My piddly Windows 10 Review part Deux


Okay I really don’t speak french ( the Majority of Canadians don’t contrary to popular belief) … like most I suffered through the mandatory french classes in high school , in the 3 years I had to “learn” the dang language… I came away with being able to mumble a few words here and there….

Anyway… onto Windows 10 again…. as I said in the previous post, if you download it , install it and decide you don’t like it, you have exactly 30 days to uninstall it and Windows 10 will restore your previous version of windows and install it on your computer/tablet/phone for you …and for free.

Again, the windows 10 download is FREE , and it is not a demo version or trial offer … it is the FULL Version … absolutely free , you pay nothing, ….ever .

So as you know I am a Google Chrome user ( Chrome Fire Fox and all your favorite browsers work well with windows 10 ) , so today I set to playing with the new Windows Edge Browser… OH MY GOD!! it is very streamlined, and wickedly fast! the graphics are UNREAL! and holy man does it ever play videos smoothly and there is absolutely no buffering ! I found the settings for it and switched it from the Bing search engine to the Google search engine, ( I dislike Bing… it’s a personal preference) I have found only 1 flaw with Windows Edge, and it is not a Microsoft problem… it is the game makers problem… Windows Edge uses new tech and stuff that I haven’t sorted out yet, but I have found that many of the games I like to play on facebook…. simply do not work with Windows Edge , so if you play facebook games you may want to keep what ever browser you are using.

HOWEVER!! having said that, let me tell you that other Game sites such as Steam or GOG work very very well with Windows Edge ( helps when game developers keep their programs current and up to date) so far it is just the games on facebook that do not seem to be compatible with the new Windows Edge browser , I even loaded my angry birds ( from the disk) and it played with no issues … Windows Edge is certainly going to become a major driving force behind all other Browser upgrades and builds… I have to admit with the wickedly good graphics that the windows edge browser has , Chrome and Fire Fox and others will be playing catch up very shortly …. even the look and feel and ease of use that Edge has makes my Chrome browser look tired and obsolete.

I haven’t figured out how to migrate my favorites list from Chrome over to Edge yet , but I will re read the how to guide and watch the how to videos again. Oh and Edge also asks if you wish to save your passwords ( as Chrome and many other browsers do)

I find it very hard to believe and even comprehend how a company ( Microsoft) can make the worlds sh!ttiest browser ( Explorer…. any version) for decades and then suddenly release a new browser that is NOTHING like Explorer and that pretty much blows the competition away .

Windows 10 also has a very beefed up firewall and unreal built in anti malware in the Edge which does NOT conflict with which ever anti virus program you are using… the Windows firewall and the Edge anti malware actually compliment your anti virus program quite nicely without any conflict or hiccups. ( I am an Avast user… I never had to re install it, Windows 10 migrated it over automatically as well as bringing all my none Microsoft programs and apps over when it installed . I never had to re install a single thing. and all the non Microsoft programs and apps work well and run smoothly with windows 10 !

Windows 10 also features an upgraded and advanced sound program…. just click your little speaker and the volume control is sideways instead of up and down… windows 10 actually auto configures your sound for optimum performance , and yes the speakers do sound better and clearer.

Windows 10 auto configures everything on your computer/laptop/tablet/phone for optimum performance , it is a hands free setup… just click install and let windows do the rest easy peasy lemon squeezy … and yes you can alter the settings manually, windows 10 is VERY user friendly.

as I stated , Windows 10 uses less than half the resources that ALL other previous windows versions use, that in itself speeds up your device , think of it as going from 100 miles an hour to warp factor 10 in the blink of an eye ! yes it IS that big of a difference!

so that’s my review for tonight… I’ll have more to say as I get more familiar with the new windows…. right now I have nothing bad to say about it, but I am looking for the flaws.

so Remember Folks : express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.
