I don't normally use explorer unless I have to. Windows 10 did pin an icon for "Edge" on my task bar, I promptly removed it. To play a DVD I had to right click on the DVD drive and select either Windows DVD player or Gateways Clear.fi media player.

Browsing the web isn't any faster. Neither is the time it takes to start up or restart my laptop. I can only imagine how long it's going to take on my desktop.

I have signed up for Windows 10, but haven't been given the opportunity to install it yet. I'll be watching this thread. I hate new stuff, and it seems I barely get used to one thing and they want me to learn something new. RATS!

I requested the 'free' Windows 10, but I have not gotten the okay that it is ready to download. I find what others have to say very interesting. I'm looking forward to having it so I hope it will be worth the wait. I'll be watching for more comments.

I have installed Windows 10 and it was easy. I had 7, so it looks a lot like that.

So far I really love it. Once in a while the screen will freeze up for a minute or two, but otherwise, I have had no problems at all. I love the "ask me anything" tab

Right now with my line of work, I have to wait to see if it's compatible with our MLS board. So I'm waiting. Have heard to many problems with it so far.

I didn't install because they had a notice that you might be charged for time. When I asked about it in comments they didn't bother to answer.

I heard the tech expert to wait until they got the bugs fixed from the program. I am still running XP and loving it.

I run Windows on my Mac, as it has dual processors via Boot Camp. My 2008 model Mac is too old to run Windows 8, so to run Windows 10 would mean a new computer.
