| 1385369 | 2014-10-06 22:23:00 | Why not make an image first I know you would Wai but surely that should be the first thing everyone should do before trialling a beta OSYeah I would make an image esp if I was going to be wanting to put it back to original, :) The problem now is, as per post #62 hey wt, I installed it as an upgrade, it had windows 8 . 1 on it So the damage has already been done :( . Microsoft make it clear on the download site that once the preview is installed it cant be uninstalled . Making any recovery partitions useless according to MS . After you install Windows Technical Preview, you won’t be able to use the recovery partition on your PC to go back to your previous version of Windows . If you want to stop using Windows Technical Preview and return to your previous version of Windows, you'll need to reinstall your previous version from the recovery or installation media that came with your PC—typically a DVD . Currently all a image would be any good for is putting onto another HDD and recovering any data . I do the same thing Agent posted, use a different HDD, its easy (even on a laptop) and no fear of damaging the original OS . |

| 1385371 | 2014-10-07 03:19:00 | Just updated Win 10 Preview, after it has restarted, I found that the Start .> 'All Apps' is empty other than 'Documents'. All the Apps were there before that Windows update. How do I get it back? Was it a windows system update or a hardware update ? Theres only been two Windows updates as described under file information support2.microsoft.com Ones to do with Flash and the other is to do with update manager (by the looks if you expand out the + beside each KB number) |

| 1385372 | 2014-10-07 04:51:00 | It's hardware -and old Microsoft mouse driver update. Anyway, after a couple of restarts, it's back to normal. |

| 1385373 | 2014-10-07 05:08:00 | Sweet :) more than likely a "bug" in the system, which is to be expected being a Tech Preview version. May be the same sort of thing as my laptop deciding to fill the screen with "This PC" Icons when first installed. You'll find the problem may have been sent to Microsoft automatically even though you may not have sent a problem report-- Wonder how many people actually read the Terms of use, that the OS can send any data or actions you may do. :eek: windows.microsoft.com (other wise you can always send a problem report Via the link on the desktop) |

| 1385375 | 2014-10-07 08:28:00 | My problem with it is that for me, a desktop (or laptop) computer is all about multi-tasking, whereas Metro and Metro programs with their full screen interface and hidden menus is quite the opposite . Sure you could use it just for a menu, while running all your programs on the normal desktop, but then you have to put up with switching constantly between two very different UI styles and functions . It's bizarre . That's what I do and I love it, its not bizarre Full screen app launcher, mostly using desktop apps unless I'm out and about on the road using touch or on the couch with tablet . Same as simple users like my mum . For her its bizarre to hunt and peck thru fly out hierarchal menus to start apps, play digital media etc . See the dichotomy |
