[QUOTE=The Kins;48331469][url=http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/30/9072271/microsoft-windows-10-updates]First news on what's coming next for Windows 10, over at The Verge[/url] To give you the cliff's notes: - "Service Release 1" coming next month, possibly next week. No new features, just bug fixes. - Larger update coming October, featuring Messaging app and Edge extensions. Testers will get their hands on this stuff soon. - Messaging app: Skype integration for Windows 10, ala iMessage/Facetime on OSX. Phone and video calls and Skype chat without needing Skype installed. - Edge extensions: Aiming to support all the same APIs as Chrome to make porting from Chrome require minimal/no extra work. Extensions are hosted on Windows Store and can be sideloaded by developers.[/QUOTE] I love their whole "lets just use the same shit chrome has" for everything, including windows phone apps.
SO I finally got the desktop to windows 10. For some reason my start menu takes ages to open.
So I installed Windows 10 but it seems my system doesn't recognise my GPU any more (Nvidia GTX 680). Is there any way to fix this or should I revert to 7 until there is a fix?

I had that, install standalone geforce experience, then the older driver and update it to the latest one through geforce experience
I'm sure this has been asked, but does anyone have a fix for installing GPU drivers on windows 10? I'm running two GTX 760's (in SLI, once I can actually get the drivers working) but I get a failure message every time I try to install them.
Whenever I get to around 35% on the W10 install my screen blacks out and I have no clue if it's making any progress. Yesterday I left it for around 3 hours whilst I was out and when I came back it was still on a black screen. When I force the computer to restart from this point it just reverts back to 8.1 again, so it's clearly still in the installer - but I don't know if it's made any progress or how close it may/may not be to finishing. And in any case this is very similar to when I ugradede my GPU last time, where it would automatically install the integrated graphics drivers over my actualy GPUs drivers, causing a black screen - but at least there I could blacklist the wrong drivers and force the right ones before it black screened.

If I reformat my install of Windows 7 will I lose the ability to install Windows 10 for free? Or should I upgrade my Windows 7 and then reformat after the upgrade?

has anyone else been getting a "logonui.exe" error when turning off/restarting the pc? it pops up on the "restarting" or "shutting down" animation, but doesn't seem to really show up otherwise
is anyone else having audio/video stuttering in chrome?

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JQiQoeM.png[/IMG] All of this wasted space is really bugging me[/QUOTE] Those tiles are 2 boxes big and the start menu can be increased in threes. So if you move them along and make a third colum you should be fine.

my biggest gripe with windows 10 so far - there's no option for dd/mm/yy. There should be. Because now I have to have it looking like this for the day and month to be the proper way round. [img]http://i.imgur.com/MPIJ2Pt.png[/img]
[QUOTE=Scot;48331980]fuck you that image is sick, and you only see it for two seconds while you put in your PIN[/QUOTE] I really don't understand why everyone seems to love the new default wallpaper. To me it just looks like a background someone would have rendered back in the Vista era. I don't think it suits the whole modern flat style at all.
is it possible to make windows autologin? I understand a password on my tablet but I really dont think I need one on my desktop.

Is it normal for my Windows 10 to boot up and shut down so slowly? It's taking aprox twice the time as Windows 7
