Windows 10

If anybody is interested....


I have visual issues and I need to personalise my PC with larger fonts.

Whilst using the increased text scale in the display properties is useful, icons and menu bars etc need there own change.

As with most things Win 10, this has changed from Win 7

Here is a really useful guide, I have found on the web, to changing the font size for some of the important bits in windows that really help me as a visually impaired user....

Folks, I would be grateful if any 980TI users could report their experience of using W10 so far with the available drivers? Worth going for it? Or holding off a little longer?

Fwiw, I've a 980 and had no issues at all, put around 20 hours of gaming in since W10 on mixed games - using latest drivers from the Nvidia site.

No issues either with Windows 10 and a 980ti, I was hesitant also but all OK :)
 
Hi guys,

I bought a retail box version of Windows 7 Home many years ago (was in the pre-order discount period where you got it for about £45 or something like that). I then upgraded to 8 when they were doing the discounted digital pre-orders.

I'd like to upgrade to 10 but will be building a new machine in the next month or two and I might be cannibalising a few parts (PSU, RAM temporarily) but the core stuff will be changing so will I be able to install 10 on this new machine?

I'm sure I read somwhere that if you have a retail version you can load it on any machine, as long as it's only on one machine, does this sound right?

Again another 980 user.

I disabled hardware auto updates after install, uninstalled my Nvidia drivers via DDU and then reinstalled the latest 353.62 drivers from the Nvidia site.

I have had flawless performance since then.

There are plenty in the Nvidia Driver thread who could also help
 
So, does anyone know how to change the default input for the Surface 3?
When I click something to "type" on the on screen keyboard, it's the drawing input, rather than the on screen keyboard.

Thanks for the link. I too have visual issues due to Keratconus :( I will be using it :)
 
Upgraded to 10 (from 7 Home Retail) over the weekend and overall I have a working OS although some software which isn't yet compatible, along with a Creative ZxR soundcard where I'm having to use those community drivers. Had to do a clean install from USB because the initial upgrade was disastrous, in the the PC would effectively hang after a few seconds. Even though it took 2 attempts to do clean install (I accidentally installed 32-bit version first) this has worked. The OS is stable and I've managed to install most software I need. Nice to use a new OS and have all 32GB of my RAM used!

My question, and apologies if already covered, but if I want to upgrade to Pro I assume the best way is to buy a retail version? However I'm not sure if this means I would need to clean install Windows 10 again?

I've seen that I can upgrade my free Windows to Pro for £99 through the MS App Store but my guess is this will still be effectively a OEM licence. Is this correct?

Apologies a few questions here.

lol you dirty boy got visual problem so icons with with larger fonts not big enough to hid blind midget porn folder. :)
 
Thanks to those of you who clarified the W10 / 980TI situation.

Just another question if I may, if I upgrade will everything remain the same installation wise? I.e. do I need to reinstall applications and what not or will it somehow already use the previous windows applications installation files etc?
