i use USB3 and I use Windows 10 and Mac about the same
Yeah - USB3 is pretty good. Might even be as fast as eSata (might have to google that).
I have Mac and Windows. I find that I use Mac for more non-work stuff - just surfing online... Windows is where I get my work done.
Great tips tho @Dell. Thnx for sharing.

I grabbed one of these today - Amazon Echo Dot. It's 20% off and I've been wanting one of them for my kitchen. I already have one for a few othe places so this will be nice.
$39.99 so I grabbed two of them.

$349.99.... not bad. I might just need to take a look at it. I need something for the TV room...

Hi @Roger B - Welcome to the forum. Did the upgrade finish?
I personally had to restart my Anniversary Update..... it sat at 99%. Same thing happened to a few users here - https://windows10.help/topic/503-ug-freezes-ay-99/?do=findComment&comment=2093
So don't give up!

i just thought I would write my experience with Windows 10 on Mac
Awesome. What OS do you find that you use more? Windows of MacOS? I have both myself and these days, I can't say if I really have a preference anymore.

So what interface is being used to connect that external drive? Is it Thunderbolt or USB or what is it?

Reminder @joyce ultsh, at least for now, if you are back at Windows 7 or 8, you can still do a free upgrade by following these instructions.
Hope that helps.

Once I fully patched and reboot, I kicked off the upgrade again using the tip from @adacosta. Although I missed the deadline to upgrade, I used the blog post here: https://windows10.help/blogs/entry/6-windows-10-free-upgrade-apparently-still-available/ for my Windows 7 -> WIndows 10 Upgrade.
1I just upgraded an old DELL (Latitude e6420) to Windows 10. It was an upgrade from Windows 7. I used the Accessibility link from @adacosta so thanks to you and @Vadim!

Maybe families can get to know each other better, and communicate with each other again.

Unfortunately.... I pay for it.
I was using the FREE version. I bought a 1TB drive for my parents and backed up my PC to them and their PC back to me. However, they kept turning off the external drive or the laptop (or both) and it just became a pain for me always calling them.... (sigh).
So now I'm using the family edition. I pay like $50 a year or something. That said, I do backup 3 computers to my main box and then back up that main box to Crashplan since it's unlimited data, versions, deleted files. Love it.

I forgot to mention I normally would take the drive out and copy the files and data before doing this but that was not necessary as the user had two backup hard drives.
Nice - Yeah great tip.
Did the users have any backup? I was using Backblaze however for awhile now I'm using Crashplan for this very reason. I love how you can be really granular on changed files/version history.

So I went to AMD and got the latest driver for my machine.
1 - I'm sure you already did this but, have you flashed the BIOS on the machine before or after the update to Windows 10? I ran into a lot of issues on my Lenovo until I did this.
2 - Next question - do you have any Virtual Machines on this laptop? This could also be impacting your HOST laptop ie: Do Guest VM's have Num Lock enabled?
3 - Check your BIOS. Sometimes Num Lock and Caps Lock settings can be configured in your BIOS settings on the laptop.
4 - Here's some additional data re: Num Lock and Caps Lock Lock Keys
To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, follow these steps:
- Run Registry Editor.
-
Move to:
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard - Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators using setting below:
0 – Turn all indicators Off (Numlock, CapsLock, ScrollLock)
1 – Turn CapsLock On
2 – Turn Numlock On
3 – Turn CapsLock and Numlock On
4 – Turn ScrollLock On
5 – Turn CapsLock and ScrollLock On
6 – Turn Numlock and ScrollLock On
7 – Turn all indicators On (Numlock, CapsLock, ScrollLock)- 1

Lastpass..... yeah.... not a fan. OK. Good to know. Will check out the family version.

Well, from what I can read, there is no great option for 1Password on a Chromebook. They have an option https://1password.com/families/ however I don't like that option... Subscriptions suck.
So it's a bit of a non-starter for me (sad).

Just read this article from Jack Busch http://www.groovypost.com/reviews/asus-chromebook-flip-laptop/
Anyone have any experience with a Chromebook? I'm actually tempted to have one of these to replace my iPad as my "Couch-Surfing-Box". Can you use 1Password and Dropbox on it? Anyone know?

Thanks Profiler! I'll go through the article first
For what it's worth @Mandy.... if you are still having problems after the 29th, I'll put money on it that Microsoft support will let ya upgrade for free. I have nothing in print to tell me that however, if you point to this forum post, no intelligent human would say - Sorry, deadline is over!

Been a long trip but it looks like we now have a good Windows.
Agreed @ralph blake. I just loved Windows 7. Windows 8 was... meh.... but 8.1 was solid. Had I not been a long-time reader of groovypost, I probably would have not upgraded to Windows 10 but now that it's done, I love it. Best of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 if you ask me!

Hi Is this a false positive?
Perhaps... Still should be able to look and see. My guess -- those are probably indexing BOTS crawling the site. Perhaps...?

As has been recommended in the above post, you need to upgrade to Win 10 no later than July 29th.
Exactly. You can download the ISO media, however, unless you upgrade you're out of luck.
As Dave mentioned in the above-linked article, there are several ways you can do the upgrade in order to get the rights. Pretty clever honestly.
Makes sense @James George ? Question answered?
