Re: Windows 7 to Windows 10
Jeremy <icu8it2@...>
It's kind of hard to say. I really think it depends on how happy you are with 7 and weather or not you want to continue with some of the issues that people have had there, issues with windows update and alike.

I used windows7 for a number of years and really grew to love it and have really thought about restoring my image, but windows10 really isn't all that bad either. I do really like a number of things about 10, things that are made much easier, such as the windows registration process, hardware detection and pulling down the necessary drivers, native support for bluetooth, etc. I'd note though that most of my experience with 10, the applications I use and how I use them, makes things really similar to how things worked for me in 7, so it hasn't been a major change really. For those who play around with the built in applications and some of the new features of 10, things may be different. I'm not sure what the status is on getting 10 for free, but if you can still download and install it, I'd at least recommend playing around with it to see if you like it. It's easy enough to make an image of both 7 and 10 and change back, if you don't care for it. Dong so leaves you with the ability to change back to 10 at a later date and it'd still be registered, if I understand things correctly. Hope this helps. Take care.

Hi Joe,

Know where you are coming from, I resisted the temptation of moving from Win 7 to Win 10, but have recently taken the plunge. It takes a little bit of getting used to and an awful lot of reconfiguring to get it to stop nagging about apps you really don't want, but overall it isn't that bad really. However, one small piece of advice I would pass on is that even if you don't like it and continue with Win 7, it is worthwhile initially upgrading so that you can take advantage of the 'free' option should you want to move over later. Just upgrade and your PC will be registered and then you can 'roll back' to Win 7 within the 10 day grace period from the upgrade (used to be 31 days, but this appears to have been reduced to 10). John.

Virtual Recorder updated to version 1.2
Carlos
I have updated Virtual Recorder to version
1.2. Not much is new, but I added the ability to disable system
sounds while recording which I think is a nice feature. It is a
checkbox in the main window who's state is retained between sessions.
I have not had the opportunity to thoroughly test this feature under
all conditions or even in all versions of Windows, but it seems to
work fine for me in both 7 and 10. The link to the download page
is below. Of course, thanks to Rob Hudson for hosting as
usual.

Re: getting a copy of windows 10 on dvd

Hi Carlos,

Perhaps I should introduce myself first, my name is John Gregory and I am a new member. Totally blind and find the information on this forum fascinating. Keep up the good work, it is invaluable! Now to the reason I am butting in on this thread between yourself and Adrian, you are perfectly correct that Win 10 will automatically activate a clean install following an upgrade, but when clean installing, there is an option which needs to be clicked on at the 'Product Key' dialogue (excuse my spelling, am in the UK). This is the "I do not have a product key" link. The explanation below this states that "If you are reinstalling the software there is no need to input a product key and Windows 10 will automatically activate once the install is complete. Once again, apologies for butting in, but I only noticed this option the other day when reinstalling Windows 10 and trying to input my old Win 7 key. Regards. John.

Re: VLT media player question
Pamela Dominguez
But okay, for the answer to your question. What I do is, I don't go into the folder. I put my arrow on the folder of songs, and hit the applications key, or context key, whichever you call it, and arrow down to "play with VLC mediaplayer" and hit enter. Pam.

Re: VLT media player question

Just to let you know. The third letter of the name of that media player is a c. It's VLC. Just in case you have to type the name to download it again and you will wonder why it says something like "file not found", or something. Pam.

Re: New MacBook Pro starts at $1,499, some models available today
enes sarıbaş
completely agree with you Gene. Take my example for example. The
entry level macbook, without the touch bar, costs around 5500
turkish liras. With that money, you could buy two performance
class notebooks. I am not exaggerating. Or, you could buy a very
high end ultrabook with a 512 gb PCE ssd.
