Although
the overall upgrade to Windows 10 is automatic and should be hassle-free, but
sometimes people who download it, there may be different issues and
difficulties. "Times" has decided to consider, what surprises may push
to update and upgrade the system.
Windows
10 is designed to combine all the devices into a single user Windows ecosystem,
and will be the first major product of the company, which will be updated for
free. Due to the mass update Microsoft expects a large influx of users. Thus,
the company reserved channel for transmission of data TB 40 / sec. But on July
28, when some users were sent to the installation files of the system, the load
on the channel exceeded 10 TB / sec. At the same time, the load on the
communication channels Apple during updates is not more than 8 Tb / s. As a
result of such high load, according to experts, can lead to a slight drop in
the rate of the entire internet for about a week.
This
is due to the fact that Windows 10 is loaded on a huge number of devices with
the features and modifications.
Although
Microsoft will ensure that during the upgrade should have no problem with the
transfer of all settings and user data, the most valuable before updating is
better to move to a different system partition or just keep the stick. Settings
are also better stored in a backup, in the event of an unexpected error in the
update not to lose the most valuable.
Because
of the large number of variations can update devices not come at once: the
system does not download, if any component of the computer has not yet finished
the driver, even if the component is completely fit the required parameters?
In
some cases, users will need to wait until the developers did not prepare the
driver, for example, certain models of video cards.
When
you try to manually update the system folder $ windows ~, which is located on
the system partition, users can also encounter an error. This is due to the
fact that the files in this folder are for automatic tool updates, and launch
user file Setup exe, which is located in the same folder, do not update your
system. This is due to the fact that when you install Windows will need
reheating some elements from the servers by Microsoft, and it happens literally
in a queue. This setting can also be an attempt to turn this around.
For
manual installation of Windows 10 you need to use a special utility from
Microsoft, which is on the official website of the download page.
The
utility can both install the update on your computer, and create a boot able USB
flash drive or DVD-ROM for installation on another computer.
Furthermore,
depending on the device system would need 10 to 13 GB for update. And even if
you download the package manually, you will need to check the free space on the
disk, because the installation files unpacking and reloading the necessary
elements from the Internet.
Products
with a maximum storage capacity of 32 GB, such as tablets and some budget PCs,
Microsoft has released a special version of the program update, which will be
available after August 4.
In Windows 10 will be installed automatic updates.
In
other words, from now on user confirmation for downloading Windows updates will
not ask. This is done to ensure that the operating system has always been
relevant and most secure. However, such a system may result in updates to the
new version may have errors associated specifically with your device and
hardware configuration. In some cases, the user may not even realize that his
new driver was installed, and because of it the computer starts to behave
erratically.
To
avoid this, Microsoft introduced a rollback capability per update, but in some
cases this may be insufficient for proper system operation resumption.
With
this problem already faced some users with Nvidia graphics cards and multiple
monitors. Video card driver has a bug which causes the flicker when working
with multiple monitors, as well as system crashes when using multiple graphics
cards.
To
resolve this problem, users are falling back to a previous version of the
driver, but Windows Update Service always sets the "current" update
and thus returns an error.
Immediately
after installing Windows 10 users can wait a few more updates, the so-called
"updates the first day, "in which corrected errors detected at the
last moment. One of these will be a patch to devices based on processors Intel,
which, as it turned out in the last test version, may have increased power
consumption.
In
addition, the first time Windows 10 will not work as fast as it should be: the
first time the system will be to index the contents of hard drives. In the
first minutes after the first run of the system, it will still continue to
configure, so its performance will also be low.
If
users still face insurmountable problems, Microsoft has provided a program to
return to the previous system installed, but only for one month after
installation. At the end of the month license for Windows 7/8 / 8.1 finally
become a license for Windows 10.
