It seems to me MS is just rolling out a new system quicker and quicker not giving a s*** about what most PC users care about. I like my smart phone and my tablet the cheep games and apps are great, however, when I have to do work (that requires more power than a phone/tablet) I go to my PC it is more powerful and has a better interface for working on the web in word and excel documents unfortunately they are slowly trying to turn my PC into a phone.

That makes Windows look much better, I can not stand the theme in W8 & W10 drives me mad! I will have to try it once I get a VM up and running.

I don't have any plans on doing this "Free" upgrade I just have no intrest. Now if I could get an install disk and do a clean install that might interest me. I have had very limited success with doing upgrades.

Just got that on the work computer today. Gunna have to remove that soon lol I think my boss would flip if he came in and found his computer upgraded to W10.

thank you Jacaz!

I have been out of the loop for quite some time regarding Windows 8 and greater so my info might be a bit off. I read somewhere that Microsoft is "giving windows 10 free for one year" Now if they are publishing updates that will eventually allow W7, W8, & W8.1 to automatically upgrade to W10 what happens when that year is over? Do you have to buy a licence then? The thought scares me, because at least in the article I read MS never specified what happens after that year so is that their way of selling the new OS. Note: This could just be a crazy theory based on the extremely limited info I have on the subject. -richie614a

Is HWiNFO a piece of third party software or is it something I can check that is built into windows?

There attempt at over simplification is sad. It makes it harder for those of us who have been been using Windows for years to find what we need to get to. ex: Control Panel you now have to play with the metro control panel as well as the classic to accomplish some basic tasks.

I love this program. It makes working on my work computer bearable. I have even had a few of using my account, because it has a functioning start menu!

It is definitely not the best software I have ever used, but it helps a bit in my case. I work on peoples PCs and they usually have a lack of anti-virus software, expired trials, or stolen protection(that just has bed written all over it). I install it after I clean up their computer then I give them a list of free/paid programs to consider.

I have a Windows 7 computer power supply 700w AMD 7870 graphics card 16 gigs of ram 4 core processor amd My computer randomly crashed after a game I play Planet side 2 crashed,. When the game crashed I just figured it was just the reoccuring server issue they've been trying to fix that week. I then went on to facebook then my computer just bit the dust. Everything turned off instantly after that only the tower turns on I can tell by the lights. I tested my monitor on a laptop and that worked fine, and all my other devices (mouse, keyboard, wifi flash card) work just fine too on the laptop but once plugged into my desktops tower, will cease working. I've reset the cmos, even took out my new graphics card (mentioned above) and still nothoing displays or works other than the tower. Thanks for anyhelp. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section.

I thought Windows just took C no matter what partition you boot off? I currently boot W7, W8, and Server 08 when they boot they all take C. It might be different for older systems.

I am looking for a way to make my system audio lag about 3 seconds. I am using Chrome cast to stream on demand video from my cable provider that runs on MS silverlight which is not currently supported by chrome cast. I cast my whole screen which allows video to play, however chrome cast dose not support audio in this mode. So i am looking for a way to make my system audio in windows 7 lag. any ideas?

don't mind W8 with start is back unfortunately I can not find updated video drivers so games ect don't run so I still use W7 for most of that.

Solved reset the roughter disabled the wireless and dhcp then reset the modem it worked fine after that

I have two network. At my house one is a standard in home network wireless modem and. Few network devices attached to it. The other is my test network it a domain controller, dns, dhcp on it well i want to get internet access on my test network, but im not sure how to set it up

they need to add search to the store looking through every sub category is driving me nuts.

it reminds me of XP's default start menu :-)

Are you able to boot of your CD and usb media?

I like what I have seen so far. I have not logged much time on Windows 8 since the retail version came out. Start is back fills in the missing gap in W8! I am pleased with my purchase and look forward to future releases.

@ geneticplasma try camtasia studio 8 it's a 30 day trial. it is easy to use

I will use is start menu or no start menu, because it is my job! personally I think removing the start menu was a bad idea (they could have at least waited until metro was introduced instead killing it on the spot, but it happened). I work for a small home pc repair company we have received call to upgrade systems and give training for the new os. So because of W8 I have work this makes me happy.

it is a nice program I look forward to the release. The price more than is fair. -helpdesk98

I am setting up a small network for a small company at the moment they have one computer with an internet connection. the isp provided them with a static ip address. in the xomming weeks i will be getting the laptops and a wireless roughter in. my questiin is when i set up the wireless roughter do i set its address to the static ip Address provided by the isp?

I don't like touch screen. My whole life I was told not to touch the screen (it became even more true with the newer flat screen monitors) now I want no part of it lol.
