Members John81 Posted August 4, 2015 Members Share Posted August 4, 2015 After the problems I encountered trying to upgrade from 7 to 8 on this computer I'm hesitant to think of upgrading. However, I am considering purchasing a new computer which I would like to have Windows 10 if I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted August 4, 2015 Members Share Posted August 4, 2015 I have tried about 20 times to upgrade to Windows 10 without success.I keep getting a error after it takes hours to download. Error 0x80070003. (sometimes 0x80070057) I follow the steps to resolve the problem, restart the computer and the update, only to run into the same problem.Rinse, Lather, Repeat. LoL Linda was able to download and install it on her PC with no problems.

Moderators OLD fashioned preacher Posted August 4, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 4, 2015 My Win7 laptop and my wife's Win8 laptop are now Win10. No problems and the adjustment to the differences were simpler than the Win98 to Vista or the Vista to Win8 type changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted August 4, 2015 Members Share Posted August 4, 2015 Â Unfortunately that's the trend, which a few raised a fuss about when Google started doing it some time back, but the complaints quickly faded away and most people just accepted it. Sad to say but the idea of personal privacy isn't as cherished as it once was. Most folks seem either resigned to having their personal privacy violated, or are outright okay with it. We saw this with the debate over the communist Stasi-like gathering of citizens personal and private matters by the NSA. A few were outraged at the government intrusion upon private citizens personal information but the majority either didn't care or were all for it.

Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted August 5, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 5, 2015 The real insidious part of this invasion of privacy thing is that most think: "But I'm not doing anything wrong, so what if the government knows?"  The insidious part is that what is ok today may very well be illegal, or get you thrown in prison in the future. Laws change daily and new laws crop up depending on who is offended by what. Oh, and don't forget "executive orders" from a president who cares nothing about our constitution or freedoms.  John81, Ronda, EKSmith and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted August 5, 2015 Members Share Posted August 5, 2015 Those who have already installed Windows 10, make sure you disable "Wi-Fi Sense".  Having it on allows people on your Contact lists, i.e.; email contacts, to connect to your network from outside if they are in your neighborhood.

I use google chrome with it, not Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am considering purchasing a new computer which I would like to have Windows 10 if I do.brother if you've got 8.1 you should get the download free, check your updates and you should find it there .when you install the update it will install a icon on your screen ,click on it and it will check your system to see if it is capable to run 10 If it is MS will send you the download. But if your computers older then two years you may won't to look into buying a new one, its sad the money we spend on these things they should be made to last longer then two years,God bless brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
