Strange I had no trouble my laptop and desktop have Windows 10 and are working almost flawlessly. Just curious, did most people who reverted back had genuine windows or upgraded from pirated? Also did you do a clean install?

Windows 10 is working flawlessly for me on my Desktop and Surface Pro 1, only SP1 seems to have the sleep bug I.e. while on sleep it stays awake draining the battery to nil. I think a clean install will cure that.

As we have talked back a while i were following you up to reset my pc. And actually did it right just as same as you instructed me to do but clean always give you thoughts whether you will be able to activate it later or not. So did you actually did clean install windows 10. Today i got a call back support from Microsoft and they told me they already have been alerted of some serious driver issues which still in process of making it right via windows updates. So it means they are doing hard to make it right. Well hope for the best

Today i did a whole clean reinstall for the first time and i have to put product key during installation thanks to Allah it worked and activated automatically then again i was seeing audio driver issue when you connect earphones . Anyhow simply i went to device manager and under audio,video and game controller, i highlighted the realtek high definition audio and right click on it and then choose update it and then choose manual and then choose let me pick it and simple click on browse after that i chose high definition audio device and click next and installed it. Its the same generic drivers but i have to not play around windows updates settings this time and no more annoying update pops up now. All solved

Overall, the Windows is amazing. However, there's this one small issues that bugs me the most; the start menu stops responding. I Googled the problem and I'm not the only one, it's still a nuisance since I had to install it multiple times. Strangely enough, the same Windows is working fine on my laptop as well as my mother's laptop.

Upgraded to win 10 home genuine on day 1 then clean installed it, battery life was horrible 1 hour less of what I was getting in windows 7.

Used it for few days battery did not get better, so I went ahead and installed win 10 enterprise and activated it via kms and after few days battery is perfect again.

So Pirate copy > Legit copy :D

Windows 10 simply feels like a re-skinned version of Windows 8. No noticeable performance changes have I noticed. *yoda*

Gone are the days when XP and Vista/7 completely overhauled the OS experience.

Yes the OS hasn't changed that much but it's much better than win 8 which was horrible.

I noticed this issue comes when Windows install an update. I have reinstalled the Windows and chose the option to notify me when the update is downloaded. I'll update you on the progress soon.

Wanted to add.
I have a legit upgrade to win 10
the most awful problem i faced was about the incomplete audio drivers for the Creative XiFi Xtreme
had to install custom drivers to get it running.
Where did you get the XFi drivers? I'm also having some problems running an SB0770 on Win 10. On Win 8.1, it automatically downloaded the drivers. I just had to install the X-Fi control panel.

Probably the best bet for now are customised daniel K drivers.
Remember to shutdown the pc and then starting it again after installing these drivers and creating a restore point before installing these drivers to counter any unforeseen instabilities.

it's for everyone who wants to do it:

1. Just type administrative tools in search.

2. Open computer management.

3. Open computer and services

4. Open services

5. Find windows update in that list

6. right click it and hit properties

7. from the drop down menu of startup type hit disabled

8. then you will see some buttons below the drop down menu, one of them will be "Stop" press it and hit apply

9. Enjoy.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
