Just installed Windows 10 and there are a few things a bit off.
In iClone all the sliders buttons are invisible until the mouse is right on top of them, thing is, the buttons are no thicker than the line of the slider. Very difficult to move them by using the mouse.

yer a brave soul lol,  i still have my upgrade downloaded but uninstalled till everyone works everything out....

I was just reading this article on windows 10 being the last windows operating system ?
http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/05/08/microsoft-windows-10-last-windows/

now this is what's interesting about that statement -  the end of the windows 10 mainstream support is October 13, 2020 (extended support ends in 2025 )  does this mean that in 5-10 years,  windows will be replaced by an entirely new operating system ? :ermm:

especially curious is that intel is moving away from desktops
http://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-to-leave-desktop-motherboard-business-by-2016/

Meanwhile,  DX12 is all about the AMD...... so is amd the future of desktops ...and intel the future of mobile ? hrmmm

I just installed Windows 10 yesterday and do not have this problem... But maybe it's helpful to know that I did a fresh install rather than a simple upgrade. I did do a simple upgrade and ran into issues and bugs and glitches. So I decided to just wipe my drive clean and do a fresh install and everything is working fine now. Now I'm just trying to get all my files and other applications back.

What I've heard that means is that there will be no more numbered Windows (i.e. Windows 11, 12, etc.) it will just be called Windows.
I've also heard that they are also going to force all Windows 7 & 8 Home editions to update. You can defer the update for up to about 8 months but then all bets are off.
The other thing to note is that it looks like the Windows OS is going to a service base model (think Adobe) (think Office 365).
No more buy once and use for several years, it will be pay by the month/year.
With this model, says Microsoft, your device (desktop, tablet, phone, etc.) will always be up-to-date with the latest and greatest.
It's also been said that the troubling thought with this model for an OS is that it could open all sorts of doors for unwanted advertising being forced on your screen (think Google targeted ads on your desktop).

There will probably be a bunch of odd glitches that are unique to individual hardware/software set-ups.

Mine is that the wind motion for the Speedtree iTrees stopped working.

Yes, I prefer a clean install myself but it becomes a problem when you have many many applications to reinstall. I typically upgrade/replace my computer every three years and just did so last year. I'm not looking forward to reinstalling everything AGAIN so soon and "hope" that all the programs work on Win 10. It takes me typically a week to reinstall all my programs on a new computer and get them configured the way I want them. It's rare that an OS upgrade fully works for all applications and I gave up on them many years ago. Only clean installs for me. I also wait about a year to install any new OS so the biggest bugs are worked out. I'm still running Win 7 Pro and am happy with it. I have one test computer with Win 8 but that's it. I can wait for Win 10 until the initial dust settles and I see an advantage to install it (or am forced to).

a plan i was considering,  was to get another drive ( an ssd hybrid )   -  then mirror my current drive.   Once windows 10 is registered,  do a fresh install -  then migrate from the original drive.     I was thinking of just migrating the data and reinstalling -  but might be possible to migrate the entire program too.

Just think,  now with Windows 10,  the military can do the ultimate botnet to Ddos the rest of the world on demand! :w00t:

why do I get the feeling eventually operating systems will be created and controlled by local governments ? :ermm:
you have to admit,  microsoft is getting quite Orwellian...err ..aggressive with their approach to windows 10!

Not sure how you would migrate a program. Data yes, but a program ...
Each program can install various files (dll's and com servers) in various parts of the system and usually need to register those files, as well as various classes and program info, in the registry. That whole process is done during the install. There can also be conditional branches in an install (depending upon the CPU type (Intel vs AMD), OS, graphics card, etc.) that are taken to install different support files for the hardware found in the system.
Trying to track down and migrate all the files and registry entries would be more work than just re-installing the program.

I have only two (old) programs, that I can think of, that I can migrate by just copying their directory over to a new computer. It works only because they are simple programs and do not use the registry and any support files are in the same directory. They are the exception. Most modern programs use the registry and various support files.

there are some possible options,  such as virtualizing the apps,  but you are right,  it may be more trouble than it's worth.

I'm still going to do the mirror drive approach though,  this way i can keep my current windows 7 drive in tact -  from what i understand ....you have to upgrade first to get windows 10 registered, so you can do a true clean install.   you can make a boot up usb or cd,  but it has to be registered to your machine first.    Thanks microsoft :pinch:
