Upgrade to Windows 10?

You can get that sound back under "Change system sounds." Either search for it in Start or open up the old Control Panel and navigate to it.
You can re-enable the Recycling Bin woosh sound there (I did too).

Has anyone else had issues with menu that comes up when you right click the start button not working?
The only things that work for me are search, run, shut down, and desktop.
Anything else I click on doesn't open. I can open them through various other ways that are available so it's not a big deal.

Keep an eye here on their website they have a list with dates on when thir soundcards will get oficial win10 drivers. So far The Z line is August.

Download the media creator, and just do the "upgrade now" option. You should be able to skip the key then.
same issue with nvidia here. but i sort of expected the video driver to be needing a reinstall so i uninstalled it completely and reinstalled. works perfect now.
Had a few minor issues with my laptop upgrade from windows 7 to 10, but all working well now. First issue was it would freeze at the desktop when it was still loading apps. It seemed to be the Razer Synapse taskbar app that was making it unstable, but having my mouse unplugged then updating the Razer software fixed that. I also had no sound, but after removing and reinstalling the sound driver it is working fine.
Happy with how it has been running the last few hours, and the desktop feels smooth and responsive. I have had previous experience with windows 8, and windows 10 is much better and feels like the best of windows 7 & 8 combined.

Mine is done. Had to reinstall my R9 290 drivers and I still have an unknown device in device manager.
I have had my friends PC activate after a day, MS activation servers are probably still under heavy load.

For anyone curious I rolled back to a Windows 8.1 image I took right before the upgrade and the steam in home streaming went right back to being smooth for me.

Can anyone chime in on how Bioshock Infinite, Souls games and pCars runs?
Does Steam backup include game content and my saves? I heard you could do a clean install straight away if your Microsoft account is linked to your Windows user when you did the upgrade?

Upgraded to Windows 10 with the tool. Performance was bad, lots of hangs. Decided to refresh/reset the Windows installation. Told it to fkn delete everything and start over. After the process is done, it boots into Windows 8.
Must've been that Lenovo recovery partition that somehow interfered. No matter. I was downloading the ISO on another PC already anyway. If you want something done right, do it yourself. That includes formatting.

So, in case anyone else runs into this, this is what I now believe happened:
- When first booted "for real", Win10 gets the Intel ethernet driver.
- The installation for that includes "TeeDriverx64.sys", the "Intel Managment Engine" (IME).
- This component failed to load during my subsequent Win10 boot attempts.
I managed to find this by looking through boot log files (from Windows 7). Some research indicated that the IME doesn't provide anything at all you'd need on a personal desktop anyway, so I just removed the .sys. Now Windows 10 boots without issues.
I'm not sure whether to blame MS or Intel. I think both, really. Intel shouldn't install broken components you don't even need, and MS shouldn't program the boot process in a way which allows one broken driver to hang it up entirely, forever.
I'm liking Windows 10 but boy is it a privacy nightmare and an nsa dream lol. Like everything is collected to the nth degree. Cortana can gtfo and stop "getting to know" me lol.
So ya make sure you check out the privacy settings because it is all default to opt in. Keep it all like it is if you want just letting people know how incredibly invasive it is.

The screen coverage on my monitor (Samsung 27") permanently shrunk after installing Windows 10. I adjusted the resolution and tried to adjust the V and H on my monitor but those are greyed out. Has anyone else experienced this? It was working fine with Windows 7...
Could be a driver thing. Double check the Aspect Ratio or if the Scaling is on.

Upgraded using the official tool last night. It froze on the first attempt and I had to force reboot, but worked like a charm the second. It's all looking good so far.
I'm liking the UI.

My newly-upgraded laptop just turned itself off abruptly and turned itself back on while I was browsing GAF. I take it that's something I should be worried about.

Driver crash? I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens frequently.
In running Disk Cleanup did you click on 'Clean up system files'?
I went into that additional option and I no longer have that windows 10 installation folder. Not sure if that's what deleted it though.

Something clearly went wrong with the upgrade process for me.. first everything worked fine, but by now, GTAV wont launch anymore, it doesnt go from Launcher to the game .exe, The Witcher 3 wont save, be it automatically or manually, I can click save but nothing happens....
Im going for that fresh install now, no chance of playing games like that.
Glad I'll only have to reinstall the programs running off my system-ssd

This Windows 10 sure does what it wants to do without asking, privacy, peer to peer, cant disable auto updates on an easy way...

doesnt it ask about all of that during setup? and you just said yes to everything without looking through it.
Posted with Google Chrome.
Is the audio through HDMI? If so that would be a graphics driver, not a realtek driver.
Also make sure the default audio device is the TV and not the audio jack.

Only privacy, it does not ask about peer to peer or updates during the setup.

After a bit of weirdness yesterday (NV drivers and mouse drivers being funny), everything seems to be working much better. I recommend not installing whilst running to an HDMI 2.0 monitor right now, use DVI or something that displays natively with no driver.
Some UI stuff needs getting used to (and I delelted my windows.old folder) but I am generally pretty happy so far.
Star Citizen's most CPU intensive parts run better now due to my actually having DX 11.2 (and that game uses it), so this is pretty great so far.
Just to try out other games and make sure all my necessary drivers are up to snuff.

I made the switch to Windows 10 as well but just so you know -and I remember promptly going back to W7 once I realized that last year- you won't get any debugging output anymore for dx9 in Visual Studio :

I like Windows 10 so far, nothing groundbreaking, a better theme than W8, no more of that awful purple/blue/red metro thing. Just passable.

This section managed to clear 30gb all up, or 25% of my C: drive, thanks for pointing that out. The $Windows.~BT folder does remain, though it is now much smaller.

Well in the peer to peer thread there is heaps of people saying that it does ask you.

This all sounds awful. I'm going to wait a good long while before upgrading, pretty much until it forces me to.

Bought BF : Hardline yesterday and took it for a spin today, the game freezes up every 12 minutes of play.
I heard these new Windows 10 Nvidia drivers borked SLI. I really think it's time for Nvidia to fucking step their shit up. They've been awful with game support for the past year from my experience.
Yeah they'll come up with game ready drivers for big profile releases 'but seems they don't even test their stuff.
Fucking hell, got even more reason to be salty being an SLI GTX 970 owner.

I'm glad I only tried it in a VM and on my backup PC. There are lots of random freezes for no reason and I'm also seeing quite a few vague error messages. Might roll back my backup PC and wait a few months. Windows Update went crazy yesterday and started popping up memory exceptions, tried a reboot and it took minutes for the start menu to open up again.
Edit: It is free for a year, so there is lots of time to upgrade in the future. It won't force you.
It's too late, they already know you are a furry and that you frequently search for big naturals. They are taking appropriate actions at this moment
You will never be forced to.

Well, at some point, especially if Windows 10 keeps being a service, updates for the previous versions will be stopped.
For Windows 7 long term support ends in 2020 and Windows 8.1 it's 2023, so I think people have time. There might even be some new OS at that point (sneak attack by Steam OS /s).

Upgrade went fine for me from Windows 7. Although I had to use Windows creation tool as update didn't appear in the task bar.
Also I don't like how white all the windows are in W10.
Everything so far is working correctly though. Edge seems faster than Chrome but it sometimes reloads tabs after you have a lot open. I thought this only happened on tablets?
Just had to make a few tweaks to colours and download updated nvidia drivers too but other than that it was straightforward.

They do, but if people don't want to transfer because of the policies and some of the features, then there still is a problem. Because I doubt these will change. Also also many people have some irrational hatred against Windows 8 so are sticking to the 2020.
FUCK, my greatest secret is now public knowledge, just like that
