Topic: Windows 10

Have you got an E drive?

I'm having trouble finding Computer Management.  The right click This Computer > Manage function doesn't seem to be working.   

[Den]

Right click on the start icon and computer management is half way up. E drive is a usb slot for a removable drive. 

[Simon]

Right clicking the Start button does nothing.  Right clicking This PC in the Start Menu shows the Manage option, but clicking this produces an error, which I can't copy and paste because Paint seems to have disappeared as well!   

[Simon]

Right, I've managed to enable Paint, though goodness knows why they decided to hide it.   

This is the error I get when trying to use This PC > Manage...

I think drive E is the usb port on my Canon iP6700D Printer and there is not a updated driver for Windows 10 on the Canon site.

I'm glad I only use 10 on my non-essential laptop.  That said, with the privacy settings tamed, it probably doesn't send any more data to Microsoft than any other Windows version.

I'm using Windows 10 on my main desktop for work and I must admit as much as I liked W8.1 Windows 10 is so smooth and very fast, so much so I am struggling to find something that I don't like.

Biggest load of crap Ive ever had the misfortune to download!!  PC constantly freezes and nothing works. The new browser within only works when it feels like it and refuses to play any videos from links in facebook or you tube. Not ready for release is my opinion. Tried to revert back to Windows 7 only to get a message "Sorry unable to do that as files have been removed from your pc". What right have Microsoft got to remove files from my machine?

 I have now ordered an OEM copy of Windows 7 to enable me to get back to an operating system that works.

You would be better downloading Windows 10 on to a usb stick and do a clean install. I'm running it on three machines with no real problems at all.

[Simon]

Upgrades from Windows 7 seem to be more problematic than from Windows 8.1.  I upgraded from 8.1, and after a period of settling in, it seems to be running fine now.  Can't say I prefer it to 8.1, as there's not really that much difference.

I wonder which one would be corrupted?

Thought I would try again, and this time did a complete new install. Seems to be working better, but no way can I get videos to work in Edge when I click on a link in Facebook or You Tube. Anyone here have success with this?
