Chrome seems to work well with Win10, I did have problems with it on Win7 though.

It's way beyond slow.  I went back to 8.1.  Now everything is working just fine

Good morning Andrea. I have not upgrades, I wanted to wait until some of the issues were worked out. I may be buying a new laptop and wonder if buying a new system all together.

Make it a great weekend!

 Good Saturday morning Andrea. As Windows really put anything good out since they discontinued XP? My only tie to the piece of crap world is my inspection software. I have not heard much good about Windows 10.

I downloaded Windows 10 and had to have a technition come out the same day to get my laptop working again.  It updated something that it couldn't read, because it was not included in the download, so it shut down the computer.

Andrea - Sorry you are experiencing a slow operating system. I typically don't upgrade right away because there always seems to be things that go wrong. I will wait a while longer before taking that step. Meanwhile, I hope your system gets fixed.

Andrea Swiedler knowing that initial release may have glitches, I have stayed away from this so far - and plan to do it once our 'season' is over - when I have something else to fall back on if the upgrade does not go smoothly.

I am sure there will be some tricks on making Chrome efficient on Windows 10.

I'm waiting to update to 10. I like to give any new OS about 6 months to work out the initial bugs.
