Don’t say no to a free copy<\/h1>\n

Microsoft’s Windows 10 is a million times better than what preceded it<\/h2>\n

by Reviewer Rob<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was recently offered a free copy of Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows 10, via a message that popped up on my Toshiba laptop screen. Not too happy with Windows 8, I readily accepted and entered my email address in the box provided. I never got an email asking for any confirmation or even that the software was ready to download. But a few days ago another message popped up on my screen telling me the software was ready to install. I went through the download and set up phases, which were lengthy, and then there were the multiple auto-restarts as it configured, but when it was set up I found I was well pleased. It’s a huge improvement over Windows 8.<\/p>\n

And it was free!<\/p>\n

There is a cursor freeze problem <\/strong>that comes up sometimes right now where the pointer will lock up and be immobile for a couple of moments before something releases it, and an annoying sticky zoom-and-fade function<\/strong> that accidentally arises if you hold your finger on the mouse pad while moving the cursor with another finger, so you have to watch that. But other than that I haven’t noticed any real drawbacks, and these deficiencies might get rectified with a software update soon. <\/p>\n

There’s greater ease of access to the menu board in the lower-left of the screen and a superior picture viewer app as well as a Movie Maker that Windows 8 totally lacked. All in all it’s a great product.<\/p>\n

Windows 10 was a great value especially for the price!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
