I worry that Office 2010 will not be brought over. I chated with Microsoft Office and they said I would not have Office 2010 if I upgraded to Windows 10.
Don't think I want to chance it.

I could not do the upgrade on either of my computers, kept failing till I selected just my personal files when asked what to keep during the installs.
I had to reinstall all my apps on both computers and reinstalled Office 2007 Enterprise edition and installed fine and everything works as it did in Windows 7.

Please be aware that Office Starter 2010 is not supported. You will be prompted to remove it before the upgrade starts.
No, desktop Office 2016/Office 365 or no prior version will not be free. The Microsoft Office Team developed a special touch optimized version of Microsoft Office for Tablets running Windows 10. This will be a free limited functionality version gear towards basic editing in Tablet mode. It lacks many of the capabilities of desktop Office. You can download it from the store."

Has anyone had any problems with wifi after installing windows 10.
Any suggestions on remedies.
Thanks.
No problems here. You may want to go to control panel,system and on left side click device manager.Find Network Adapters and click on side arror.Right click on the Wifi Adapter and click update driver.
Hi Charles and T923347 , Well i Tried Updating , Uninstalling / Installing Drivers. Diagnosing to no avail, Seems like i cant connect to my router(netgear r7000) or limited connection. I even checked my wifi card inside my laptop and its fine. I dont have any problems connecting to my smartphone or xbox one via wifi, just from my laptop(windows 10). Its odd but i am noticing on youtube that there are similar issues with wifi.
Hi Chewbacca and Charles45
Thanks for the product support page for Netgear but i

Many posts ago, someone asked here how to do a clean install. I realize that poster probably worked it out by now (or gave up), but for anyone else looking for the instructions, they're found here: http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-quietly-rewrites-its-...
Scroll two-thirds of the way down the above webpage **below** the "Step 3" heading, where it says:
"For those who are anxious to do a clean install, here's the trick:
Don't do the online upgrade.
Instead, from your current, activated copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, download the Windows 10 ISO file..." [click the link above for the rest of the instructions].
That article leads off with detailed info about how activation works in Win10 (*very* different from previous versions), useful if you're having a Win10 activation issue.
Hi Chewbacca,
The Wireless Adapter i am using for my Windows 10 Laptop is
Intel(R) Wifi Link 5100 AGN and i downloaded and Rollbackthe Drivers a few times but no luck.
I think i am going to contact Netgear and see what they say.
Also have Netgear WNDR4500 and it worked after the Windows 10 upgrade with both my Vista PC and Windows 7 Netbook.
I did not have to do anything. Windows 10 set it up.
Here's why I care and it seems a lot of others do also who are in the day-to-day business of PC and Network management.
Your opinions about Windows 10 are noted.
It wasn't what you had to say, but how you said it. Had you only said it once, maybe twice, I wouldn't be here wanting to reach through the screen and throttle your neck. Instead, you repeatedly interrupted a decent discussion by regurgitating the same thing over and over again. It's like listening to a kid being wheeled through a grocery store, all the while screaming "I want that" at the top of his lungs when Mommy wouldn't buy him the toy he wanted.
Your career may have bearing when it comes to your clientèle, but no one on this thread that I know of is part of your clientèle. It certainly does not give you carte blanche to come onto this site and disrupt it. Like it or not, that's exactly what you did with your annoying, disrespectful, and trollish posts.
With that, I'm out of this thread. You've polluted it to the point I can't even read it.

Have you experienced either of the following? If not, do you have a suggestion for me to cure the issues?
1) I like to keep my browsers covering only about 80% of my display when I open the browser. I find that the new Edge browser ignores my past settings and always opens maxed out to use the entire display. Chrome has no problem remembering the display size and position. It seems odd that Edge doesn't remember, espcially since it may be that this is not an Edge issue but rather is a Win 10 issue for remembering programs' window size settings.
2) Even with an active internet connection, I find that Cortana occasionally says I need to try again later because I can't connect right now.

Windows 10 seems to be a good system. The learning curve to set it up so it does what you want it to is not hard. If you want it to share it will, if you don't want it to share it won't. Can't ask for anything more.
I have an old D-Link but no need for it since I boutht the new one, although there are newer ones on the market that do more and I am looking at them. We streem movies and the Netgear WNDR4500 works great with SD but on HD we have momentarly black screens a little during the playback of HD. It may be our internet as it is 10 speed but goes up and down at times. I don't know if the new routers would do any better.

I don't use Edge as my default browser but I have not found the problem you are having. Every time I open Edge the display window and it's position are exactly where they were when I last shut Edge down.
Many apps will remember their window position if you hold the shift key while clicking the X to close them. The next time you open it, they will remember the previous position and size.

There are reasonable concerns about Microsoft policy changes regarding privacy with Win10. Reasonable people can disagree reasonably about some of this stuff. Ken has generally been reasonable about expressing his concerns. The mouse wheel is very good at helping one move on past a poster who is not, as I now expect to be demonstrating on POI Factory. Feel free to roll past my posts as well if they bother you to the point of fantasizing about virtual violence.

I'm in the same boat as CraigW. It never remembers and always opens maximized. Btw, what if you resize Edge (smaller or larger than its current window size), close it and then re-launch it. Does it remember its last size and position?

Exactly the same/revised size. The only difference is that it does not appear in exactly the same place on the desktop.

The first thing I tried when the upgrade finished was cleaning off the Start screen. (BTW: I later went back to 8.1 which was a completely painless experience.) Anyway, maybe it's me, but the "multi-select" feature for the tiles was gone. i.e.: previously you could touch and select a whole bunch of them and then perform the desired operation: (delete, re-size etc.) I have to believe this was a oversight and will be corrected in a release down the road. If someone out there does see this working with W10, please let us know.

In the brief time I explored Windows 10 before reverting back to 8.1, I did notice that Firefox was having a hard time making the "adjustment" to Windows 10. This was mainly manifested in exactly what is mentioned here with Edge: Roll-of-the-Dice when it came to opening a new Firefox window: sometimes the same size, sometimes smaller or larger. I assumed it would go away once a new version came along. Just going by the number of new versions of Firefox released since July 30th, I bet the issue has been corrected.

You probably should have stayed with Win 10 and Firefox a little longer. Firefox updated a couple of days ago (now at 40.0.2) and although I don't recall having your issues with it, it certainly doesn't have those problems currently.

I noticed all the updates coming through for Firefox too, and figured they were responses to Windows 10 issues. I only went back for a couple of reasons that really had no particular dis-satisfaction reason with Windows 10. The first was a desire to test the Microsoft-provided 30-day "roll-back" feature; it worked flawlessly: the laptop was restored like nothing happened, including several Tiles I created with custom Icons. The second reason was a desire to make a permanent switch after the anticipate SP1 release. I didn't expect it to come so soon and I'm glad I hesitated and didn't download it: the issues with SP1 have been well documented. My current plan is to pick a blizzard-bound weekend this winter to make the jump. In six months we should be seeing "SP6" and it will be time!

According to Microsoft there will be no more SP releases just weekly tweaks, fixes and some added features but no more major redo like they did in the past with the SP1 and so on releases.
The weekly large releases are cumulative and not only include new things but everything that has already been included in all the prior releases. If you do a search with the release number it takes you to the releases info and states that right there and then lists every thing that is included in the release.
This is the latest one Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081438).
If you do a Google search for :KB3081438" you will see what I mean.
Link to the Microsoft page for the KB3081438 update info:
After reading about some of the issues as far as compatibility, I think I will stick with Windows 7.
I still use Office 2003 and I need nothing better than that. I do not want to get stuck upgrading to Office (Latest & Greatest), just because Microsoft wants to force me to do that.
All my other programs may not be the latest, but I don't need the latest. The only thing that I upgrade to the latest, are my Garmin maps, and that's only done when I go on a trip.

I had a tuner in my desktop that I used to record from the unscrambled HD feed from Comcast using media center but when Comcast scrambled the HD local channels I no longer had any need because the area I am in I cannot get OTA signal.
There is other software apps other than media center that will still allow you to use the tuner if you have a useable signal still available.

No success. And none with the earlier suggestion to close Edge while pressing the shift key.
What's odd is that my primary Win 10 desktop always opens Edge full screen regardless of my trying to change it, but on a backup PC, I can get the PC to remember the size of my desired Edge but not the location. On the backup PC, Edge now opens to my desired size but it appears midscreen rather than slightly off to one side as I wish.
Chewbacca has confirmed that (in this case only ) I'm not crazy. There must be some setting or configuration causing differences between our PCs. If anyone ever finds a solution, I'd love to know it. Google didn't help me just now with two searches to see if others are reporting the Edge size/location issue although different search terms might have worked.
It would be more understandable (and much more aggravating) if this window issue appeared for all programs/apps but it doesn't. As far as I can tell, it's only a problem with Edge.
I got my update from Windows 8.1 completed last night. It took four times running the media creation tool to make it through. Had a problem with the Intel display driver, igdkmd64.sys. When I changed to the Microsoft basic display adapter it worked.
So far I'm happy, but I haven't tried everything yet.

A good suggestion but no success. I don't have an Edge icon on my desktop. I can either start Edge from the taskbar or from the start menu and neither offers a right-click 'properties.'
I did add Edge to my desktop and saw that its properties were set to Normal Windows. Starting from the desktop, Edge continues to open maximized rather than with the settings I prefer.

Perplexing.
I still use IE for most web browsing but have used Edge and Chrome browsers occasionally with windows 10 64 bit and all three open as they were the last time I used them.
On another subject all my old apps still work in Windows 10 and the surprising thing is that I didn't have to install the patches or fixes that I had to use with Vista and Windows 7 to make them work correctly.

What wireless adapter are
What wireless adapter are you using on the Windows 10 PC? Is firmware update available for the adapter? Is there an updated driver for it?
How to clean install upgrade Win10
Many posts ago, someone asked here how to do a clean install. I realize that poster probably worked it out by now (or gave up), but for anyone else looking for the instructions, they're found here:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-quietly-rewrites-its-...
Scroll two-thirds of the way down the above webpage **below** the "Step 3" heading, where it says:
"For those who are anxious to do a clean install, here's the trick:
Don't do the online upgrade.
Instead, from your current, activated copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, download the Windows 10 ISO file..." [click the link above for the rest of the instructions].
That article leads off with detailed info about how activation works in Win10 (*very* different from previous versions), useful if you're having a Win10 activation issue.

Good Riddance
Here's why I care and it seems a lot of others do also who are in the day-to-day business of PC and Network management.
Your opinions about Windows 10 are noted.
It wasn't what you had to say, but how you said it. Had you only said it once, maybe twice, I wouldn't be here wanting to reach through the screen and throttle your neck. Instead, you repeatedly interrupted a decent discussion by regurgitating the same thing over and over again. It's like listening to a kid being wheeled through a grocery store, all the while screaming "I want that" at the top of his lungs when Mommy wouldn't buy him the toy he wanted.
Your career may have bearing when it comes to your clientèle, but no one on this thread that I know of is part of your clientèle. It certainly does not give you carte blanche to come onto this site and disrupt it. Like it or not, that's exactly what you did with your annoying, disrespectful, and trollish posts.
With that, I'm out of this thread. You've polluted it to the point I can't even read it.

A couple observations/questions
Have you experienced either of the following? If not, do you have a suggestion for me to cure the issues?
1) I like to keep my browsers covering only about 80% of my display when I open the browser. I find that the new Edge browser ignores my past settings and always opens maxed out to use the entire display. Chrome has no problem remembering the display size and position. It seems odd that Edge doesn't remember, espcially since it may be that this is not an Edge issue but rather is a Win 10 issue for remembering programs' window size settings.
2) Even with an active internet connection, I find that Cortana occasionally says I need to try again later because I can't connect right now.
Nice Windows 10

Windows 10 seems to be a good system. The learning curve to set it up so it does what you want it to is not hard. If you want it to share it will, if you don't want it to share it won't. Can't ask for anything more.
I have an old D-Link but no need for it since I boutht the new one, although there are newer ones on the market that do more and I am looking at them. We streem movies and the Netgear WNDR4500 works great with SD but on HD we have momentarly black screens a little during the playback of HD. It may be our internet as it is 10 speed but goes up and down at times. I don't know if the new routers would do any better.

I don't use Edge as my default browser but I have not found the problem you are having. Every time I open Edge the display window and it's position are exactly where they were when I last shut Edge down.

Browser position
Many apps will remember their window position if you hold the shift key while clicking the X to close them. The next time you open it, they will remember the previous position and size.
Give that a try.

There are reasonable concerns about Microsoft policy changes regarding privacy with Win10. Reasonable people can disagree reasonably about some of this stuff. Ken has generally been reasonable about expressing his concerns. The mouse wheel is very good at helping one move on past a poster who is not, as I now expect to be demonstrating on POI Factory. Feel free to roll past my posts as well if they bother you to the point of fantasizing about virtual violence.

My Windows 10 always opens Edge to the same format in which it was closed. It functions exactly as previous versions of Windows and IE.

I'm in the same boat as CraigW. It never remembers and always opens maximized. Btw, what if you resize Edge (smaller or larger than its current window size), close it and then re-launch it. Does it remember its last size and position?
Yup.

Exactly the same/revised size. The only difference is that it does not appear in exactly the same place on the desktop.

Windows 10: Things that need fixing
The first thing I tried when the upgrade finished was cleaning off the Start screen. (BTW: I later went back to 8.1 which was a completely painless experience.) Anyway, maybe it's me, but the "multi-select" feature for the tiles was gone. i.e.: previously you could touch and select a whole bunch of them and then perform the desired operation: (delete, re-size etc.) I have to believe this was a oversight and will be corrected in a release down the road. If someone out there does see this working with W10, please let us know.

In the brief time I explored Windows 10 before reverting back to 8.1, I did notice that Firefox was having a hard time making the "adjustment" to Windows 10. This was mainly manifested in exactly what is mentioned here with Edge: Roll-of-the-Dice when it came to opening a new Firefox window: sometimes the same size, sometimes smaller or larger. I assumed it would go away once a new version came along. Just going by the number of new versions of Firefox released since July 30th, I bet the issue has been corrected.

You probably should have stayed with Win 10 and Firefox a little longer. Firefox updated a couple of days ago (now at 40.0.2) and although I don't recall having your issues with it, it certainly doesn't have those problems currently.

I noticed all the updates coming through for Firefox too, and figured they were responses to Windows 10 issues. I only went back for a couple of reasons that really had no particular dis-satisfaction reason with Windows 10. The first was a desire to test the Microsoft-provided 30-day "roll-back" feature; it worked flawlessly: the laptop was restored like nothing happened, including several Tiles I created with custom Icons. The second reason was a desire to make a permanent switch after the anticipate SP1 release. I didn't expect it to come so soon and I'm glad I hesitated and didn't download it: the issues with SP1 have been well documented. My current plan is to pick a blizzard-bound weekend this winter to make the jump. In six months we should be seeing "SP6" and it will be time!

According to Microsoft there will be no more SP releases just weekly tweaks, fixes and some added features but no more major redo like they did in the past with the SP1 and so on releases.
The weekly large releases are cumulative and not only include new things but everything that has already been included in all the prior releases. If you do a search with the release number it takes you to the releases info and states that right there and then lists every thing that is included in the release.
This is the latest one Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081438).
If you do a Google search for :KB3081438" you will see what I mean.

I'm Sticking With Windows 7
After reading about some of the issues as far as compatibility, I think I will stick with Windows 7.
I still use Office 2003 and I need nothing better than that. I do not want to get stuck upgrading to Office (Latest & Greatest), just because Microsoft wants to force me to do that.
All my other programs may not be the latest, but I don't need the latest. The only thing that I upgrade to the latest, are my Garmin maps, and that's only done when I go on a trip.

I had a tuner in my desktop that I used to record from the unscrambled HD feed from Comcast using media center but when Comcast scrambled the HD local channels I no longer had any need because the area I am in I cannot get OTA signal.
There is other software apps other than media center that will still allow you to use the tuner if you have a useable signal still available.

No success. And none with the earlier suggestion to close Edge while pressing the shift key.
What's odd is that my primary Win 10 desktop always opens Edge full screen regardless of my trying to change it, but on a backup PC, I can get the PC to remember the size of my desired Edge but not the location. On the backup PC, Edge now opens to my desired size but it appears midscreen rather than slightly off to one side as I wish.
Chewbacca has confirmed that (in this case only
) I'm not crazy. There must be some setting or configuration causing differences between our PCs. If anyone ever finds a solution, I'd love to know it. Google didn't help me just now with two searches to see if others are reporting the Edge size/location issue although different search terms might have worked.
It would be more understandable (and much more aggravating) if this window issue appeared for all programs/apps but it doesn't. As far as I can tell, it's only a problem with Edge.
Update Completed
I got my update from Windows 8.1 completed last night. It took four times running the media creation tool to make it through. Had a problem with the Intel display driver, igdkmd64.sys. When I changed to the Microsoft basic display adapter it worked.
So far I'm happy, but I haven't tried everything yet.

A good suggestion but no success. I don't have an Edge icon on my desktop. I can either start Edge from the taskbar or from the start menu and neither offers a right-click 'properties.'

On another subject all my old apps still work in Windows 10 and the surprising thing is that I didn't have to install the patches or fixes that I had to use with Vista and Windows 7 to make them work correctly.
