Then you didn't do it right 
You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think.
The Theory of Gravity was invented for the sole purpose of distracting you from investigating the scientific fact that the Earth sucks.

Once I missed them on purpose, in order to go to vacation alone.

I know I speak for all of us at CP when I say,
It looks like a horrid vacation. Just horrid.
I watched the video and have numerous questions:
1. Where are the computers?
2. Where are the tellies?
3. All that fruit...Where is the bacon?
Did you have to pay to go to this prison island or are you being sent there for some heinous crime? 
Have fun, I'm stuck in my Nowhere Land, making all my Nowhere Plans with Nobody.

But it's not clothing optional? WTE? Can't fully relax that way.

Well - we've been to their sister resort, Couples Tower Isle - and they promote themselves on the clothing-optional Island they own (w/bar, food brought for meals, etc.).
Actually - as I heard it from reliable sources - it was clothing optional until they heard I had made reservations. Not enough Gange on the entire island of Jamaica to 'cover that up'.

Had to look this up. I see it is a private nightclub, with more than one location. Nice.

You're living in the wrong time zone - all those Swiss watches and you still have trouble with that.

So, I installed Windows 10 yesterday on the personal system of SWMBO. After she had been using it for a while I asked her, "so what do you think of Windows 10?". She replied with, "Oh, I don't know whether I want it on here, I'll let you try it out first". I'd call that a big success from Microsoft.

I see some serious problems here:
1. If she came from & and didn't realized the changes
2. If she camo from 8.x and didn't realized the changes/improvements
In any case you bothered yourself for no reason - she could have stay with XP all the same...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

She came from 8.1 and didn't notice the change. Which, to be honest, is quite subtle.
|
|

I've hardly seen any changes at all. But then I've only been on 10 since about 12h00.

How do the Win10 upgrades present themselves? I have the Get Windows 10 icon, but I don't know whether the Windows Upgrade arrives via the Icon or Windows update.
|

You need to install the "Upgrade for Windows xx" system. Where xx is the version of your system. Install them all from Important updates section.
Then you will see Upgrade to Windows 10.

I just realized that all this 'kibi', 'mebi', 'gibi' thing is more than 15 years old!!!
What is fascinating me is that IEC missed one tiny (but important) aspect of the subject...
'kilobyte', 'megabyte' and 'gigabyte' are measure units that has no meaning whatsoever(!) outside the word of computer industry/storage capacity...And inside that context it is! consistence (it is not consistence if we separate kilo/mega/giga from byte and put there something like gramm)...
So IEC decided to 'clear the air' with some dust ...
(I like to see that there are people out there that have the time for it - more like to see that this b*s didn't got into any stream...)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

No, I'd agree with the IEC - it does make sense.
"Kilo", "Mega", "Giga", and so forth are prefixes with a specific meaning - which was established back in 1799 (during the French revolution!  ) which was and is "times 1000", "times 1,000,000"...
When we as an industry started using the terms in the 1950s (or so, I can't find an exact date for it) we abused the terms by using them for binary "times 100 0000 0000b", and so forth. The IEC was trying to correct that as the terms and usage became more common and more confusing in normal usage.
If nothing else, it hopefully stops disk manufacturers confusing the issue by selling disks and quoting the "times 1,000,000,000" size on the adverts and the os reporting a much, much smaller number of available bytes!

'kilo' and it's friends are not words (I think morpheme is the right term for that) by their own right, but only in context with the 'what'...So there is nothing to correct as nothing was wrong...
As for OS reporting less than you should expect - it is not that manufacturer didn't give you the exact size promised, it's only that the OS took its share ...

As I said - they are prefixes.
