Are you new to updating? Do you have a choice when Sony, Nintendo, and XBox ask for a firmware update? Remember what happened to the PS3 with one of their firmware updates bricking gamer’s consoles? All updates on all devices are being pushed on everyone. Windows 10 is still Windows 7 just upgraded just like when you update your console. If you’re happy to accept it on other devices but not on others says something about the individual.

Don’t tell me it’s different. It’s the same. I think a lot of people on here are complaining due to a company then the actual update itself.

Nike’s modo “JUST DO IT”

Horrible analogy that's blind to the fact as to why so many people are having trouble with Windows 10.  Microsoft had zero part in building any of my PCs and they very obviously fail at determining which PCs can safely switch to Windows 10.  This is certainly not a situation where the device is a closed system.  They're screwing up mobo, software, and driver compatibility.  None of those are issues with game consoles where all configurations are known.  This isn't like when Microsoft bricked Xbox consoles with a firmware update--that was a mistake on their part, while this is more like them not caring.

Also, I'm very much questioning W10 stability at this point.  W10 does not seem to notice when there is a problem, requiring the user to resort to the task manager.  Today, I tried to drag and drop text from a browser based ebook to an office program, which I do often for note keeping.  This time, for some reason, it froze the browser and the office program.  I left them alone for several minutes and W10 did nothing at all, even though the office program did the "stopped working" greyed out thing.  I've noticed this several times in the past, as well.  It's obvious W10 still needs some work.
