Windows to Windows
Thursday, September 8, 2016 by kona0197 | Discussion: Personal Computing
So I got a good deal on a notebook at a local pawn shop. Using it now. The shop had upgraded it to Windows 10. When I got it home I did a complete factory reset and that reinstalled Windows 8.1. Now since the free upgrade to 10 is over with, does anyone know if I can go back to 10 for free somehow?

Well it's not exactly so slow that I can't get any work done, it's just slower than my old quad care pentium setup. And this dual core CPU is newer. 4 is better than 2. Go figure.

jafo did say the update this summer slowed one (more?) of his machines down. i'm assuming the w10 you grabbed would be the one with the update.. so maybe that's the reason?
