G+_Steve C Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Windows 10 anyone? I downloaded and started using Win 10 yesterday right after the MS announcement. So far it's just like Win 8.1 but I hope it doesn't crash as much with the blue screen of death. Even though Win 7 worked fine, when I "upgraded" to Win 8.1 it didn't like my video card, sound card or SSD. I replaced the video and sound cards but it kept crashing. So far Win 10 hasn't crashed but I did find a few problems so far, 1. No sleep mode, 2. LCD display not supported, it has 1920X1200 and Windows only goes up to 1600x1200. New AMD Catalyst driver won't install either. 3. Chrome browser is really slow, was slow in Win 8.1 and crashed a lot also. Lots of complaints about that online but changing settings for hardware acceleration may have fixed it. 4. Device Manager shows unsupported device called PCI Simple Comm. Controller that has no driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darrell Crone Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Err you realize this is a technical alpha right? It's not even Beta. A new release (last one was before Christmas) is coming out next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 So far it's good enough to be a Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's interesting that on the Windows Insider Program webpage they say you can Provide feedback or Access the Insider Forum but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that. Guess it's not ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Steve C Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 They must be trying to catch up with Apple (and to distance this release from Win 8)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darrell Crone Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 You have to be accepted into the program, then they give you access to the forums. I am in the program and we get daily updates from those in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Steve C Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Darrell Crone Darrel, I signed in so it looks like I'm accepted but can't find a way to do anything unless there is another double secret step they aren't telling me about.
