Good things: dead easy to set up once I had shut up the annoying doxy blathering. Had it running in about two hours. If memory serves, the Samsung took about two days. Very quick when switched on. Takes a matter of seconds before you get a screen capable of doing something. Old one took two minutes or more. Similarly on shut down; seconds as opposed to minutes and lots of things to click. Also allows me to chose when I want updates done rather than just taking over and shutting me out for two hours or more.
OK Tharg, welcome to the world of Solid State Hard drives. Fast as lightening and no defragging ever. Automatic trim software Keeps everything sweet. As for the choosing when to allow windows to update is a tick box exercise. In order to make life easier with win 10 let me suggest you visit then book mark Win 10 Forums.
Bad things: Microsoft/Windows control-freak circuits seem unaddressed. I had to agree to let Windows access, inspect and even delete my Gmail. If I didn’t agree it would not finish setting up and letting me use it. Have now stopped it doing that and am wondering what nasties it’ll chuck at me for doing so. I do not want the Cloud storage thingey. Some of my documents will probably contain contain bank stuff and passwords and I do not trust it. So dug through many screens of settings until I find “unlink this machine”. I did this. Following day, cloud is back again. Windows does not tell you that unlink means for just a limited period. Back to screens again until get to another thing, name escapes me, which takes the whole Cloud access away. This seems to work.
Bad things: Microsoft/Windows control-freak circuits seem unaddressed. OK Tharg, depending on which version of windows you have, things have moved on a pace. Many of these issues have been fixed. I am on win 10 pro version 2004. OS Build 19041.572. There is a new version but I will wait a while before installing that. Do you know what win version you have? Again let me suggest a youTube channel I follow [/quote]that is very helpful with all things WINDOWS 10 Britec09
