Oh for sure, if 3 examples are fine then I guess it always works 100% and mine didn't freeze loading files and my friends didn't also fail and he wasn't advised by Microsoft to reinstall his old OS recover the key and enter that into a clean install because the upgrade failed to activate itself.

I've upgraded 2 laptops and my desktop, the only issue i had was a missing touchpad driver. I've been quite surprised by how well it's been working. However, this forceful upgrade path is starting to be a joke.

I have friends and family who aren't tech savvy and they are confused when this pops up and don't know if it it's a virus or legit, secondly if they did upgrade and had problems they'd be blocked from doing work on it with no support other than me, and it's not always viable for me to visit them.. Then there's the people who I work with that are tech savvy but they have such a complicated Windows environment setup using legacy tools for workflow purposes who simply can't afford the risk.
 
This thread made me chuckle about the windows 10 fiasco did we pay for it? NO we didn't and this is Microsofts way of getting Guinea pigs for free :yelrotflmao:
 
The amount of broken laptops I've had in because non techie people have upgraded and broken things is getting ridiculous. Its entirely random too, I've had all sorts of devices, from surface pros which have been pretty much bricked to basic £320 laptops with ethernet/wifi related BSODs. Part of me thinks alot of it is down to driver conflicts and bloatware. It just doesn't add up why only certain individual PCs have issues.

thanks for the extra work Microsoft.

After upgrading my laptop to Windows 10 it disabled the touchpad. I had to use a mouse to navigate to device manager and re-enable it there.

The average consumer doesn't know what device manager is and will think their laptop is broken. It's far from convenient.

Still debating if I should go to 10 on the desktop. Honestly quite like 8.1 Pro with the iobit start button.

The way i look at it is if Windows 8.1 is working the way "YOU" want it to work i really can't see a point in upgrading.

You can go back to your previous install using system restore. Whether that perfectly restores it as it was, I'm not sure.

Because it's still on topic with recent news events.

I'd argue that ranting about bricked PCs and the opposite as counter-arguments is not on topic, since the discussion has been a stalemate for 1½ pages. Having to shuffle through 2+ pages of ranting is hardly in the spirit of quick news. Or am I just being ADD? :D

I feel like they've got bigger issues to sort before messing about with useless crap.

hehe that really did make me lol :)

But you're right. In two years time when the good one has beaten the crap one and it settles down and there are more than two games for it I might look again.

I think either way I am not being screwed over with PC hardware again so I think I will get the PS4 VR. At least that way the games will actually work and there will be more of them.

Unless they've updated it since, I've heard that the PS4 VR should have a really crappy headband comfort-wise. :/

While true( like the launcher not always working in W10 first try) it's still in development and won't come out for a while. I'm sure they are working on other stuff too.
