I wrote "Windows 10 Download was Scary" because it was. I did not realize that it was scary because of what happens after the download. Here are some of my issues. 1. I cannot find anything. Everything is named differently. 2. My Printer no longer works. The computer does not recognize when I change the prompts in the Printer file. 3. My computer is always blanking out. It took me three times to write this post and I have written 3 different posts already. That means I am doing 3X's the work! That upsets me most. The hardest of all is the printer issue. I do not know how to fix it and I am frustrated. I have been procrastinating on investigating it. It frustrates me to think of the printer and the issues I have with Windows 10 right now. For those who are considering upgrading to Windows 10. 1. Check your printer to see if it will accept the upgrade. I may need an upgraded driver but my printer isn't telling me that... 2. Consider how old your computer is. Windows 10 will have more complications in older model computers that did not come with the software. 3. Be ready for a fight! Sometimes there is a little issue that you may just have to get over. You are going to have to fight to find a file, fight to find a command, fight to find some of your older software, you may even have to fight with Windows to get what you need from your machine. Remember that everything is not perfect (I am trying to tell myself this as I inch towards the printer). For those of you who have Windows 10... What do I do about my printer not working? It gives some weird command for me to fix something in the Printer folder and when I fix it, the printer does not recognize the change. My printer ALWAYS works! What do I do about the constant loss in productivity? Does anyone else have this problem?

This is exactly what Windows 10 did to me before I downloaded it. It was getting on my nerves.

Well, let me say that you are not alone facing issues of adapting to the new OS. I recommend that you install what I've recommended in my response to your earlier post. Go for the full recommendation on the optimizer and your issues will be resolved quite easily. However, do be prepared for some work on some backdated software programs which either has a newer version or ceased support. Actually, you can always visit your brand's official website to look for the latest updates to your devices' firmware. Sometimes, I just prefer to remove and reinstall the drivers over to using patches for you may never know what ever happened to your hardware when it was upgraded to the new OS. But this is your choice.
