Its not uncommon for the updates, depending on your internet speed, Computer specs to take an hour or more.

On saying that -- A fresh install is ALWAYS better than a upgrade.

This seems to have been the problem. We have fibre 100 Mbps, but rebooting another 2 or 3 times prompted an update that totally changed the desktop appearance.

Now File Explorer works OK which is good news - but Microsoft Office 2010 which worked fine on Win7 and the first use of Win10 (two hours ago) no longer is there - no big deal as I have the DVD (or CD) so I will just install it again.

waonuitech - how do I manually update Win10?

[edit: found it - says no updates are available but I set it to look for updates anyway.]

The laptop is working OK now on the new Win10 installation.

Thanks to everyone who helped me solve the problem. :thumbs:

1423463 2016-07-27 10:34:00 Oh dear :S Just wanted to say I've had my service done With Servicing Stop (http://servicingstopblog.co.uk) and they are really good! They picked my car up from mine on time, took my car to a local garage, called me up to confirm anything that needed doing and dropped my car back off to mine, all within the time they said! Quick and easy, would recommend to anyone who has a busy life or just in general! bendivter1 (17487)
