windows 10 slow

Windows 10 is much faster at almost everything even over 8.1

Those who tell you to clean your system are correct. Clean out everything including Temp files all Cache files etc. Clean your disc.

This really should have been done before the Win10 install.

You can revert back to 8.1 within one month of getting win10 if you really need to.

To make sure that I got a smooth install I called the win10 help desk chat and a very very smart guy and I went through the process together. You might want to try that.

The luddites who are clinging to win 7 like a broken life raft on a storm tossed sea will eventually have to upgrade. Everything will be written for Win10 from here on in.

I don't know if I agree with you or not. I work on windows 10/8.1/7/Vista/XP computers 5 days out of the week and been doing it for quite some time now. Most of my co-workers and I agree. Windows 8.1 and 10 are some of the worst operating systems since windows vista. The general consensus is, "at least it's not worse then vista" which isn't saying much.

Windows 8.1 and 10 were an attempt to try and merge mobile operating systems and pc operating systems into a nice, and pleasing interface that you could use on both with minimal reprogramming. On face value, it seems to work pretty well. As you get a little deeper into the OS though you start seeing some major flaws and really weird behavior for a windows OS.

That's because in the attempt to merge the 2 OS's (mobile and pc). They had to design the operating system to react in ways similar if not on par with the way a mobile OS works. This causes some really strange behavior with PC's that can in some cases, down right lock them up. By far the worst comes in compatibility with programs.

Things that work perfectly fine on other versions of Windows will sometimes lockup, fail to perform well or downright crash. McAfee being a perfect example of this during early day adoption of windows 10, (the only reason I offer it as an example, is because I deal with it on nearly every PC). We have consistent issues even now getting the darn thing to even run, especially when it comes to updating. This pretty much comes down to how the architecture is actually built; which I've mentioned before, to mimic a mobile OS.

To be honest, a lot of developers, programmers and techs haven't been to terribly impressed with either 8.1 or 10 and I don't see "everyone developing for it" either. Especially since windows 10 is getting more and more bad press with there trying to force people onto it. I have a feeling most if they can/know what they're doing. Will just stay with Windows 7, at least for the foreseeable future. (I mean have you SEEN the download for getting rid of the windows 10 upgrade prompt? It's one of the largest downloaded objects we've seen in a long time, it rivals Minecraft for gods sake lol)
