My Upgrade to Windows 10 (Updated)

Yesterday I upgraded to Windows 10. The upgrade itself was rather easy and took little over an hour.

All my personal files (pictures and documents) were left undisturbed, but most of my additional tools like Adobe Reader, AVG TuneUp, Chrome, Firestorm, GeForce Experience, Kaspersky Total Security, iTunes, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Skype and Quicktime were lost. This was possibly due to those apps being set to a different language (American English) than my computer is (Swedish), it could also be because they weren't - and still aren't (as I found out when I tried to reinstall some of them again (Kaspersky and GeForce Experience) - compatible with Windows 10.

My biggest concern initially was the loss of all my browser bookmarks, however they all miraculously returned to me today, once I had logged into my Google account. With the returning bookmarks I also got all my saved passwords in Chrome back.

I have reinstalled AVG TuneUp, Firestorm, iTunes and Skype, but - as I said above - Kaspersky (solved) and GeForce Experience (solved) don't seem to be compatible with the platform yet.

The only problem I have right now, is that my SLT time app on the blog isn't working in Chrome but is OK in Microsoft Edge... (solved)

Glory hallelujah!

Chrome Takes the Lead

Graph from Statscounter)

Chrome is now the most used browser in the world, thereby breaking the dominant position that Internet Explorer has held in the marketplace for decades.

I am not surprised, I love my Chrome browser. There is only one thing about it that infuriates me and that is the built-in Flash Player application which keeps on stalling.

Google Chrome Saves My Weekend

 

As some of you may remember I started having problems with my Mozilla Firefox browser after trying to download version 6.

I tried uninstalling, cleaning up and re-installing Firefox about a hundred and umpteen times. The problems kept recurring sooner or later.

Following my mate Eddi Haskell´s advice I have know migrated to Google Chrome, and let me tell you it is really fast and bloody
E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T!

Somehow it even miraculously recovered all the bookmarks I thought had been lost, which saves me a lot of time and troubles.
