing its benefits. Windows 10 it is pretty much instant gratification.

Now going to try my luck with other computers.

Wow, it has made a huge difference on a couple of my games with the graphics and FPS. I have an older laptop so this is quite a nice upgrade.
