Crap...
I don't even remember my graphic card.
Is there a way to see it without unscrewing my PC?
Upgrade to Windows 10?

Try downloading CPU-Z's CPU-ID or SpeedFan, I think they will report your motherboard model and your graphics card. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

My pc effortlessly upgraded in about 30 minutes, however. Everything seems to be taking longer to load up now, and it takes about 2 minutes to boot from power on. Think it's time to buy a SSD.
Windows 7 alt+tab and Windows 10 alt+tab is the same :-/
Go to desktop in both of them is Win+D

I don't think you've been able to alt+tab to desktop since XP. 7 cycles through windows. It's been Windows+D since Vista, and clickong on the bottom-right corner of the screen since 7.

Is anyone else having problems with cortana, says not available yet in my country or language yet I'm in the UK.
Desktop hasn't been an Alt+Tab selection for quite a while. As far as keyboard commands go, Win+D is intuitive enough for the Windows Desktop.
It's in W7, I guess they removed it in 8.

Does anyone else show CPU usage at 100% at all times? I'm running an i5 2500k OC'd to 4.5ghz and that's been stable for years under Windows 7. The task manager always shows the CPU usage at maximum no matter what. The tasks that are running jump around so there's no one task eating up the CPU. The percentages change constantly.
It doesn't seem to affect performance at all. My games run perfect as does everything else so far so I don't know if its misreporting or what's up.

Only if you have 2 or more applications opened. With just 1 it won't show you the desktop.

this happens to me when using edge browser - especially with multiple tabs open.

I literally have nothing open.
I'm just sitting in the task manager and then the task manager itself will bump up to 85% usage and then drop back down to nothing (literally everything is at 0%). The Nvidia Backend will bump up to 60% alongside and then drop off, etc The usage never drops from 100%.
The thing that's throwing me is that its not effecting the performance of the computer at all. I can literally start launching applications left and right with no lag or performance issues. I can launch a game and it runs without issue.
*confused*
I only have Chrome open and it shows me the desktop in alt+tab.

Is Microsoft Edge better than Chrome?

Try Process Explorer instead of Task Manager.

Still no W10 here (UK). Keeps saying it's going to notify me. Yeah.

I had the whole thing downloaded then decided to do step 2 as nothing was happening. But now it's stuck, going to give it one more chance otherwise I won't be bothered.
I got fed up of waiting and just downloaded it manually.
Lol it's not only me who doesn't like that! There's people who don't like desktop appearing in alt-tab though =/
On one upgraded machine it was laggy and had keyboard lag on search. Or sometimes didn't open, unresponsive. Fresh install fixes all these things.
Ah right cool! I'll have to download it then, I guess I'll have to do it manually, as windows 10 update just says for me to wait for my PC to be compatible.

It's one button, compared to a potentially very large number of button presses to alt+tab to desktop. Win+D is much faster. There's lots of Win keyboard combinations that are very useful and everyone should know about. Once you learn about Win+S, you start to wonder why people keep making such a big deal about the start menu.

Same here. How long does this rollout go? I'm gonna be the last one to get it lol.
Sometimes you are used to Alt Tab, and when you only have 1 thing open it still worked, bad habit I guess.
Trust me I know a lot of win key combos. I work for MS...
Edge is lacking a lot of features at the moment (even many that were present in Internet Explorer). For now it is a no contest for Chrome (at least for my usage), which is very rich in features although the memory footprint of Chrome is quite high for a web browser.

It appears to be something with Asrock mobo's...

I have the P67 so it looks like it's bios update time.
I think once It gets the add-on support, I have no reason to use Chrome. Edge is pretty damn good so far.
I have been using Alt+tab to cycle through to desktop on Win 7/8 for over a decade, and now I have to use win+d =/.
Geezus, this is like getting used to Win 8 metro crap all over again.
Hmm check Edge memory usage, I found 200-300mb per tab, chrome 80-120mb per tab.
You are correct. I didn't actually look at Edge's memory footprint, was just talking about features.
Any idea why it is so high? The browser is pretty stripped down.

100% CPU usage isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just means your computer is actually doing something useful with all its excess resources when nothing else is going on, probably maintenance or Cortana or something. I'm 95% sure it won't hurt your computer.
I recall them showing full cpu usage in a previous release of windows and they had to dumb the task manager down because people were freaking out even though it was perfectly fine.

Love it so far, but the first real issue is Win10's refusal to send audio through my speakers. It registers in my mixer, just nothing out of the speakers themselves. Anyone else feeling this?
It is a bad exercise to make people feel comfortable with 100% CPU usage. While there are times when it is expected, more often than not it is an issue.

yup, and CPU usage is super high as well.
looks / feels pretty good, but just not as snappy as chrome in the end [so far?].

Memory usage of Chrome is so high by design because of its emphasis on security and multiple processes. Although it might get incrementally better over time, you're never going to see a drastic reduction in memory usage from Chrome. But this is the price you pay for real security and a rock-hard sandbox. Memory in computers is dirt cheap now. People paying $700 for a video card, you can get 32GB RAM for $150-$200

Arcade stick support seems to be broken for almost every game I've tried except for Skullgirls on my PS3 Hori RAP3, so be careful if you're upgrading and like STGs or fighting games.

It's a bios issue specifically with the Asrock motherboard I'm using as I posted. After doing some reading it's being heavily reported. I'm downloading the latest Bios file right now.
CPU usage shouldn't just at 100% when idle. The OS may be misreporting but I'd prefer to fix it.

Does choosing the fresh instalp option delete every hardrive? Or just the one with windows on it?
Oh cool thanks.

Brilliant. I will try it out as well. Thanks.

This is faster than cycling with alt+tab. Don't see why this is a bad thing.
Just the one with Windows but it doesn't even delete everything. I kept a bunch of folders including Windows.old.
