A few days ago I keep on seeing this update on the power logo. I tried a few restarts but it didn't disappear. So I checked the settings and see updates. I found the culprit why my laptop was too slow. The system is downloading the new version of Windows 10... Glad the installation is finished. So far I can't see any changes except the notification icon is showing a lot of who's popular in your network etc...

The new OS will definitely eat the ram of your pc :) Imagine the minimum requirement for ram is 2gb and still it run so slow.

Yes, downloading will slow down your computer, but I'm curious, what OS did you have before? 7? Because if you had 8, you should see a big and better difference. I love Win 10 and was one of the first to upgrade when it came out.

This is the reason why in disabled all updates now. I am happy for what it is at this moment and sometimes updates mess things up.

I keep on restarting to remove that update on the power button...when I checked the setting I saw the update will install 3:30 in the morning...i'm still sleep at that time..so that's why the alert keeps on appearing...

You should have performed a clean installation, even when i installed windows 10 on my laptop it lagged to much for a day then with a few more updates installed it works like charm

My son fixed my laptop and he said it is compatible with Windows 10, so here, I am using this and happy that it runs faster now.

Yes windows 10 is amazing.. They made some really useful tweaks with the structures of windows. I thought there will be some hard adjustments but after a few use it's still the same windows :) just with the new looks.

I hate when that happens. Mine updated too, but it got stuck on the restart screen and I had to turn it off and on. Then it worked fine. Stupid updates lol.

Been using Windows 10 for almost a year now. When I first upgraded, it also took a while.
