Infact...thats happening to me as we speak.i had 4gb RAM X2 making 8gb...windows 10 has basically destroyed 4gb...my system reads only 4gb... here attached is the picture of what my system has beem doing for thr past 5 hrs and the 4gb RAM that got damaged....And someone is telling me WIN 10 is the best....if i hear...

If your system is 64bit are you sure you install the 64 bit OS? 32 bit OS may have issues going beyond 4 gb

I just upgraded to Windows 10 , after countless attempt. Now am seeing the greatest shocker ever. my pc is just black.
I have reboot, restart, shutdown and switch on again, yet no success the funniest thing is when booting it look ok, it even show me the window 10 logo and the password and login section. But immediately it enter Desktop everything just turn black.
I can't see anything on desktop. Chai this frustrating. who send me upgrade in the first place. Am finished,
Please who can help me out

If you have another monitor, connect it ad see if it will come up on that one, don't forget to press the external display function key on your keyboard

If you don't, then do this

Boot to safe mode
Just before the windows icon comes up just be pressing F8 to enter safe mode, then when it windows load, go to Device Manager and update the display drivers

BTW, did you upgrade with Microsoft tool or you did it manually from a CD or ISO file?

When will VIN start working in Nigeria

A Nigerian panel beater can change everything in a car and still present it to you as fairly used and there is no information to look up.
The more reason you should stay clear of Nigerian fairly used vehicle even if na woman or banker bin get am.

Leaders of tomorrow..

Yeah, dont worry when I'm there, I will be coming from time to time to visit you on nairaland where you reside

Where the tourist go visit?

Is it Yankari Game Reserve where Boko Haram is killing soldiers or Cross River where militants have taken over two local governments or Ibeno beach where a pipeline was bombed off the coast.

Mr Minister, go and do your homework first, tourist will hear about it and come.

Expect this headline tomorrow, "Tourism to earn more revenue than oil in 2017 - Lai Mohammed"

NIS that is supposed to check all these in the market are virtually non-existent

Braidsden:
God. All this is like computer science course to me o.....just cus I wanna upgrade to windows10?!

This info you get for free is the Only stuff the computer engineer needs to know when you pay him 5k to fix your laptop. Knowledge is power

Princetolu94:
Window 10 sucks. I Upgraded to window 10 twice n downgrade back to 8.1. After upgrading, Bluetooth won't work, SD card port not working, battery draining very fast, unable to increase or reduce screen brightness. F**k window 10

Check the device manager and update all drivers

6. AutoCAD or some other programs cannot install

Solution:

Download .Net (dot NET) 2.5 – 3.5 Framework and install on your system.

To check which version of .NET Framework is in your PC (probably only 4.5), enter from the RUN box again (Win+R) and type regedit (MAKE SURE you do not change anything here, just look and close)

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > .NETFramwork
A good system should have versions 2, 3 and 4 installed and listed


7. Consuming too much data

Unlike Windows 8, you can control your data consumption easily in Windows 10 (especially WiFi connections).

Just connect the WiFi first, then go to PC Settings > Network > WiFi, then select Advance Options, under your connected WiFi name, you will see “Set as metered connection”, just slide it “ON” and all Windows Updates and Map downloads will be stopped “forever” as long as you don’t change the name of the WiFi hotspot connection.

4. Games not playing

Most games were built for backward compatibility; however, most Windows 10 only came with DirectX 12c graphic engines.

Solution:

Download DirectX 9 (standalone version) from Microsoft or any other reliable site and install. (You may google “directx 9 offline installer” or “directx_Jun2010_redist.exe”), your GTA, PES etc games will play smoothly.


5. Printer not recognized

Get your printer driver from the “carry-come” boxed CD and run the installation again.

2. Display issues after installation

80% of the time, this is a common issue, icons becoming larger and funny looking

Solution:
Go to Device Manager (Shortcut: Win+R, then type devmgmt.msc in the RUN box and press enter or OK). Look for Display Adapter (probably with a yellow alert sign), right click on it and select “Update Driver”.
Then choose “Allow Windows to search for drivers automatically”. Make sure you are connected to the internet and wait for it to do its work.


3. WiFi not working

Same as above, still on the Device Manager, look for “Network Controller” (especially if it has a yellow alert icon) and update the drivers.

For some brands of PC, Windows might not be able to connect to the respective manufacturer’s site so you have to do it manually.
For HP users, just go to http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/ and search for your system model

After going through the thread on the Windows free upgrade deadline, I saw many complaints from people who installed the Windows and the others who were still skeptical.

To be honest, Windows 10 is the best Windows experience once everything has been set up and running

Let’s get straight to the issues.

First of all, you need to know basic information about your system.
Press Win+R and type in msinfo32 to launch the System information console and look for these items
a. Manufacturer
b. Model Number
c. Architecture ( 64 bit or 32 bit/86x) very important
d. RAM

These are the most important, other information are there

1. Download size and options

Yes, the download size is about 3.5 GB to get Windows 10 on your PC. Other additional installations/driver updates might take another 1 GB

Note: if you are upgrading from the Microsoft tool, make sure you have enough data (>4 GB) and a strong network otherwise any network interruption, even at 90%, you start afresh

Solution: Download a good Windows 10 ISO file with any Download Manager (which you can pause and resume at will), click here for the link or buy a DVD from a computer shop.

You are making a huge mistake in comparing a mobile OS to a desktop OS.

I'm not comparing any OS, data mining is the new gold. Apple operates a closed ecosystem which mines (harvest) data from its users on Mac since ages but Americans executives and companies are still using it (even more than Windows in some sectors). Google does same with their chromebook. Microsoft have been offering "profileless" Windows installation to users without any dedicated app store, so for them to announce that they will start doing what others have been doing since the beginning should not cause panic.

As long as you are using any tech product now bro from any vendor, you are being mined

DeCypherMe:
Upgraded since February, been fluid all the way. Only thing is the incessant disturbance of windows defender. Updates almost every other day.

You don't need to be updating everyday, just go to settings and set the notification to at least a week

linearity:
Before upgrading to Windows 10, please google and read up about Windows data harvesting.

This is the version of MS Windows till date that harvests lots of your data, though the goal seem benigh i.e. to give you "a personalized operating system", but if you are big on privacy, window 10 might not be for you. Yes, you can disable some of the privacy leaks, but don't count on it that, you will be able to disable 100% of them.

Lol, which of them are not data harvesters, Android that you are using is the worst culprit and you are still using it. Apple own na another level. Microsoft just entered the game late so no big deal

wristbangle:
Thanks for the info OP
Can my HP with 2GB RAM 250GB ROM support windows 10?

Yes Check here for the minimum specs http://www.ityunit.com/2015/07/windows-10-minimum-specs-for-upgrade.html

Don't worry, we have found a way for you to be installing free even after July 29
Click here to get the working ISO and how to install without creating a Bootable USB or DVD

For those not being able to play games after installation or having WiFi issues ,

First go to device manager and update any device that is showing the yellow alert especially display drivers and network controllers
Secondly, install .Net framework 2.5 to 3.5
Finally, install DirectX 9 version (it comes with DirectX 12c but some games needs dll files from DirectX 9 to run properly.

And because of that you ban I-pass-my-neighbor so that Nigerians will no longer watch matches.
