I recently upgraded a Windows 8.1 machine to the latest Windows 10. After a week or so my PC started locking up with Chrome and Firefox being a big culprit. After reinstalls the programs failed to load up properly, as did some games and applications. This continued to get much worse until today when I rolled back to Windows 8.1. The PC is a fast AMD Quad with 8gb memory and dual graphic display. What went wrong I did not know, but everything just crawled after a few days. Who has upgraded to Windows 10 and found it working perfect? Just a note: If you did upgrade to Windows 10 and want to go back to Windows 8 or 7, you have less than 30 days to do it. ;) |

I upgraded 3 of my PC's to Win10 without issue, laptop sped up with games. Your symptoms sounds a lot like spyware on your PC, I would give Malwarebytes a run and see what pops up. |

I've NEVER been a fan of windows upgrades. I have always wiped the computer and done a fresh clean install of each new version of windows. Then again, I work in IT and aint got time for games. |

I upgraded one of my laptops. Upgrade process was easy, PC works ok. Not as snappy as win 7 there are just small delays here and there. Biggest issue I ran into is that there is no current video card drivers for older mobile GPUs nor are there likely to be, and my framerates took a hit. Granted this is an older laptop w 4gb ram. After 24 hours I set the PC to performance which turns off all the windows fancy stuff. and frame rates improved to good enough. I lost probably 10%. I will keep it windows 10 for a while. I had just reimaged this PC to a fresh win 7 install in MAY so I can always go back. I might take an win 10 image or look into dual boot. I want at least one win 10 pc to play around with. All my others are staying win 7 for the time being. I'm torn about my win 8.1 tablet. So I'm going to think about it. |
