Windows 10 is here

I hadn't heard that one myself.

Like I said above, I've got 10 on 3 laptops and it's been a pretty positive experience for me. But, to be honest, I don't do much on my laptops. They're "browse the internet while crapping", "display recipes while cooking", and "stream football games not good enough to be on the main display" machines more than anything

 

Start - cmd
ipconfig /all

Look for default gateway and/or dhcp server. These are going to be your router IP. If you don't see x.x.x.x, then you don't have an ipv4 IP.

 

Features no one cares about but me..

Cmd maximized is actually full screen.. Not some weird full height window that is the same width as the non-maximized window.

Ctrl c/v/x all also work in cmd now. Previously you had to right click to paste.

 

nVidia GPU?

 

Hmm, I'll have to see if they work in powershell tomorrow

 

I didn't check powershell yet. I noticed it today when I opened cmd to run adb commands for my Android tablet.

 

nVidia has Win 10 drivers. My GTX 970 works great with Win 10.

If he's using an integrated graphics processor that could be his entire issue.

 

And if he's not even sure what GPU he has (nothing personal here, Chris!), then he's prolly got a integrated crappy GPU chip, like one of the old intel G series shitballs

(I know about the Win 10 nVidia drivers, my GTX960 flies...but the older, smaller chipsets are still having some driver issues with them, which is why I was asking)

 

Okay router wasn't at 192.168.1.1 after all. Was close though.

I can confirm that the router recognizes my HP printer though. It's got a reserved slot on the router.

Back to the driver issue perhaps?

 

Uhm...does that mean 'only ones running right now', or does that mean 'ones that could be running if I got off my butt tonight', or is that ' what could I build out of parts i have in the house right now'?

Let's just say...it is more computers.

 

This is exactly what I was thinking. Integration always means slower. LOL Who knows how much RAM he's got in his system though.

 

My guess would be 'not enough'

 

Okay, so after trying to use HP's software to setup the printer again it failed to find the printer once again.

So... I used HP's setup software to provide a specific IP address for network install. Then I reserved that IP in my router so the printer will always appear in the same place. Now it works.

BTW - My Router appears to support IPv6 as there are tabs for IPv6 options.

 

Interesting.

Tells me there's a firewall type issue....something is blocking either broadcast traffic, or http/smb browsing by the driver suite. Maybe?
