That is similar to my experience with Windows 10. The install went
great and I was quite pleased with the interface though different from
the Windows 8.1 desktop.

After running it for several days things started to go wrong. Opening
programs would freeze the system. Initially a simple program like
Notepad. Eventually that started working again, but I never could get
passed the freeze up with my word processor.

I decided to roll back to Windows 8.1, I am still working to get that
back to where it was before Windows 10. That was about 10 days ago.

Inferences based on reports thus far: No 3rd party tablets, no
PCs/laptops/printers/etc older than mid-2013 or thereabouts, no devices
optimised for Win 8/8.1 or earlier. That cuts out a very large proportion
of current technology.

Anyone taking bets on the release date of Windows 10.1?

Hah!

Have a good day,

I have an Acer tablet that I bought in 2012, and it runs Win10Pro x64 better
than it ran Win8.1Pro x64 (it came with Win7 Pro x64 installed). My HP
printer (at least 2 years old) works fine, too, with all of its functions
working as well as they do in Win7.

I thought in the beginning that one of the big selling points of Win10 was
that it would be compatible with older hardware. What it will be in the
future, who knows? Microsoft may decide that you need the latest and
greatest to continue receiving OS updates. I guess that's their right, but
it will sure **** off a lot of users, myself included.

What kind of issues did you have with the rollback?

I have WIN 10 installed on some old laptops (old Lenovo Think Pad W500
and an old Dell Inspiron)and it runs very well.


What hardware (cpu, memory) does the TP have?
