With Win10, that's a step up from Win 8 at least!

Win 7 --> Win 10 upgrade really broke the missus's and mine laptops. Mine was pretty old, hers about two years. In both cases it didn't have the alcatec network drivers, nor were they available for download. No real warning about the upgrade - shut it down at night, broken OS in the mroning. In the end it was a case of flatten the machine and re-install total PITA. I managed to opt mine out out of Windows 10. Didn't bother with herself's laptop as the re-installation happened after the free upgrade deadline. Weirdly, it upgraded itself again (once more without warning) but the networking seems to be OK this time.
Don't know how MS has gotten away with this stunt at all. Seriously considering becoming a Linux-only household.

I've tried installing it 5 times.
Each time it's taken over an hour, then rolled everything back when (I assume) it's near then end.
No explanation, no support link, nothing.
So if I can't get this update, how do I get future ones?
Thanks Microsoft...

So 5 times I've tried to install this 'upgrade'.
5 times it's taken over an hour, then failed and rolled everything back.
No explanation, no support link, just 'We couldn't do it'.
Thanks Microsoft. If you can't deploy updates to my machine, where does that leave me?

My God, Holmes!
You've found the cure to everyone's problem!
GUYS! ONLY INSTALL WINDOWS UPDATES DURING THUNDERSTORMS AND WITH NO UPS!
We'll have to make sure that ms documents the process -- including that you have to pull the plug manually if there isn't an actual power outage.

Ah! So AE was the proverbial thorn in my side a couple weeks ago...
Was traveling on my way back from three weeks in Australia and needed to pay a bill when I got back (stupid T-Mobile and their payment site isn't usable on mobile...) Only needed my laptop for 5 minutes, and the stupid thing sits there updating for over an hour... Had to shut the thing and board my next flight, hoping it completed before the battery ran out (which it did, thankfully...)
What really annoyed me was that there was no warning that the update would take longer than usual. When I selected 'Shut down and apply updates' it installed a few things for a few minutes and switched off, with no warning that on next boot my laptop would be completely unusable for over an hour...
That is bad User Experience...
And yes, that persistent Notifications icon can go elephant itself, as well as the person who thought it was a good idea...
|
|
|
|

Your comment about the notifications icon made me look, and it seems one can turn it off:
rt-click taskbar > settings > turn system icons on/off > Action Centre
Don't know if the setting will stick...
|
|
|
|
|
But does it reappear when there are notifications?  (or possibly  Win 10 does seem to encourage one or the other...)

Can't be Nagys - the priority order is wrong.

Priority is not set by order, but by size.

Can't be Nagys. Too many redundant words.

No, no. The order is correct. It's like in any competition the results are read out 3rd to 1st!

C - roman numeral for 100
Beers = ales
100 beers = cales
holds fermented soy beans = "holds" miso = miso in cales = camisoles = a type of negligee

Which movie?

As always: Not a movie at all.
My words after my computer had been 'updated' to Win10.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
