Windows News & Discussion / Re: Windows 7 upgrade to 8.1?
« Last post by Simon on Jan 16, 2020, 11:28:52 »Well, I've upgraded to Windows 10. Took 2½ hours to complete. It finally booted up to my usual Desktop, albeit with different fonts, and I even managed to reset it to my old Theme. I was up till 1:00 this morning tweaking, but I think I've got it as I want it now. I've checked all my programs and apart from Adobe Audition which seems to be having a bit of a hissy fit, everything seems to be working.

The one I received this morning is from domain name: storage.com IP-address: 103.207.38.154
It is of course a trap, and clicking on any of the embedded links would have unforeseen consequences.

« Last post by robinc on Jan 08, 2020, 07:21:37 »I bought an iPhone SE in 2018 and up till end of 2019 it was OK. Then came IOS13 
Lost service, calls dropped, couldn't connect etc etc etc
Lost of new features - whoot!
Battery life now hopeless and I just don't trust it any more. Gone back to my HTC 510 on ANdroid 4.x - because it works. Also using a Galaxy S4 with Lineage 16 ROM - Was Cyanomodgen. Again - it just works!
Apple - never ever ever again
Which has nothing to do with upgrading from 7 to 8.1 which I did look at but in the end I just set up a new drive on a good desktop machine with base W7 and then used the MS Media Creation tool to upgrade to 10. I use windows a twice a year if I really have to otherwise I'm all linux for many years now. Just accept that 10 is the way it's going and get on with it I'm afraid.
