WIndows 10

Today's exercise in technology was the installation of Windows 10 on my laptop - just as well I upgraded our download limit as to get it sorted out I had to download a heap of stuff, and not just Windows 10.

It all seems to be working OK, though I haven't tested everything yet. There are some minor problems that I haven't looked into fixing so far:

• I've lost access to the USB drive in the scanner. In fact I can't see the printer in my network drives at all. I can still print stuff, just can't get stuff from the scanner.
• Partially fixed - see the Scanner entry on 18/11/15.
• There's some strange interaction between USB drives and my wireless mouse. The mouse doesn't work when I insert a USB drive, but it starts working again as soon as I remove the USB drive.
• 14/11/15 - fixed, well not really. Nothing to do with Windows 10. It seems there is a known problem with the Logitec cordless mouse and USB 3.0 devices interfering with each other. This was the first time I noticed it as I normally don't use the mouse and most of my USB drives are USB 2.0. This was the first time I'd plugged a USB 3.0 drive into the USB port next to the mouse receiver while using the mouse. The mouse works if I plug a USB 2.0 drive in next to the receiver and if I plug a USB 3.0 drive into a port on the opposite side of the system to the receiver.
• There are occasional things left on the screen when I start doing things much too quickly. I think this is because I'm not using the right video driver. I had a lot of trouble sorting out which drivers and versions I should be using.

Apart from that it's all OK. I'm not sure I like the look of Windows 10. It all feels a bit like it's still a work in progress.
