Out here on the Saskatchewan Prairies we are just 24 hours out from a wicked 3 day storm, there were tornadoes involved and a torrential downpour of rain, the thunder shook my wee house and rattled the windows, and the lightening was an awesomely amazing light show, huge forks of white blue and purple lightening that lit up the entire sky for 10 to 20 seconds at a time …… I do love our prairie storms, they are spectacular and frightening, folks who are not from the prairies normally duck and run for cover, our storms are quite different than the rest of the provinces , they are something to be witnessed as they are not easily described.

So I went ahead and installed Windows 10 on both the home PC and on my laptop, and I have 2 different versions of Windows 10, I have Windows 10 Home edition on the PC (full version) and Widows 10 Work edition on my laptop ( full version) , there are subtle differences but for the most part both are easy to navigate and use.

As I stated in the previous post , you can get Windows 10 for FREE from the Microsoft website , and it’s the full version, not a demo or trial, just go over to their site and click on the upgrade … it’s FREE , it’s a 3 gig download, but it goes fairly quick , it takes about 20 minutes for Windows 10 to set itself up, save your existing windows version ( so you can switch back if you don’t like the upgrade) and save all your files and settings, from there it’s a 5 minute install and BAM your good to go!

Now, I will say you NEED to watch the how to video’s , and read the help files, let Windows 10 assist you in setting things up the way you like, it is practically idiot proof !

I haven’t played around with their new Browser …. yet … it is called Microsoft Edge , from what I have read it IS all that and a bag of chips , it is designed to give both Fire Fox and Chrome a good run for their money…. meaning it is designed to meet or exceed both Fire Fox and Chromes abilities and ease of use etc. Microsoft Edge is a Major player in the browser world , unlike it’s failed predecessors (Explorer) …. I looked at Edge briefly , I never went further than it’s home page, it IS streamlined, and had local news on it, my only dislike thus far is it uses BING as it’s search engine and not Google , though you CAN go into the browser settings and make Google the home/start page. I shall play around with the new Microsoft browser in the coming days and give a review (personal opinion) on it, I am a die hard Chrome user, which is very compatible with Windows 10 , actually every program and file that I had on both Windows 8.1 (laptop) and Windows 7 (PC) work very well with Windows 10 , Microsoft did not attempt to force people to use only Microsoft products and programs with Windows 10 as they had done with Vista , instead they made Windows 10 compatible with most outside programs and products …. and again it is very user friendly.

There are many features that I haven’t played with yet, such as Cortina , activate that and the computer will talk to you , you will absolutely love windows 10 if you have a tablet or a touch screen on your computer , and you can pass info back and forth between windows based devices without the use of usb cords , just set the tablet , phone etc next to the computer screen and swipe… the stuff on your computer magically appears on the other device and visa versa .

BTW windows 10 is also available for your tables and windows based phones… absolutely FREE and again it’s the FULL version, and is FREE for as long as you own what ever device you downloaded it onto along with any future upgrades , they will also be FREE.

There is also no limit on how many computers laptops or devices that you can upgrade to windows 10 , Windows 10 also holds your previous version of windows for you, you have exactly 30 days from the moment you log onto windows 10 for the first time to decide if you want to keep it or go back to your earlier version of windows , click the reinstall previous windows version button and windows will restore your previous version and remove windows 10 , if you wait beyond the 30 day limit windows 10 will permanently delete your previous version of windows and you will be running windows 10 permanently.

Windows 10 did speed up both my PC and laptop, it actually uses less than half the resources (cpu and memory) than windows 7 or 8.1 and the graphics are unreal! you can also set up the start menu to function and look the same way as Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , Windows 10 gives you full preference and customization, you can do a great many things with it , I’ve only played with it for 2 hours so I am not aware of every feature and function …. yet. just give me a few days.

So that is about all I know of Windows 10 at this moment, I will play with it for awhile and report back with my thoughts and opinions, so far there is nothing I really don’t like except for the Bing and that’s a simple click of the settings button, as I said I am a Chrome user , so Windows Edge will be hard pressed to win me over.

Other than that I have been looking after a neighbour’s sick dog, a scruffy little pocket dog, not sure what breed it is , but it has the runs , I am going to get it some medicine tomorrow, I also have to do some shopping , I absolutely dislike shopping, but the dog needs food as do the cats and I have a 14 year old human eating machine (Hammy) to feed so it is a chore that must be done .

I have managed to pull myself back together after my grief meltdown, and Thank You ALL for your kind words, I do very much appreciate you all. I should be okay for a good while now… I hope.

Anyway that is all for tonight, I have to be up extra early tomorrow so I shall bid you all good night, oh and Remember Folks : express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.
