Win 10 Resurrected!

Back in May the upgrade to my wife's old Medion, from 7 to 10, wasn't entirely successful and after a couple of weeks I reverted it to 7 but before doing so I imaged it for some reason. Yesterday, with the free upgrade well behind us, I thought I'd see whether this image had any use or not so I restored it (while she was out ). First surprise was that it showed as activated so I went ahead and updated it to 1607 latest version. No sign of the previous problems, or complaints from the boss. Quite a surprise though, and anyone else with a 10 image but currently running 7 or 8/8.1 could presumably do the same. Nothing to lose.

 

@Earthling
Are you using 1607 build 14393.105 ?

I'm still using 1511 build 10586.545
I'm reluctant to install the anniversary update because of stories of problems.
Just wondering if the recent patches have fixed all of that, or if it's better to wait.
The following comment also leaves me wondering.

 

Yes, on four systems now the wife's has been upgraded. I saw satrow's comment too but we aren't seeing any issues at all here. The more we use 10 the more we love it - and bye bye struggling to get 7 to update every month . But if you want certainty then take a 1511 image

 

I'm running 1607, 14393.105 on two Dell laptops without issue. I like the fact that Windows Defender now sits in the System Tray the way MSSE used to. I also like that Windows to Go has been added to Control Panel (at least in 10 Pro). That used to be only available in Win 8.1 and 10 Enterprise.

 

Notebooks are very likely to be close to the default Windows configuration, given that the majority are single drive (see para.#1 of the original post quoted in #2 above for context).

 

My Inspiron 15-5555 WAS tested by Dell with Win 10 but, my Latitude E6400 wasn't. They're both running the Anniversary update and the Latitude is faster no matter which version of Windows I'm running.

I'm not missing the point of your reply, just stating personal experience. My Precision M70s supposedly can't run Win 10 because the nVidia Graphics driver hasn't been updated by nVidia in years. But, I found a Win 7 driver for them and they ran 10240 fine. I haven't tried them with the Anniversary Update because both have hardware issues now that I can no longer correct because of tremors and visual impairment.

 

Yes, as suggested in the quoted post, AU has already proved problematic with hardware drivers, though the basic VGA drivers may be enough for some users (clean install) and rolling back the drivers to the pre update versions might work on an update install (though any future update/upgrade might break that too).

EDIT: I see the 6400 has dual graphics, they've always been problematic when upgrading from the original OS.

 

I have found so many issues and problems with windows 10.

This Operating system is point less to say the lest out of all the Microsoft operating systems.

I am sorry but it's even worse then windows ME i would rather have ME than this junk.

It has so many issues running simple stuff.Like GPU drivers.
