Re: Windows 10
I use Chrome or Firefox as my browsers, I tried Edge but found it far inferior to my favourite two.

Re: Windows 10
I tried chrome and firefox on my previous computer.
Chrome wasn't all that and Firefox was brill until recently when it went hay wire and I deleted it.
Not sure why! praps Avast didn't like it!

When I no longer need Windows for work, I'm upgrading to Ubuntu.

Re: Windows 10
I use Windows Explorer, Edge was not at all to my liking.

Re: Windows 10
I use Firefox but it was playing up on my laptop and kept locking up. I went into Troubleshooting and refreshed it and it seems to be back to normal. I didn't like Edge at all and have never found Chrome user friendly.
I was taught to be cautious

Re: Windows 10
Just recently had a major upgrade automatically installed on Windows 10, and it's certainly made major improvements.
It now loads from start up in about 15 seconds, it takes longer to load the chrome browser than to start the laptop. It has also improved the recovery after its been in sleep mode after I have had the lid shut, previously it was very lethargic taking forever to get back up to a reasonable speed, which was never as fast as after first start, and the curser had to be regularly reactivated via the on board Sony Vaio care auto repair, and even Chrome seems to be working better than before.
Don't know how they did it but well done Microsoft.

Re: Windows 10
Me too, and yes it is faster but it now fires up ' Live Mail ' on Start-Up .... not too sure that I want that to happen.
