Just had an email from Amazon:
Save up to £38% off Lenovo Stick PC (Black)
OK...so unless the original price was £100...  
It wasn't

I got one that said 'save $-56% yesterday only!' from them once. They sent out a correction about three minutes later with an apology for the confusing discount. Testing in production was blamed.

So I updowngraded my Windows 7 laptop to Win 10. It was basically point & click. Very simple.
So about half hour after it finished, while just sitting there, I then got this[^].
There's nothing wrong with my laptop.
Wonder if it's too late to roll back.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Well, it's what it says:

Did you try chkdsk on those volumes?

So I assume you already used "chkdsk" and performed "sfc /scannow"? I heard from many people they had a issues because of broken system files. And did you check SMART info?

That doesn't look like a Windows 10 message - the window chrome is all wrong. It looks more like a Vista / 7 message.

...that you were aware of, until now.
Have you given any thought to the possibility that maybe Windows 10 does a better job of diagnosing your system than Windows 7 ever did, and that your hard drive actually is about to fail?

I saw this message one time on my wife's laptop. Turns out she had a virus that was interfering with the SMART interface.

I have also taken the plunge and upgraded to Win10 from a Win8.1 Pro system. It upgraded without any problems. The problems started when I wanted to tailor it. It has to be activated before you can do that. Unfortunately, mine wouldn't activate. After a lot of phaffing around and talking to Microsoft, it appears that my Win8.1 system wasn't activated either. It was a later update on a Win8.0 Pro system that was installed on a new machine I had had built. I had no idea that the MS product code was invalid. Cost me the price of a new Win10 Home system, which is now installed and running well.

I never had that kind of issue but after playing with it for awhile I re-imaged my system back to the locked-down Windows 7 I had set up "just in case". I keep 10 confined to a VM for testing now but I think I'm on 7 for the duration as far as my main equipment goes. It was "OK" but a bunch of little things kept going wrong and I didn't feel like working around them. The upgrade doesn't offer anything I consider important and I don't care for the GUI. Besides, it's becoming more and more adware.

how do you know what's in the updgrade? I will settle for better security and a better chance of having bugs resolved by being upto date.

One thing I was impressed with and the thing that I was fearful about that was preventing me from upgrading is that I would have to re-install all my old software and create backup of all files. I didn't have to and all my things that was installed still worked. Couple of things I'm pissed about though. One being the security is not what it use to be. My old admin user can't open eclipse that is installed in program files. I managed to eliminate the problem my giving him special permission but I get an error in the folder AVG is installed and have to click through every file in AVG as its permission can't be changed. Where the hell is the 'ok to all' button???

anybody else use ms vs c++ express 2010 anymore or am I the only guy left?
on window 10 64 bit post SP1 and after this update i start getting
MSVCR100.dll is missing ...
Sooooo nobody else is losing confidence that ms knows how to do windows update anymore?
Yeah, I know, shoulda stayed on 7.
Upon SP1, microsoft leaves around a monster sized windows.old
In windows/SysWOW64 is apparently where that dll is supposed to live.
When I put it back, my cpp .exes written with ms vs cpp express 2010 work again.
But looks like I'm gonna have to reinstall visual studio.
I hope a LOT of games use that and those gamers get extremely angry.
So nobody else, eh?

I'm pretty sure I've opened VS 2010 some time in the past 6 months, but I'm not going to bet on it.
The debugger in VS is simply unrivalled in my opinion and has been at times, an invaluable tool.
Back when significant portions of the IDE were no longer written in C/C++ (VS2k8 perhaps) was when I saw the writing on the wall and understood that VS was becoming something of a second-class citizen, created by second-class minds, or those ordered to do so by those no better intellectually endowed.
So nope, not using it - not having any problems. Comparing ViewMax with Windows 3.0 many moons ago reminded me that most popular is just that - it's not necessarily any better. In many cases, in fact - there seems to be an inverse correlation.
Off topic - I read your bio the other day. I felt truly humbled and incredibly lucky to have been put on to it by another CP user. Thanks!

I've just spent an evening with MacOS and it's apps trying to get stuff done. Things are crashing left right and centre, or locking up, or just not working.
The entire industry seems in a bit of a trough at the moment. Android is fractured and beyond insecure, Microsoft still has some sharp nails and wet paint on it's new toys, Mac / iOS is in a simply depressing decline in quality and user experience, and Blackberry are...gone.
How's Ubuntu these days? Anyone?
cheers
