    <p>Also once you've upgraded, make sure Windows Update runs and <em>then</em> get onto your device providers and make sure all their shit is up to date.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>For some reason the Intel graphics drivers didn't come through on Windows Update so I had to go get them from Intel website directly after a couple of BSODs</p>

    Exactly what I ran into with Intel graphics update. Looks like the Windows update dudes aren't talking to anyone

    Other way around. The beta has been out for a significant period of time, more than long enough for vendors to get their drivers in order.

    Intel's GPU drivers are notoriously shit.

    But the drivers do exist - I got them from Intel direct using their driver update software. So if Windows update isn't listing them, who is to blame?

    Microsoft needs the drivers for several weeks so they certify them before releasing them on Windows Update.

    <p>The 15.33.x release from Intel was listed as first week July - latest (15.40.x) is first week August, if I'm reading my backwards American dates correctly</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Neither was available.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>So makes sense I guess if they're working on ~4 week turnaround.</p>

    <p>Jeez that's pretty skinny. Still has actual ports on it though.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I saw someone's Macbook Pro 12 the other day - its tiny, but then you have to carry around a dongle to do anything with it besides drink ethical mocha frappachino shots in the wankiest cafe you can find while looking at neckbeard websites on it through your glassless glasses.</p>

    <p>I took the plunge, seems to be good aside from the fact it seems to restart the laptop randomly (assume it is W10 given it didnt do it before) plus the fan sounds like it is working overtime now and again too (again, didnt do it before) </p>

    I discovered I had to change from avast antivirus because it doesn't play nice with Windows 10. Have gone back to AVG

    Have heard a few people don't bother with AV software any more. But I don't trust my kids or wife to block shit correctly.

    how so NTA? We use Avast business free and I have it running on our Group manager's Surface 3 which is running Windows 10. He isn't one to mention anything though.

    Yeah still a necessity. Best to use in conjunction with a good malware scanner like Malwarebytes. <br><br>
    Yep quickscan only checks the most common areas. Personally I've found avast the best AV going around. The business free edition is particularly impressive, a great option for small to medium sized businesses with bugger al IT budget.

    Wife's PC was a Win7 upgrade to 10. One day after logging in, she just got a black screen and while Taskmgr was still available, nothing else was. <br><br>
    Multiple restarts, safe mode etc but to no avail. Change to AVG, problem solved. Have read a few little things about it having issues, and while I've been a big fan of avast I can't go on like that.<br><br>
    My notebook was having a few random little app / device crashes so I did that too. No issues after one week so far.
