They've apparently completely abandoned support for floppy drive even though the files are in the windows folders. Not a big deal at all.
C1: Therefore is letter "A" now the OS default (vice "C")?
Underclocked: No, It is still "C".
If MS has indeed abandoned floppy, then drive letters "A" & "B" (which traditionally have been reserved) should be made available for assignment.
Can someone verify MS implementation in this area (ie, drive letter availability/reallocation).
So I actually got pretty lucky and found a discarded HP DV7 laptop, even better since I was in need of a decent laptop anyway. No memory or hard drive in it but I have plenty of that stuff so stuck it in and off to the races. It originally came with windows vista so instead of wasting a 7 license on it just yet decided to put the 10 preview on. It installed well but once I plugged in the ethernet connection it slowed to an absolute crawl. Each time I tried clicking on something it would take 30 seconds to a minute to register. Very, very painful process to get it to go through windows update to get the graphics driver and switch over to a microsoft account. Once all the updates were done and the system restarted it was faster, but not perfect. Third reboot and things seem to be working properly now - very slick, snappy interface.
It seems like a waste of time to change defaulting from C: to A:. It seems to me that the only point of doing this is to attempt to break programs built with dodgy programming practices, which isn't really a direct benefit to the end user ("great, my discontinued app from a now non-existent developer won't work on Windows Whatever"), as programmers who engage in dodgy coding practices will find a hundred other ways to do their job badly.
I have seemed to always have issues when I install on HP products. I don't understand it myself. My most recent issue was with Win8 on a HP laptop, made the laptop run hot, fan was on high all the time and a lot of compatibility issues.
To be fair Win8 made my Dell laptop fan to completely stop. I had actually confirmed this with other laptops and a reinstall of Win7 had corrected it.
*I think the HP laptop I had issues with Win8 was actually a DV7.
RampantAndroid, you are missing the point. If I may, Denis280 is referring to points similar to what I mentioned above, not that applications do not all work on a beta OS, which is expected.
I've had a lot of driver issues with HP stuff, where only the driver on the HP site seems to work well and the driver from the original hardware vendor can cause problems, specifically on HP video cards/onboard video and motherboard drivers. Who knows?
Now that everything has been updated the system has actually been running pretty nice. Kinda surprised someone threw this away, although more than likely was riddled with viruses. The battery even holds a decent charge, not great, but then again it is a 17" laptop.
At the time I tried Win8 on that HP, about a year ago, the HP website even said that they didn't support Win8 (at that time). I had heard that HP & MS has business related issues, and that's what I chalked it up to and reverted to Win7. The laptop did originally come with Vista, and I really think that it was a DV7.
Just a heads up, I guess, in case you would for whatever reason try installing Win8 on it.
Good to hear that Win10TP runs good on it. Did you have to d/l HP drivers for it?
...It's a preview build, not a beta. ...
A preview is part of the beta process, unless you can show me when Microsoft is explicitly saying that is an out-of-the-ordinary case.
Microsoft has announced that it will be launching Windows 10 "later in the year" in 2015.
I agree with you. The end product could and prob will be way different.Guys I think you are debating over moot points,fact is "preview build" IMHO is like a light beta version with things/missing,bugs etc just to show users of things to come.
Final version will be quite a few builds down the road with obviously things added/tweaked and polished.
End of the day it's far from final and to be treated as such regardless of if it's stable or not,final build will be different in some areas with features added etc...
Remember how many release candidates we had let alone early betas etc for Win8 and Win7,Win10 will be no different.
This is the nice way to put it Mem.Remember how many release candidates we had let alone early betas etc for Win8 and Win7,Win10 will be no different.
See still Crap to me.so farIt's a chance for enterprises and developers to get a chance to look at the changes there. Trying to pass judgement on an OS that is far from done and still being actively worked on from a feature perspective is incredibly short sighted.
