Default Windows 10. Horrible!

Wow!Â* Didn't know it had so many issues!Â* Made a horrific mess of

computer screen, so it's smaller.Â* I'm sure there is a way around it,

I have two , secondary use machines that I've upgrade to Win10, both
work fine.


My wife is the one who does the real, photo-processing work and I'm
keeping it at Win7. It works perfectly and I do not want to take a
chance with that machine.

My Win 10 machine works fine with Photoshop CC, Corel Painter 17, and a
slew of PS plugins. My younger daughter, who is a heavy graphics user,
(creative director,) uses Win 10. It works fine with the entire CC
suite. She had her choice of machines and decided on Win 10. In the
interest of fairness, may main machine is Win 7.



I'm a Linux user and GIMP is the photo editor I use.

It has a lot of features but really I don't do much with my images.


When I do want a print though I give it to my wife...
she will use Photoshop and is a lot better at that than I am.


I build and repair the computers and she is the one to actually use them.


She relies heavily on her Wacom tablet . It's an older one and they do
not have Win10 drivers. I did try it on my own Win10 machine and it
functions but probably does not have all the features she needs.

If her tablet someday dies, then we will look at upgrading the machine
to Win10
