RedJ - you need to ensure you have installed all the Windows Updates. If you have windows update not set to "automatic updates" then you could have a few outstanding. The W10 logo should then appear down in the tooltray (bottom right near the clock). You could try clicking the little up arrow near there if there is one - it could just be the W10 app notification is in the hidden list.
Give Windows the heave ho, and install a Linux system.Best one for you depends on how old your computer is. Lots to choose from, but best to stick to something which has lots of users/support.Ubuntu and Linux Mint are popular with many, Lubuntu and Linux Lite if you have an older PC.You can install them alongside your current Windows, if you want to keep your old system as well.Go to Distrowatch.com, which contains reviews and links. 1Download the choice as an iso file, then burn it to a blank CD or DVD.2Insert the CD/DVD, and boot into it from your Bios. Magic key on mine is F2 when the screen first loads.3Follow the instructions when it loads.Simple enough really. Linux does not really get malware like Windows does, it is much more secure to use.http://www.wikihow.com/Install-LinuxIts FREE as well. You can add various bells and whistles to suit, but don't need to have stuff on there you never use. Its like putting apps on a mobile.
Still not having it. There's obviously something I've not done but Christ knows what.
Generally yes, only problem I've got is that it doesn't recognise my trackpad driver unless I uninstall it then re-start, then it's fine until W10 installs another update and I have to go through the process all over again.Hopefully at some point they'll fix this glitch.
There is a "How To" guide here, for those still having trouble;How to Install Windows 10 on Your PCSomeone told me they wanted you to pay extra to watch DVD's, which is cheeky if it is true. I bet they have found a way to enter your wallet by the backdoor.
