Default Impressions of Win 10 TP so far


Just installed build 9841 on an Acer Aspire 5750 laptop - i3 processor,
8GB RAM, spinning HD.
Very impressed by the Windows 7 DVD/USB download tool which I used to make
a bootable thumb drive, not come across that before.
Very easy install, found most things apart from a couple of "base system
devices", I'll have to try and find out what they are.
It's set up for a US keyboard, need to see if I can change that.
Added a couple of programs to the start menu but it has put them on as big
labels instead of text so will need to sort that.
At least it boots to something sensible for a laptop and not that silly
iThingy screen.
Perhaps networking a tad faster? Certainly can't be slower than Win7 which
was a disaster.
It's installed to a single partition so will be easier to create an image
for backup.
XanaNews (64 bit) just works without needing to be installed (it's with my
well behaved programs on the D drive).

Will carry on experimenting....

I deleted my Win10 install so I can't check but on previous versions of
Windows the pagefile is adjustible by the user, can't you do that on
Win10?

I was basically looking at what it defaulted to.

Because Macrium was telling me the backup would be
pretty small, while Disk Management info showed the
partition as being fuller than that. That's why I was
taking a look.

I think it's the same way you do on previous Windows. You can set to system
managed size.
