Windows 10: The Story So Far

So, yesterday I had to restart twice before I could get an Internet connection stable enough for me to send an e-mail. This morning, it won't load Spider Solitaire and has knocked out my Dolby,* so I can't play any music (both of which are absolute necessities when I'm online).

So far, Windows 10 is slow, unreliable, sloppy, unreliable, balky, and a pain in the fundament: this may come as a surprise to real computer nerds, but I don't want to spend my mornings futzing with my operating system. I want it to be quiet, unobtrusive, fast, and reliable.

So far, Windows 10 is none of the above. Back to 8.1.

* It keeps telling me I need to re-install the driver, but doesn't give me any way to do it.
