Hi all,

Yesterday I upgraded my pc to W10. It was quite easy, easier than I
expected. But it was a devastating experience. Many of my
applications
did not run on W10. The same for Classic Shell. And it looks so
cheap.
W7 looks so much better.
I did not know how fast to place back an image of W7. Happily
running W7
again.

Whatever went wrong, I don't know. But my W10 machine was a disaster.
Many applications did not run.
Second problem: Another pc upgraded with W10 did not run anymore. It
boots and then there is a black screen. It stays there. So also put an
W7 image back.
I don't think I will make an effort to upgrade more of my pc's to W10.

And there is a third problem. Tried to upgrade our W7 laptop to W10. It
went quite succesful to a percentage of 99 (preparing for the upgrade)
but it stopped there. No 100% and hence no upgrade. This is the third
problem with upgrading my W7 machines.
O yeah. The fourth problem. Our server running W7 Pr 32b could not be
upgraded due to the screen. Don't know why, with a Geforce GT 630 video
card.
So - I will give up upgrading.
No W10 in our house.

Fokke

the trick there is to d/l the Win 10 driver and use a Win 10 ISO burned
to CD/DVD for upgradeing. After upgrade update the driver from your d/l.


OK, and where can I find this driver? I can't find it at the MS site.


I already found it. A W10 ISO image.
But I won't install a fresh copy of W10 on a highly customized machine. It
takes too much effort to tune it again.


Your video card driver is he

x86 http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/105036/en-us
x64 http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/105037/en-us (in
case you upgrade to x64 (probably not))

Not sure if that would help. Maybe if you extracted the file (WinZip, 7Zip,
etc.) to a USB stick or to a CD. Does the installation ask for a driver when
it bogs, or does it just kick you out with an error?
