If you use any default MS programs at all, you'll need to carefully configure before running. If you're still having trouble and are okay fucking around with windows and potentially breaking stuff, you can try windows 10 debloater which is a script that uninstalls a whole lot of non-critical stuff, like cortana and Edge. OP, first thing I would try is a fresh install followed by loading all the latest drivers for your hardware.

But the fact is, it's a bloated piece of shit these days with all the 'features' that keep being added with all the forced updates. Windows 10 was advertised to be a super-lightweight OS that was supposed to run even better than 7. CPUs barely changed for 8 of those 10 years. And ITS the system that has issues with an upgrade.Ģ600 is completely fine. This was as close to bone-stock as I can get. Meticulously built, all legit hardware, no sketchy 4.5 star amazon brand names, ultra reliable, has never crashed or had an error of any kind EVER. This last system was the ONE system I kept as sanitized as possible, very little extra software, nothing ever 'uninstalled' to screw up the registry. Both actually ran BETTER with 10, which I couldn't believe, because I have long felt that 7 was the best Windows to date. Both those systems upgraded flawlessly with ZERO issues of any kind, never even had to think about drivers. As daily drivers, both accumulated the usual shitty software, shareware, bloated registries from a dozen not-quite-uninstalled programs, and all the other quirks and crap and errors and annoyances that come with daily use for years.

I don't quite remember if NT could upgrade to 2k or not, but if so it was also probably a complete and total cluster.Ī few years ago I upgraded two different systems from Win7 to Win10, both were daily drivers. In the Win95/Win98 days, doing an upgrade was literally taking your life into your own hands.

Windows 10 has ruined my laptop
