I completed another Windows 10 upgrade for a customer over the weekend and when I took the laptop back to their place of business, their employee who uses the upgraded laptop was beside herself to be rid of Windows 8. She particularly did not like the tiled Start Screen on Windows 8 and did not know how to search easily for programs and files. She was very excited to have the Start menu back with Windows 10 and to be able to pin her programs and apps there.
A second happy Windows 10 upgrade customer is a pastor friend of mine. One of his church laptops was "accidentally" updated by someone there. The pastor called me in a panic and said he needed help quickly because after the upgrade, one of the two projectors run by this laptop was not working correctly in their church sanctuary. It worked fine before the Windows upgrade and it worked fine with another Windows 7 laptop, so he knew the upgrade is what was causing his problem. I scheduled a time to remote into his computer today to trouble shoot his issues, check settings, drivers, etc but when I called, I could not reach him. I left a message and 10 minutes later I got a text, "I fixed it! I love Windows 10!! I was able to find and figure out the settings I needed and thought I was good to go. Then I discovered I had no sound, but again, I was easily able to find some settings that I messed with and got my own computer fixed."
