(a) A while ago I spoke with my ASUS Tech Support person on the phone to ask if my EEE PC is upgradeable to Windows 10. He said NO.The PC is a few years old, works well, except for some recent minor technical issues, including not being able to complete a full ISO backup, although I can do a Windows Easy Transfer. 2Gb RAM, 250Gb Seagate ordinary HD. Apps I use are Lr3.6, Adobe AcrobatDC, Adobe Digital Editions 3, Picasa, Light Artist, GIMP2, OpenOffice the latest, IE11.0.9600, Firefox latest (which has been having problems for a while now for some reason; I think they may want me to upgrade to Chrome), Zune, IrfanView 4.28, Trend MicroAntivirus+. And, of course, the preinstalled apps, such as Disk Cleanup etc, although most have been removed. I don't use Windows Defender.Yet, tonight, I get the Free Win10 upgrade notification telling me my computer is all ready to go!!
No problems with devices or apps.Who should I believe?No, I was not a Windows 10 Preview tester.I want to keep my Win7Starter machine until it crashes, and then I would install a new Seagate HD 250Gb. Photography is mostly what I use it for, and uploading to and using various online image/product selling sites. I don't really need all the whizbangstuff, eg Xbox Skype etc. I'm a simple person.Since speaking with the ASUS techie, I've been looking at the Microsoft Store to find Win10 PCs I could be interested in purchasing.I am interested in the ASUS Signature Edition versions, as well as the Surface 3, probably a Pro version to get the HD Gb storage.My biggest concern with these new machines is the high-gloss monitor - I wear spectacles and have always had difficulty looking 'through' such high reflective surfaces, whether on a framed picture or on PCs. It is exhausting for the eye. I am surprisedthat the PC manufacturers would even consider using such high reflective surfaces for this reason and am very disappointed with the product offerings as a result. I think it should still be possible to make a machine with the LCD screen, hardened somehow tobe usable as a touch machine.
Install Windows 8 On Eee Pc 701 Windows 10
Yes, my ASUS EEE PC has a non-reflective LCD surface.(b) Once one has made the Upgrade Reservation, what is the process before installing?Will Microsoft tell me all the things I need to do to get my machine ready, in plenty of time before downloading?Especially as the OS download size is 3Gb - LOL - my current monthly bandwidth allowance!! (I'll have to increase it in time for the download.)(c) I presume if I do install a new internal HD when my PC crashes eventually, that I can re-download the OS and/or have it installed by the ASUS techie, as a freebie still?(d) Elsewhere, Andre da Costa advises that any antivirus program should beuninstalled completely. I don't agree with that advice, as the Microsoft notification scan has shown that there are no issues with any of the apps installed on my machine. It should just upgrade over all that.
Debian For Asus Eee Pc
I would, however, exit the programand also disable some of the Startup programs. In my view, that should be enough, other than what Microsoft tell me themselves, referred to in my question part (b) above.Any thoughts, please?:O).
