Windows 10

<p>Yeah only definitive error I've seen listed is from a WIn7 upgrader - he said it got stuck somewhere but once he changed Locale to USA it was all good in his case.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If it goes smoothly with my near-new Win 8.1 notebook I'll consider updating the little netbook I bought 3 years ago as well. It runs 64-bit Win 7 and its clunky. If that's good, the wife's machine is next.</p> -

<p>I find it extraordinarily hard to believe the last bit! :)</p>

<p>Boxing weight divisions are fucked in developed countries as people have got bigger. If you fine down a little bit you can fight as a light heavyweight - I'm a super middleweight (with a large burger and fries I'll be light heavyweight), but with a reach advantage and, according to Tim, allowed a zimmer-frame to whack you with and then an "Uh, uh, uh...you can't hit old people..." :)</p> -
<p>Standard windows with no colour on them shits me - hard to tell quickly which one has focus, which is especially troublesome in a multi-screen environment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I went and found a fix.</p>

<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>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> -
<p>Just had to uninstall and reinstall sound drivers. MS telling me I already had the latest. Ahh, no...</p>

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? -
<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> -

It's the Lenovo [s]Surface Pro[/s] Ideapad Miix 700.</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>

<p>I'm just using Windows Defender </p>
