It's horrific. The familiarity that Microsoft so well built from Windows 95 till Windows 7 is all out of window (pun intended). I wish if you guys can tell me how to switch back from Windows 10 to 7.
I hate how the start poo up is all cluttered with stupid tiles, how my computer, my network links are gone from Start pop-up. You need to use your email password to login to user account, which means if you are sharing your account with your family, you are sharing your email id and password.
If you were on 8 then move to 10. If your are on 7, then don't

I wish I could go back to windows 7 on my home laptop. it came with windows 8 and is messing up everything......
I finally updated Windows 10, used it for 3 weeks, found the system too slow, I did not like it,switched back to Windows 8.
Anyone else found Windows 10 slow?
Do a clean install from Recovery. Unlike Windows 10, you can actually do it like an iphone. I had to get the installer from microsoft upgrade site as I guess the august installs didn't install the whole recovery.

You were right, clean install solved it all, it works much faster now,thanks.
I have been using Windows 10 since it first came out last year. I ended up upgrading my RAM from a measly 4 GB to a somewhat healthy 12 GB. My dad was helping me with the project and commented on my computer’s painfully slow boot time. The slow boot time is something I had been living with since before I installed Windows 10. It didn’t bother me since I rarely restarted my computer, putting it on standby when not using it.
The performance improvement caused by the extra 8 GB of ram became noticeable after 5-10 minutes of booting up. I was still perplexed about the decline in boot performance compared to what it was like when I bought the computer. It went from booting up in under 30 seconds to making me wait for the first 3 minutes.
The computer came with a 500 GB HDD and a 32 GB SSD. The SSD’s sole purpose here is to serve as a cache for the 500 GB HDD. I didn’t know if this cache was actually working or not so I started searching the web for answers. This is when I found out about the driver “Intel Rapid Start Technology” that my computer had on it when it I bought it. I had disabled this on my computer when I set it up for a Windows 8/Ubuntu dual boot. Then came windows 10 and it stayed disabled. Turns out windows 10 doesn’t even support the driver. However, the good news is that there another driver called “Intel Rapid Storage Technology” that does pretty much the same thing. With the new driver installed my computer is back to booting up under 30 seconds. Turns out my 32 GB SSD was just sitting there doing nothing all this time.
The Intel Rapid Storage Technology is something you can research/try if you upgraded to Windows 10 and your computer came with a SSD(Solid State Drive) cache.
TL;DR: For Intel chipset computers that came with SSD caches Windows 10 doesn’t automatically install the drivers needed to take advantage of that cache. That’s one reason Windows 10 might run slow on these computers. Do the research and install the driver if it’s compatible with your machine.
I had that driver on my thinkpad, but it is full SSD. I never actually redownloaded it after clean install and the computer actually might be slightly faster during booting.

You don't need the driver since you have an SSD only. This is for people who have both and their OS is on the HDD.
