Downloaded it this morning and am already having issues. First off, my Sound Blaster sound card doesn't seem to work even though the drivers are up to date - had to plug sound into factory headphone jack on front of Dell Precision T5500 to get sound. Second, all the sudden my drive(s) are noisy now. Started right when Windows 10 finally fired up. Might be unrelated, but coincidental timing.

I'm liking the new web browser so far, but don't like that the new mail program can't seem to import Windows Mail setup (at least not that I have found so far). Other thing that bothers me (primarily because I'm a graphics guy) is that the icons aren't always intuitive. I don't like having to click on a button without knowing what it does just to see what it does. You shouldn't have to have a user's manual or a training session to use a User Interface. Come on Microshaft - you've been doing this stuff long enough that you should know this stuff by now.

Anyone else have it yet?
 
I'm not going to update for a while, if at all. I just got this laptop a week ago and I'm just getting used to Windows 8.1. I'm running Classic Shell to keep it looking and operating more like Windows 7 and I'm still using 7 on my desktop. I don't see the need for all the upgrades and new shit. Not to mention, I have certain software that needs 7 or 8.1 to function, so I'm in no rush.

My grandma's computer updated and so far, she hates it. It's much harder for her to make changes to her setup to have her browser laid out like she had it before. Granted, she's 81, but she was good with 7 and 8, but this is a little much.

That's about all the experience I have with it so far.
 
I am retiring from the computer world by the end of the year. Bread and butter has long been supporting Windows crap ... first thing I am doing is buying a Mac and never looking back.
 
Sound blaster? LOL
 
I pulled it down on the 29th. No issues so far. I like the email app & the one drive cloud. Still tweaking & exploring it though.
 
I still miss 98SE !

It was in the computer when I got it. It used to be a marketing department's computer. Used to make infomercials and ads for an automotive group. A good friend is the IT guy and when they get new PC's, he is the one who gets rid of the old stuff. It's 4+ years old, but it was state of the art back then. Still hums along pretty good considering. 18 gigs of ram with 2 2.0 ghz Xeon processors. Runs all of my Adobe apps (Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator, Muse and InDesign) at the same time without slowing down. I'm currently running dual 19" monitors, but the card can support a third, so I may do that at some point.
 
I've had my Droid Turbo, for 4 months now, & still can't figure much of it out. Thursday it kept wanting to do a major update, that I finally accepted. Already missed 2 calls, Not being able to answer the damn thing. By 12:01pm today, I was back at Verizon Store, bitching, & asking WTF? Spent 15 minutes with the manager, & saw He even had trouble with it, but really found Nothing wrong, & couldn't duplicate several of my problems. He should me how to take a "screen shot" next time I had a problem, so he could see what I was getting. Soon as I was back home, something happened again, so I went to do the Screen Shot, And of course it wouldn't work!!!!! What I keep telling them, It Won't f---k up at the Store, just wait til I leave! My PC is windows 7, & Goggle is my Browser, & No body better Mess with it! :kaioken:

I've got a droid turbo to I've had some problems since the up date. Mostly related to texting and its alot slower now
 
YES! the text, All contacts, delete functions, & missed calls, all seem to be Scrambled together.
I also asked the manager, how to delete my Map searches, as I don't Need previous searches/maps, coming up, as I Try to enter a new search. He Could Not find a way to delete them! That Sucks!
 
Alot of times when I go to reply to a text it wont let me enter any works I have to clear the screen then go in again. Not a huge deal but a pain either way
 
got on the computer this morning & windows 10 did the auto update. This update put me in some kind of "boot loop" stuck on black screen. Could not start in safe mode to recover.

Pulled out my 8.1 disc. installed. Fuck windows 10
