I also upgraded to windows 10
single language on my lenovo z5070 ideapad laptop. Firstly it was around 2713.8
MB. I downloaded it using cellular network. I was actually not in a mood to
upgrade but windows 10 downloaded itself in background. Firstly i checked the
internet usage and it was very fast and to my surprise window was downloaded
around 25%. Then i decide to download it. When i recharged again I downloaded
50%. So my point is that it downloaded in intervals. Afterthe complete download
friday the 7th august. It popped up and said to upgrade. I followed the
onscreen steps and it started installing.
During
installation process. there was a black screen with boldly written UPGRADING TO
WINDOWS 10, followed by Your computer will restart several times so sit back
and relax. It was a combination of three steps that highlighted one by one at
the bottom of screen with a round ring showing the status as the Percentage in
the center of screen. The first was copying files. The second was Installing
Drivers etc. and the third was configuring settings.
After
that came the, new welcome screen, with new background. I logged in.
After
that, it was written that we're setting things up for you. This won't take
long.
Taking
care of a few things. Setting up your apps.
Just a
few more tweaks. Don't turn off your PC.
It's
taking a bit longer than usual, but it should be ready soon.
Let's
Start.
After
that came before me a new desktop. New Interface. Although the file explorer
and Start menu didn't work for the first time but other thinks were just okay.
There were hangs in the notification area. A new kind of notification area was
there. The time and Date was shown differently in a box having a nice
interface. The volume rocker was horizontal rathr than vertical with Conexant
HD Audio written and the horizontal slider.
After
i shut down and start again my PC, start menu begin to work.
Also I
checked the C: Drive. There was a folder named Windows old in which there were
empty folders. Felt like files were copied into the new window. The things open
quite fast in new window but were like "NOT READY TO BE USED". The
windows 10 is not to be used this soon.
Following
are the problems I faced :
1.No
Option to put PC on sleep. There was only hibernate, Do nothing, Shut down and
restart.
2. We
cannot adjust screen brightness using the buttons provided on the laptop as
well as there is no option for the same inside the settings.
3. The
Battery backup worsened. With 100% charged i was able to use my laptop for only
100 minutes or less.(Checked atleast 5 times)
4. No
Dolby Digital Plus working. It was installed in the programs in Control Panel
but was not available in apps and was unable to search it.
5.
Videos hanged in the Video player provided with the windows 10. Also they were
hanging in Cyberlink Power DVD for lenovo Idea which worked perfectly fine
before. HD videos also were grainy.
6.
Music Worked fine.
7.
Cortana doesn't work in my region. The only major advancement was not available
which made the whole idea of upgrade worthless.
8.
Microsoft Edge, I must say was good. But without the above drawbacks i don't
think anyone will love to have it.
9. The
Other HD Wallpapers that worked well in windows 8.1 do not fit to the whole
screen except those provided with the windows 10.
10.
Slow startup and shut down.
Afer
these problems I faced yesterday 08 august a problem saying.
Critical
Error. Start menu and Cortana Doesn't work. We'll try to solve the
problem next time you login.
I
logged out and logged in again a number of times but the problem persisted.
Today
09 august, I somehow managed to do these:
I
connected to the internet using my dongle.
I
pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the task manager.
In the
File menu>Run new task>Control Panel but it didn't help.
then i
started firefox which didn't start at first nut when i clicked 2,3 times at the
taskbar worked.
I read
all the opinions on the page and tried to start again using F8 hoping to get
safemode which didnot happen.
The
next time I "RESTARTED" the PC and the problem was gone.
To
Restart First Logot that on login screen use restart
After
restart i opened settings>Recovery and update and started the process of
going back to previous version of windows and it was successful.
I am
now happy to get my windows 8.1 back.
