Nice. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to mount a shower setup on the truck.

 

I am trying to download it now. Is there a start bar again or is it still the stupid ass app screen thing.

 

There's s start button. Windows 10 is not a quick upgrade and you may feel like it's frozen, but it's not. It may be something you let run overnight.

 

YES!

Make sure you do a clean install.

 

Mine only took about an hour from clean install.

Edit: For the install that it.

 

yikes, guess i'll have to find my external HD and copy everything over. is there an option for a clean install through the update or will i have to manually do it?

 

Windows 10 is way better than 8. I couldn't even figure out to install a program on it. I didn't like the "apps" thing. Start button is a lot better.

 

I had to manually do it.

10 is sorta like a mix between 8 and 7. You have a start button, but it's also has apps in the start up menu.

Home screen:



Start button:

 

Yeah, I just have mine go to the desktop... by never shutting it off since it takes 3 years to start up ever since it was new. And I downloaded a start menu bar. Or else I would've gone office space on it a long time ago.

 

Cool, well its a start. Punn not intended.

Hopefully windows media player will be on there!

 

I'm old, computer illiterate, fucking hate change. Windows 10 works ok.

 

while i'm on a roll here...
fuck this corporate fucking world we live in and the paperwork involved in it.

So I am a business owner. Big deal, so are a lot of people.
If I apply for a job, bid a job, solicit work, etc, I am subject to the policies of the other party. That's Understood.
However, If another party calls me, they are under MY policy. Right? Whatever, I'm right.
You call me to unfuck your fuckup, you pay my invoice on the terms outlined.

So this has happened before, but venting now, I am called in to repair, they need it right now. I show up after a 90 minute drive, fix the issue, don't sell a thing but labor, customer is happy.
I send an invoice and I'm greeted with an invitation to APPLY for PRE-QUALIFICATION to work at the facility, basically applying for the privilege to fix their shit, and get paid within 90 days ...fuck you.
Rant over.

 

So I've been organizing shit so I can back it up... the windows 10 update downloaded into a little button on the desktop, it almost automatically did it because I was not paying attention.

I opened it up and get an option to restart now or restart later... any easy way to wipe this clean before doing that?

"windows 10 upgrade assistant" is what its called. so im sure it downloaded the update to somewhere

 

FYI Windows 10 does not have windows media center. Not sure about windows media player cause I never use that program.

 

So you'll actually have to upgrade to 10, save a file of 10 os on a usb, THEN wipe. Reinstall 10 from the usb.

 

any idea where it would put said file? only thing i see is the 5mb assistant

and not sure if i have a large enough Usb depending on how big the file is... maybe i'll just let it do whatever it wants

 

I didn't back up or have to save anything. I just let it do it's thing and it was all there when it was done. Maybe I got lucky.

 

Yeah, it was a good time to organize the photos mainly. every time I got a new phone I'd just dump the pictures on the computer and start over.... what a mess. Its getting there, but sorting through them is quickly wearing down my GAF....

 

You might be okay just going straight over, but it MASSIVELY slowed my computer. I used one like this, just not sure which one exactly.

Looks like something I'll fuck up and have to buy a new computer. I think I'll try the easy route first.
