It slows down the system because it utilizes most of the systems RAM, cracked games you enjoy on windows 7 will not work on windows 10, my verdict maintain what you currently have and if you need windows 10 buy a laptop with modern board of 1 slot for RAM the 8gig RAM and above.

You are right.
I noticed startup is slow, but apps runs smooth and fast maybe because my laptop has 6gb RAM.

Still working on speeding up the boot time.

Well, i think the Windows 10 upgrade assistant is suppose to pop-up if your connected to the internet, thats how i came about mine.... but if yours hasn't, then i think you'll have to download the ISO by yourself.... These guys could guide you.

You misunderstood me, startup does not use 2gb of RAM to boot up, I suspect there is a setting that is causing the bottle neck.

The issue I reverted to windows 8.1 is the default firewall and windows defender setting on that win10, it comes on by default and everytime you restart you have to put it off,

and

For someone like me who code and write some bad programs, like expl**ts, you may write your program and compile, and see that you cant test it, cus win10 has security i have never seen, their security is too tough brother, it kills man hours for me, and gives me problem setting the security to a level that can run my apps.

I can't deal with that, let them continue, when I need a win10 I go grab another system just for that.

Only the 3rd generation Intel core and above will work

.goto your system specs;if your processor is
(X represents any number)
Core i3 Bleep it won't work
core i3 2xxx it will work with legacy (old) drivers
If core i3 -3xxx and and above, it will work.
Note:these will only apply if you're using an Intel graphics card.
thanks

Windows 10 was made because for people like you and Omagzee... They notice lower rate of usage in Windows 8 and 8.1, that's why dey made Win10 similar to Win7.

Search online... Update your Bluetooth drivers... My PCs Bluetooth didn't work (since I bought it), it didn't work after upgrading to Win10 but it started working after updating to Windows 10 to latest updated version.. So you can update your Windows 10 or update your driver.

My battery life dropped from 6hours reading time to 3hrs approximately.
I hope there will be fixes soon.


6hours to 3 hours and not even 4hours, that's too poor. Well i guess this should be fixed in subsequent Update. You should always activate your battery saver and deactivate Cortana by switching off your location and possibly other background softwares and see if there will be any improvement.

Go to Microsoft website and click on Windows 10 upgrade where you will download an ISO file which you will have run and your journey to Windows 10 will begin.

I got this Win 10 update notification since mid may dis year and i have been reluctant to update it due to slow Wifi and compactibility issue. But d main reason i never upgraded was wen a friend of mine did an upgrade to Win 10, the graphics was expanded than the usual nd my own pc is Dell inspirion N5050. I Dnt even think it will work for me.

Go to Microsoft website and check for Windows 10 system requirement and see if your pc is compatible with Windows 10.
