Stream 7 - Upgrade to Windows 10 now or wait a while? What's the consensus?

At this point, I'm wondering if it is recommended to upgrade now or to wait. I tried installing Windows 10 yesterday and the installation failed during the last stages and reverted to 8.1. I'm wondering if it had something to do with the amount of disk space (yesterday, I had less than 8gb. Today (after some cleaning), I have 11.8gb. Also, I'd rather not have to deal with driver issues and other things mentioned in other threads. Can I get some insight?

Seems to be just slightly less snappy with Windows 10 vs 8, especially when it comes to complicated websites that embed video. But the charms menu is much improved, so much easier to turn off/on bluetooth and lots of other stuff. I am trying to figure out how to put an IE11 window because I prefer that over Edge (no adblock list).  I've never had the headphone buzz issue with my tablet, so others can chime in if upgrading to Windows 10 solves this for them or not.  For most people and even for myself eventually before the month is up, if you are happy with 8.1, stick with it, I don't see where this really changes anything for now.  P.S. - One thing, I didn't have much stuff installed but after installing Windows 10, I had 1 gb of memory left. So if your 8.1 tablet has a lot of stuff stored on it or not much storage space, I would recommend saving your stuff to an SD card before upgrading, you might not have enough drive space.

    I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
    To resolve the problem, I used  Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
    Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
    You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
    Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

  • Upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.7. What are the steps and do I also need to pay for 10.5 and 10.6 along the way?

    Hi. I wannt to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.7.
    What are the steps and do I also need to pay for 10.5 and 10.6 along the way?
    According to the 10.7 lion page on 'store' it says that you need 10.6 to use it does this mean I'm going to have to do 3 upgrades?
    Thanks

    Why do yoy want Lion/10.7???
    Anyway, if your Mac meets the requirements you can skip 10.5.x, and even 10.6.x if you can afford to erase all your data.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory[14]
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading[14]
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

    What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"?

  • Upgraded to Windows 7, now iTunes thinks it's a new computer and is making me authorize it

    My computer was recently upgraded to Windows 7, and iTunes now thinks it's a new computer and is forcing me to authorize it as a new one (which uses the number of computers I can authorize). Not only that, but it's making me do it more than once, so this same laptop has now been authorized 3 times. Any way to let iTunes know it's confused, and/or to put it back?  Also since the upgrade it will only download sporadic episodes of TV seasons I have purchased, not sure if it's related....

    Go into iTunes, select the iTunes store, and in the upper right hand corner of the browser, you'll see your account name.  Clikc on that, and you'll access an area where you can edit the details about your account.  One of the choices is to de-autorize all your computers.  Do that.  Then authorize the one you want.

  • Upgraded to Windows 10 now I have no sound

    I did the free home upgrade to Windows 10 and now the hardware has changed.  
    I have a different audio which "it" says is working fine but I have no sound at all.  Nothing, Nada, Zip. I cannot find the 'control panel' to even begin to try to work it back, nor do I appear to have the original sound hardware loaded.  
    ARGGGGHHHH  
    Help.
    I wish I'd never done the upgrade.
    Also, is there a touchscreen driver so I can use my probook with windows 10 or am I still stuck with the mouse.

    I have the exact same problem. I bought an HP Pavilion All-in-One -23-q014 (Touch) yesterday and installed the free upgrade to Windows 10 during the installation process. Everything seems to be working fine, except I have NO sound at all. I already updated the Realtek driver through the Device manager and Windows says its up to date and working fine, but still NO sound. Please help. 

  • HP Stream 14 upgrade to Windows 10?

    I am running a new HP stream 14 touchscreen with windows 8.1 I want to upgrade to windows 10 before I am back to school (before i have to install all kinds of software and files) Obciously the Stream does not have enough SSD left to preform the upgrade.  I have created a clean install USB thumb drive but am worried about using it.  From what i have read the recovery partition that is not deleteable houses files that the system accesses. When i do a Clean install wiping the C drive (but not the partition) will everything work? will i loose the use of that partition space forever?   and lastly I used a program to access my windows key since it is located in the bios not on a sticker but I want to know if anyone else has done this and did it auto detect? or did they run in to any problems.  Sorry if this is all posted somewhere else but i am not finding any information at all. 

    Hi, 1. You can have this option: create a Recovery media (USB key) then delete the Recovery partition, this will give you more room.2. Not 100% work unless Windows 10 or you can dind all drivers for your computer. Again, to get more space, you can delete Recovery partition but please create a Recovery set/media first.3. I upgraded 5 laptops on weekend inluding 2 HP laptops. I used tool to get the keys by Windows 10 upgrade (not clean install) could detect the keys in BIOS. I still have few more laptops and my children laptops I will upgrade. I won't do clean install because I don't want to spend time to re-install all programs/applications again. Regards.

  • T61 upgraded to Windows 7, now can't install Rescue and Recovery or Bios update.

    I have a T61 6459 CTO that had XP SP3 on it. I upgraded to WIndows 7. I tried to install TVTVRNR450_025en, but I get an error msg "Rescue and Recovery does not support installing from the Operating System which upgrade from a legacy pre-load system." I tried deleting all old RNR and CSS programs in the old files after the install, but nothing seems to work. There is nothing listed in my add/remove programs. My Thinkvantage button doesn't work. How do I remove the old RNR? Should I have done that prior to installing Windows 7? Do I need to re-install my XP backup and start over? My Bios update extracts, but doesn't install. Help!

    Hi, FSURN82
    I did some research and was able to find this thread from Lenovo Forums. There are a few other people having similar issues. For some, installing an older version of Rescue and Recovery (sometimes even the one for their OS before the upgrade) would work fine. For some, however, they could not get it to work, so they would create backups manually using Windows.
    As for the BIOS issue, what version are you currently running and to what version are you trying to upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • Upgraded to Windows 10 now scanner only sees camera for Twain input

    With the upgrade to windows 10 i found that there was a new firmware update for my M1217nfw which I downloaded and installed.  I also ran the "docter" software and it found no problems.  However when I use the 'Scan To' function the scanner comes up and only sees the camera on my laptop as a TWAIN device and not the scanner.  The print function works fine.

  • Upgraded to windows 7 now my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working!

    I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Ultimate and my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working.  I've tried reading advice off of some forums here and even checked out what I can download from this site and also tried updating but each time it either says could not find updates, or when I  try dowloading from this site it says the program may have not installed correctly.  I'm stuck I don't know what else I can do, can someone help, I would appreaciate it greatly!

    Ah if only life were so simple. I have been without a soundcard ever since upgrading to Windows 7, have spent hours on the Lenovo site trying to locate a driver, filling in all those little boxes, time after time to no avail. The drivers, if they exist at all, are being kept secret. There can be no other explanation. Have the same problem with the fingerprint thingy, but not bothered as the kids had learnt to bypass it anyway.
    Enjoying windows 7 in complete silence. If anyone wants to advise downloading a driver then fantastic, but give us a clue where it is hidden.
