Joy!!

What a load of shite W10 is.... and I am about to jump into the cesspool, as my W7 PC is now "out of date"...

The Chromebook is so much easier.

I believe mine gives the option of either a password or a pin (which I don't know) I only discovered this after spending 10minutes cursing my children who had been messing with it when my password wouldn't work and then noticed it was asking for a PIN not a password... there is something on the screen you can click to switch back to password....

I held off as long as I could but having been using 10 for a while I now find it much faster and more stable than any windows before it.

Oh I know it works... it's more the constant ballache of the dodgy updates!

If you go to the advance options of W10 update, you can set it up to delay feature updates. I have all my machines set to delay feature updates for 6 months and keep bang up to date on security. This buys me 6 months time to allow bugs in new updates to get ironed out.

Type netplwiz into the search box
You can even tick the box to say 'don't use a password'

Windows 10 feels a like more lightweight than Windows 7. Certainly looks out for itself more and is easier to the novice or occasional user I would say
