    I am WITH YOU on that. I am still HAPPILY on Windows 7 Pro. No reason to move. And EVERY Time I have to use Windows 10, I still cringe! Although, Right Click on the start menu. ALMOST Useable Again! :-)

      What are you guys installing/running that makes Windows 10 unusable? I don't really have many problems with it.

      got many devices attached to your pc? I doubt it. win10 now requires signed drivers. there are a lot of devices (like my now DEAD midi keyboard) that were distributed before the days of signed drivers and have companies not willing to update the drivers. All those devices are now dead with win10. there's a way to tell win10 to not require signed drivers that you set in the bootup sequence, but it doesn't work on my pc. The "will your pc work with win10" checker said I was good to go. It lied. Also, how many windows updates have you been through? I've been through a lot and about 25% of em have wrecked something. The win10 control panel and start menu behave like they were written in visual basic with an access db :( I kinda think Microsoft just can't do it anymore.

        since the last update installation it doesnt boot smooth anymore, but nerving with it shiny new blue screen with the known errors as IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL, some ARC_SYSTEM ??? and other stuff. I got to reset the BIOS and boot 3 times and the PC freezes. Such shit I havent experienced since Vista Previews. :mad::mad::mad: Addition: I got the next BSOD with fvevol.sys PS: I run the PC three month with Windows 8 error free, and two month with Windows 10 (no new hardware)

        I bought a new Surface 4 Pro a week ago and have exactly that problem, but even before update it to last Win10 Update 1511. So, I think the problem could be a driver, not the OS last update…

          Ignore the kneejerk Windows 10 sucks posts that responded to you. They aren't solving your problem. Reboot to safe mode and then turn bitlocker off on all drives. Reboot twice with bitlocker turned off. If your system is good at this point, back up your data and turn bitlocker back on. My guess is something got corrupted in your bitlocker configuration partition that is used to boot the system when bitlocker is turned on.

            It is MS, it is a feature. ;P Why are you W10 ? It is common knowledge that is still beta and will be at least until next year. Look, they are still adding features !

            So are Android and iOS. Do you also claim that Android and iOS are also in Beta?

              Read again my message, you will see that I speak about W10. Windows started 30 years ago, one can expect a new version to be stable. and stability is what enterprises want.

                I will wait until I have a (extra) PC that I can sacrifice before I upgrade anything in my house to Windows 10. Any other machines will stay as is; including the XP printing / scanning server (that simply works).

                  It is important to do the upgrade first, then follow up with a clean install. When you upgrade your machine is registered with Microsoft as eligible for Win 10, and you won't need an expensive activation code later - during the clean install. Just skip the parts where a clean install asks for the activation code.

                  Hold on a tick. Does this mean that I can use the upgrade to register my box for a free copy of Win 10, and then re-install Win 7? I'd be tempted to do that if I ever thought a time would come when I might agree to the Win 10 EULA.

                      So Win 10 has removed all signed code? :)

                        I find I'm getting problems when starting up. Yesterday, I started Win10, installed from a purchased copy, and it just froze after I started Windows Mail, Internet Explorer and Calendar. That was the second time in the last couple of weeks. A hard restart was the only way out of it, again. I am also experiencing a long hang occasionally when it is running. It eventually sorts itself out. Before these recent problems, I've had no trouble at all.

                        When I started up this morning, all I got, after I logged, in was a blank black screen. Didn't even have the opportunity to start any programs this time. Had to hit the hard restart again. It then booted up without any problems. What is going on?

                          But there really should not be anything that you as a user could install that would make an operating system unstable. And as KarstenK stated it *was* working until a (Windows?) update was installed.

                            Well, if you have a virus that would be a problem, but that wouldn't be Windows fault.

                              True enough. However, in this instance the "virus" in question seems to have been Microsoft's update.

                                  I had the same problem. It was a video driver issue. Went to the manufacturer website and downloaded the latest and it worked. I assume it restored the previous OS (Win7) like mine did?
