So I have been pretty happy with a fresh install of Windows 10. Now the upgrade, that's a whole other story. With my desktop, it came when I tried to install Sling. It wouldn't install no matter what compatibility mode I chose, yet on a VM running Windows 10, no problems at all.
Fast forward 6 months: have a friend who upgraded from 8.1 to 10 a couple months ago (and called me after the fact, isn't that how these things normally go?). Originally it was a security scare, but come to find out this Dell just does not like other AV. We have tried Kaspersky, ESET, Bitdefender, AVG, and Norton (all free trials) and all of them either stop other programs from working, or won't install at all. The latest, Norton, started off the best, won't allow the Photos app to work properly (starts for a second then stops), and even with the latest drivers from HP, will only print pictures in Black and white with the leftover Windows 7/8 Photo Viewer. One of the other programs started zooming on the desktop for no particular reason.
So what's the deal? Are any of you all running into issues with the "free" upgrade to 10?
I am about to ask my guy to bring his machine over, and just doing a clean 10 install, as this thing is driving us both nuts.
