Another excellent option if you like the Windows appearance & low system resource use is Linux Lite http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=lite
I'm not a techy so this might seem like a really stupid ****ing question but can you have both Windows and Linux running on the same laptop?
Yes you can either set up a dual boot or with puppy run it within Windows from a flash drive or DVD.....in fact most linux distros can be run from a DVD without installing on your PC/Laptop....a good idea before going the dual boot route....see if you like it first http://www.bytelinux.com/install-linux-mint-17-1-dual-boot-windows-10-uefi-systems/ http://www.howtogeek.com/214571/how-to-dual-boot-linux-on-your-pc/
What irritates me is that when I use Windows Update they automatically tick to update to Windows 10 yet it's hidden away in optional updates.
Windows 10 now downloaded, laptop is about 2 weeks old and now takes longer to start up than my ****ty banged up 4 year old laptop I replaced it with. Not so impressed thus far
Sorry Dad isn't here to ask but this might help http://www.puppylinux.com/flash-puppy.htm http://puppylinux.org/wikka/BootFlash
Read paper other day that said windows 10 takes pics from your saved pics and makes a screen saver from them
Someones wife came down one morning to find hubbys porn collection scrolling across screen he posted on facebook to alert others.
****ing bastard windows 10 update restarted laptop and took near 15 mins to update midway through 1st half of Fulham match, missed Elmo's goal and got bollocked by my mum and my wife for swearing at my laptop for the full 15 mins. ****ing windows 10!
Yeah I read it last year. Excellent how it portrays the company that subverts the usual standards of privacy and personal identity that people have accepted for most of their lives. Some of the slogans - 'Secrets are Lies', 'Privacy is Theft' and 'Caring is Sharing'. Symbolic of the creeping capture of most of our personal identities. Needless to say, I have not upgraded to Windows 10 and I will not do until most of the bugs and glitches have been eradicated.
Just dragging this back up as I've just got round to looking at it & my VAIO is telling me I can't update it until October/November depending on my system. As it's originally on Windows 8, which I like, but has been updated to 8.1.
