Hi all,
I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 a few days ago, everything appeared ok until this afternoon, I inserted my camera SD card in the computer and nothing happened. Tried connecting the camera via the USB cable and still nothing. Tried other cards, same result.
Assistance will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Geoff.

Good morning,
Also found it won't play DVD's so took on board comment by neksmerj "If it ain't broke don't fix it" and uninstalled 10 and back to good old 7.
Happy again.
Cheers,
Geoff.

Microsoft's mid~ to long term agenda here is to turn Windows into a subscription OS, i.e. you rent it and they upload to your machine whatever they want via update (which you can already not turn off on Windows 10). That's at the root of the 'free give-away'. At this point they are generating some revenue by making things that used to be included a paid extra, for instance DVD and Blue-Ray support. I've posted up-thread about the whole spyware and taking-over-your-computer bit. Some might call me a conspiracy crack-pot on this, but I've only come to that realization after installing Win 10 myself, and then doing research on reputable tech sites. I uninstalled Windows 10 from my testbed machine. I then found out just how insiduous it can be (it constantly tried to reinstall itself ever after whenever I ran windows update after the uninstall). I have no missionary zeal - I know people will shrug and say 'so what, it runs fine on my machine'. Ok, fine.
I will not go to Windows 10 in its current form. If Windows 8.1 is still available when I build the next computer I will use that, and/or I will install Linux Mint. I just regret that I'll probably loose photoshop elements in the process. Everything else is covered.

There are a lot of tinfoil hat theories floating around in internet land with no actual proof of anything and it is all mostly click bait from what I can see. My record of WIN 10 is now two successful installs with no problems and one on an old Dell laptop that no sound drivers are available for so it went back to 7. I haven't had any problems with the Dell since and no unsolicited attempts to re-install 10. Pop ups to re-install are not the OS trying to re-install but I did get rid of the pop ups by deleting the file that caused them. It will be interesting in the next few years to see if MS actually go the subscription route but that won't be a problem as there are other OS's out there.

I installed Windows 10 on a blank drive and I have had a lot of trouble but that was not a recommended way of doing it so I guess it's my fault.
I'm going to re-install 8 and then upgrade to see how that goes, sadly since the NBN has become available here my ADSL speed has halved so it will take a while to update 8 then DL 10
