Windows 10 and Gaming - so what's up?

I feel for the ones that can just manage using a computer updating to 10. It would be a sideshow of sorts. I love it and my system works flawlessly, but I did a custom install and went advanced and turned all their "spyware" of which is allot to be honest. I also love Windows 7 and see no need for the average user to upgrade. I did as I need to learn it.

 

Well that is why set up Windows 10 on 2 pcs, but the laptop ran so slow and my All-in-One would not run Paltalk and I need that for my Chatroom so I am winging it with 10.
I was looking around and I might be able to throw together a mess of components and build a piece of crap to play with 10 with a clean install is what I was thinking because I am learning nothing about it this way and I know that some day it will be all that is out there. What I also might do is run 10 back on the Dell and then use the laptop for Paltalk. 10 fixed one problem I had with the 8.1 Dell All-in-One where every once in a while it takes 3 tries to boot it all the way up and I am almost as tired of this issue as I was of not being able to run Paltalk.

 

I've ran it since the first week of August and my machine is faster than it was with 7. Not one error or any hiccups, it must love my hardware.

 

Well I used a Macrium file to return Windows 10 to my Dell POJ (All-in-One) as it did solve one really annoying issue. Every other day it takes 3 tries to boot all the way into Windows. I have pruned startup, it is a new Ssd drive on which I ran checkdisk. I uninstalled all useless old programs I no longer use and nothing I do changes that except Windows 10 was fine on the bootup.

 

You would be better served if you installed it on your 4670k/R9 280x system instead of the Dell. Just pop in a spare SATA hard drive and if you still don't like it then scrub the installation. W10 runs very well on both my AMD FX 6120 system and the 4670k system. The only issue I had was core parking which I solved.

 

A DELL cough, puke, cough..........

 

I don't want to risk my business files on Microsoft's too early release and installing to the "puke-in-one" actually fixed a problem I have been dealing with unsuccessfully for months on the Dell. The thing began booting incompletely once or twice and finally will boot by 2nd or 3rd try and I cannot seem to find the problem. I remembered that, that went away when I had 10 on here. I only use this thing in my TV room at night Ray, it does the job. I would not do anything important on it. It has a 256 Gb Ssd Sandisk drive, 8 gb 1600 Ddr3 ram and an i5 3340 Gen 3 cpu and I paid next to nothing for it at the Dell Outlet 2 years ago.

 

I guess Dells aren't the worst, but they do use allot of cheapish parts though.

 

Yeah they all do. I figured I would run this until it dies and then trash it. It doesn't pay to fix these suckers as there are so many
hard to get expensive parts.

 

Hi Rich. For a test. Clone your OS to a spinner Drive and my guess it will boot first up.No two and three times.

 

Are you suggesting a mechanical hard drive? You think the SSD may have something to do with it?
I still have the hard drive that came in it but remember it boots fine with Windows 10 now and I have decided to stick with Windows 10.
The other day I had a call on a 10 pc and was bothered by how little I knew about using it and I cannot have that.

 

I had one of my Samsung SSD'S that didn't want to boot properly. Windows had issue reading the drive although checked out OK running CHKDSK. I cloned it onto a spinner Hard Drive and botted fine. Took it back and they checked it out and gave me another new one.
All the other Samsung SSD's I have are fine.

Good idea to learn Windows10 ASAP Rich to help your clients.

 

Yeah those of us doing this for a living have an obligation to learn this its not going away.
