I installed windows 10 since it was forced onto my computer by MS. It was an "upgrade" from windows 8.1, but I'd rather have windows 8.1, or 8, or anything OS that's not going to require me to reinstall the system, redownload all my programs, and spend time frequently trying to diagnose my computer's issues.
Automatic updates come at the worst possible time, usually when I'm out of the house.Yes, you could restore your system to the last working point, but if the updates are what's causing the problem (as was my case) you will need to download it eventually. Let's also keep in mind that sometimes, you can't even find the last working version.
The computer also has a habit of turning on after I've shut it down (and yes, it turns on even after hard shutdowns, and don't think you can fix this by restarting the system, I've tried that just before this review, and it doesn't work). The default setting of the power button, by the way, is to have your system sleep. You have to manually change the function of the power button from "sleep", to "shutdown".
I've tolerated W10 for the past 6 months, putting up with the auto updates and inability to shut down or turn off, but the fact that I've spent more time in the past two weeks trying to fix the computer than actually using it is inexcusable. If you're not one of the 200 mil devices using W10 right now, don't give in.
Oh, and Cortana is just a glorified web browser/file explorer, kinda disappointing, in case you were wondering.
Actually thinking of switching to Xubuntu completely.

Dumb winshill gtfo
if you actually have to spend time trying to fix shit in windows, you shouldnt be asking for advice on what distro of linux to use
and you are a fucking tool, make your own decisions instead of reposting a fucking garbage thread like this

Windows is not user friendly. Not saying Linux is retard proof but windows, considering the target users is crap

I'm sorry windows is bullcrap. It doesn't have Live ISO, can NOT rank update mirrors, update takes 4-5 hours, upgrade breaks and it doesn't work, even though people pay for it.
My perception of windows is that it is still alive in desktops because of
1. computer illiterate people that does not know any other OS than windows and any other browsers than Internet Explorer
2. Availability of pirated paid software.
Android will kill windows anyways because it's easier to use anyways. Microsoft is trying hard with the surfacebook pros but honestly it doesn't compete with tablets.
For gaming I'll lay down a hard to accept fact:
People that lost virginity use PS4 and move on with their life.

May be hard for a chronic winshill to believe but it's true.
And even if it was not compatible ootb I would have known that during the LIVE ISO
More tears please

Have you tried 8.1? It's a lesser bullshit version of 10.
