Upgrading to Windows 10

Koenig168 · Aug 6, 2015

An interesting article for those who think Windows 10 is free. Take it with a pinch of salt though. I've read a number of Gordon Kelly's articles and he is no Microsoft fan.

That's a big mountain to climb. Apple has got the whole iTunes and iPhones ecosystem down pat.

The Windows ecosystem is no where near Apple.

I find it quite stable. To be safe, I do have my data backed up to an external drive and Win 8.1 Pro installed on a different disk.

Probably a bug.

Anyone like me, cannot right click on the windows that are opened on the taskbar?

Eg: I have a few progs running... it will show on the taskbar right? Normally if I want to close any of them I just right click and choose close.

Now right click nothing happen.

If the program is running, there will be a white border below. Right click - close works for me.

You can use Alt-Tab (hold) to show running programs and close from there.

Cumulative Update 5 Aug

There is a cumulative update dated 5 Aug which included all patches from 29/7 to 5/8. It's about 318 MB. The patch worked fine for me but others have reported it as unstable.

If you are on Win 10 Pro, you have the option to defer the update.

I think Windows 10 Home also can choose to 'defer updates' now with the patch.

I'm having error for my updates, any pro please advise.

I click update and it went to prepare 100% for update and it auto-restart but Com will not boot, after manual reboot. This error came up

"WindowsUpdate_C1900101 OR WindowsUpdate_dt000"

Can you confirm? That will be quite a big change for Microsoft as it removes one of the key differences between Home and Pro.
