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.... -- Jeff Gaines Wiltshire UK All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand. |

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. Paul |

I think it's the same way you do on previous Windows. You can set to system
managed size. Paul wrote: I was shocked at the size of pagefile and hiberfile on the Win10 test machine. "XS11E" escreveu na mensagem ...
