But can you get rid of the logo on the start up screen..?I can't stand to look at it.
Or is it not on there anymore?

You mean that went upwards? you was always able to change it to whatever you want!
And now there is a rubbish logo underneath where you type the password in. But I will look to see if that can be changed... here is mine(as it is now and as it was all the time on windows 8/8.1)

Wow, that's an interesting collection of kit. Where did you find my old Spectrum?
It's OK for you experts, I still have to check how to switch it on, changing to 10 may be a task too far.
Using your fixed tariff to update other peoples PC's, accessing your info! Microsoft are going too far, relying on us thickies to let them in without our knowing.

No......not that. I have changed that, the screen where all the apps are displayed.
I spent a while with Windows 8.1 changing stuff......sorted out the privacy stuff.
But it still took me a long time to find my way about.
I suppose I could put the new Windows on my laptop and try to get used to it before putting it on my desk top(which I use much more).

)one of them.
I can't find a home page symbol on the task bar
Might need a resolution adjustment to make it fit your screen/monitor, i get similar when attaching laptop to TV.

My first love 30 years ago, I was 7 when I first owned a spectrum...oh the days of R:Tape Loading Erorr I bought it from some dude in Darwen off Gumtree.
Il do a blog post about it as not to hijack this thread so much
I am almost amazed they use your internet and your pc in this way. Not much different from freeware bundles containing bitcoin miners!
i dont know if they have reversed the decision as of yet because it dosnt effect me so i havnt checked but before teh launch of windows 10 there was a lot of complaining about when you upgrade to windows 10 your legitimate windows product key would be deactivated making it useless if you decided to revert back to windows 7 or 8
if this still stands and you want to revert back to win 7 or 8 check you can find alternative methods to activate your product before doing so

I've been at my brother in law's today. He updated to 10, can't access his e mails, his printer isn't connecting and he's got a message about that 'C' whatever it is not right.
He uses it for his business so it's a serious problem for him.
Oh joy!

He can go back what he had before.

I've just emailed him(he can still get e mails on his tablet). He's going to try it.
Thanks, gpick24, I'll let you know how he goes on.
In the meantime I'll leave well alone and stay with 8.1!

That makes good sense.
Let others work out the bugs, the gremlins(not you Russell, sit down
) the glitches.
We can join when they have all bee ironed out.

Could someone please enlighten me as to how Win10 is downloaded? I don't mean how you reserve a copy – I've done all that. What I mean is does it just trickle in quietly in the background like the regular updates or do they send you an address to get it from or whatever?
My reason for asking is very simple, unlike you lucky folks who obviouly have access to fibre, out here in the sticks my typical download speed is very slow about 150kbs. So something about the size of a DVD (which I guess it is) is liable to take upwards of a week.

I believe you get a notification through windows update.
A bit more info here - Windows 10 FAQs ? Microsoft
Or if you don`t get the notification, you can download it from here (or get someone with a better connection to do it) - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
It downloads and then tells you its ready to install. They are slowly rolling it out as to why you might not have had the notification yet
gpick24 and Restless many thanks, I'll keep sitting on my hands for a while and see what happens.
