Updating the operating system is a process that pleases many, but not all. Some users are in no hurry to upgrade to Windows 10. We will review user reviews in this article. Is it worth it to resort to this process or is it better to stay away from it?
Offer or obligation
To begin with, it is not yet clear whether this process is mandatory or not. On the one hand, updating the operating system is a voluntary decision. But on the other, this alert appears too annoyingly for users. And so updating Windows 7 to Windows 10 is not getting the best reviews.
The thing is that after the owner of the licensed "seven" receives the first message with a proposal to conduct the process, it will be impossible to get rid of it. Updating Windows 10 will haunt you at every step. This annoys users. And if you do not want to change the system familiar to everyone to a new one, you will have to endure annoying messages. So in terms of voluntary decision there is every reason for doubt. And this does not suit many.
Availability
True, if you are not skeptical about updates, then this proposal may please you. After all, it is free and accessible to everyone. It is enough to have a licensed copy of Windows.
Free upgrade to Windows 10 reviews in terms of accessibility earns only the good. There are no significant restrictions, unless the resources of your computer must meet the minimum system requirements. Have to allocate time for this process (30 minutes). But this is not such a problem, as many users claim.
Not for all
True, upgrading to Windows 10 does not get very good reviews from owners of older versions of Windows. We are talking about those who would like to complete this process, that is, abandon the old operating system and change it to a completely new one.
User dissatisfaction with the fact that automatic updates are available only to owners of licensed copies of new Windows. What is it about? Many say that you can automatically upgrade to Windows 10 if you have at least Windows 7 or any other, newer operating system. But the owners of XP, Vista and so on will not be able to automatically carry out the process. Users of these operating systems are outraged - they often have no idea about the release of a new version of Windows. And this is quite normal, because all alerts come from the Update Center. In older operating systems, it is not.
Update process
The latest Windows 10 update gets mixed reviews in terms of its installation. The thing is that in some cases you will have to try pretty hard to properly "crank" the process. And not everyone likes this solution. If there is an update, then it must be automatic and take place without any fuss. So many believe.
However, in general, the process is not particularly complicated: either you agree to the offer in the Update Center, or use a special utility from Microsoft to run. There is nothing complicated about it. Sometimes this is somewhat inconvenient, but the update is quick and without complications, as well as crashes and malfunctions. And it pleases. After all, you do not have to puzzle over where to get the installation disk with the operating system. The main thing is to have an Internet connection during this period. Otherwise, as noted by users, you simply cannot download the system update package.
Little surprise
But not everything is as good as it seems. If you are used to updating the operating system at the first request or message, then you will not have any complaints about this process. Otherwise, there will be a lot of nit-picking.
For example, upgrading to Windows 10 does not receive the best reviews for its surprise. Some users note that this process occurred without their knowledge, on their own. That is, someone for a long time refused the offer, and the computer itself decided to implement the update. Of course, such unauthorized behavior will please few.
Why does it happen so far no one knows. Maybe this was originally conceived. But, most likely, this phenomenon is the most common system failure. Microsoft does not comment on this. Therefore, it is worth taking the incident into account. There is no guarantee that this will not happen.
System design
Updating Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, reviews from users, as you see, are not entirely clear. Everyone stays with his own opinion. Nevertheless, most users still generally have a pretty good impression of this operating system.
For example, some people like the design and style of Windows 10. Very often, users emphasize this feature as an advantage of the operating system. A trifle, but it leaves its mark on the popularity of the OS.
In addition, the fact that the owners of not very powerful computers updating Windows 10 will bring great pleasure is emphasized. Compared with the same "seven", the tenth version is faster. And all this again thanks to a simplified but sophisticated design. Do not refuse too quickly an interesting and absolutely free offer, think a few times before that.
System performance
Of course, each operating system has its pros and cons. And they all influence the opinions left by users. The November update of Windows 10 received not the best reviews from its customers. And all this is due to the operability of the operating system.
What is it about? To be honest, many users claim: Windows 10 is not yet fully operational. And if you need a fully working system, it is better to refrain from the annoying offer of Microsoft. Otherwise, you risk getting not just beautiful Windows, but a product with a huge number of bugs and shortcomings.
For example, the most common complaint is the failure of the sound card to work. After you upgrade, the sound will simply disappear. And with all this, the mixer in the system settings will also not be displayed. You can correct the situation, but with great difficulty. Thus, if you don’t really want to “mess around” with problems after the update, refrain from the offer. This is the advice advanced users give to novice users.
Lack of opportunities
Another point during which updating to Windows 10 is receiving negative reviews - after this process you will not just get a new operating system with many flaws, this is a product where there are no many useful components that the user is used to.
For example, it doesn’t delight people that now in Windows there are no standard games at all. You simply won't find them. In addition, there is no media player here either. On the one hand, it’s not critical. But on the other hand, if you are used to Windows Media Player, its absence will be very noticeable.
In addition, you have to remember - Windows 10 was invented as a universal operating system. And she will no longer look like a computer. Rather, its functionality is not much different from a smartphone or tablet. Users who are accustomed to Windows 7, for example, do not like such changes, so they try their best to avoid the update process.
Incompatibility
Now we know what reviews the update to Windows 10 receives. Problems with this process, it is not difficult to guess, arise quite often. And few people will like it. Nevertheless, the biggest indignation was caused by the incompatibility of games, software and some devices with the operating system.
According to most users who switched to the "top ten", they had to abandon not only half of the equipment connected to the computer, but also many programs and applications. Most of the games and other software can not be run on Windows 10. This, of course, is a huge disappointment, which no one warned about. In addition, if some application started, then with a high degree of probability there will be constant errors and malfunctions. Over time, this bothers.
In addition, connected devices are now slower. For example, a wireless mouse will require more frequent recharging. And the connected gamepad (if it is recognized) can turn off altogether almost after an hour of work. All this does not please users, but disappoints. As you can see, upgrading to Windows 10 gets mixed reviews. Nevertheless, to perform this action or not - everyone decides for himself. In most cases, users who have already worked with the "top ten" are advised to wait until the system is finalized to a normal state.
