I cant easily use my lexmark printer which I have now thrown away even tho it worked perfectly.
and it W10 upgrades without telling you
so things .... disappear
last week - a flag appeared on all windows products - please activate your product
and altho I couild access my windows accounts - my subscriptions are up to date altho in another thread you denied Bill Gates and his operatives were going to a subscription only service - I could not access the programs
so I rang windows and got very helpful Julius from Amerikee - I hope I didnt pay for this and - and he uninstalled using remote control windows ( using a non Bill Gates product which I thought - suspicious ) and then reinstalled Windows all of which took two hours or more
so it works now
and he said ah it may do the same in around seven days and give us another call !
and also
this is an issue we are seeing more and more of ....
[ I did wonder at why he didnt say - ' wodger done to it ven ? ' but seemed unsurprised at what had happened ]
so stick with W7 if I were you - I rue the day I pressed " instal W 10 "

hc does it feel that sometimes you are 'spitting' against the wind, it does for me. I am on the verge of just giving up when it comes to w10 questions. It really is almost groundhog day sometimes. I have been looking into cortana and am getting ready to take it seriously. Do w7 users still drive Rover 400s and champagne Supa Novas.
Some people just don't like change, Togo.
It's a no win situation. MS need to keep pace with progress and update its OS but if they change it 'under the bonnet' so it looks the same people complain because it's 'no different' especially if they have paid for the upgrade.
If it looks different, they complain because it's not the same.

OK .... First thanks for all the positive ideas and suggestions, I shall try them.
BUT... I came on line at 6.30 and fought my way to a couple of posts. I wasn't surprised when an update announced itself at 6.45 and the screen went blue with the circling thing. At 8.30 (still with a blank screen) I long-pressed the 'off' button. At 9.00 p.m. I re-started it and was met with an 83% uploaded message. By 9.30 it told me all was done. Hooray! Callou! Callay!
Then I got all sorts of things asking me to transfer data etc. EH? I took a deep breath, switched it off, restarted it and here I am. I am really on the point of saying 'goodbye' to technology, I really am. I would miss you folks , which is why I am trying now.
I suppose I'm saying that it is all getting beyond me. I am going to call into Curry's tomorrow and ask about re-installing Windows 7. :)
