Windows 10 anyone?

We upgraded to 10 three months ago, we have now found we can't play DVD's or use memory sticks. It was fine before the upgrade, slower now too. PITA

Hi Migmac,
You're right about being not able to play DVD's I had to download a free player VLC to get round that problem but I haven't had any memory stick problems.
One annoying feature I have discovered with 10, is if you want to open a spreadsheet, presentation document it keeps opening up a screen urging you to purchase a subscription to office 365. I have OpenOffice installed on my machine (not being prepared to shell out again for office 2013/365 as my 2007 office no longer works.) Even after setting OpenOffice as the default application a couple of days later it defaults back & asks you again if you want to subscribe to Office365 Grrh!!!

i have recently noticed its slowing down aswell, although everything does work, have you looked in device manager to make sure everything has its drivers installed still

have you un-installed ms office ? if not and youre not using it get rid, it might cure the nag screen

Haven't done anything with it since I discovered these problems, will have a look tomorrow if I get time. Our microsoft office doesn't work either,I thought the license had expired - maybe not. Can hitting it with a sledge hammer cure it?

I've found since Nvidia released proper Windows 10 drivers all the glitches have gone

I'm still on preview so I get the testing upgrades but I haven't had any issues so far

And USB 3 is working now

Everything that worked under 7 works, I have switched to Chrome as edge is just a waste of drive space

It's better than the farce of 8 / 8.1. I have it as the other boot option on my personal laptop. Just as a VM for work to test things for the general users. Not noticed anything unusual speed wise.
