Use of laptop computer for the first time: when updating Windows 10?

Just got the Inspiron 5000 15 (Intel (R) series - 5558 I ordered. It comes with Windows pre-installed 8.1, I understand.
Preparing for first use and installation of stuff, I was wondering if I should switch to Win 10 straight away or after first setting up Windows 8.1?

Thank you, your [Admin, name kidnapped by TOU political note]

Hi Tkoenraad,

You will need to set up the 8.1 before you do anything else. Personally, I'd wait a few months for Microsoft and all manufacturers of computers to find bugs. Any new operating system takes a while to straightened. Here is some information to read before moving to 10 Windows.

MAKE SURE YOU DO A RECOVERY OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM DISC, AFTER YOU SET UP WINDOWS 8.1.

    Step 1.  Identify the make and model of the USB device.
    Step 2: Identify the version of Windows XP you have, including service pack (start > run > winver > OK)

    Although the following steps 1 & 2 you could get extra help, I suspect that the 'USB device' has indeed "defective" and you have to go back to where you got it and request a refund or a replacement.

  • Mouse and UI Lag, be ground immediately after turning on the computer for the first time.

    Hello

    I started using Windows 7 yesterday for the first time after using Windows XP since its release.  A couple of things, first off I noticed lag and be ground everywhere instead travel windows autour mouse, move the mouse on the screen, etc.  It will just freeze and jump around, is not no good whatsoever.  I have a wireless optical mouse Logitech, maybe this has something to do with it, because I tried to install the software for the mouse, and I got a weird error and something not to be in the right place (very annoying).  Nobody knows why, I'll have this lag?  It's really annoying and never happened in Windows XP.  Any ideas on how to possibly resolve this problem?  Thank you very much.

    Try to use another mouse, or by downloading the new firmware drivers/mouse from Logitech for your current mouse.  Have you noticed the behavior if you start in safe mode?  Or if you perform a clean boot?

  • Problems to open a project on a Windows 10 computer for the first time

    I use RoboHelp 11.0.4.291 and you have a project open on a computer Windows 10. It is the first time I opened the project on Windows 10 and now I'm not able to work on the project for 2 reasons.

    (1) double click on the will of the subjects does not open the design/HTML editor.  Right click and selecting change theme also do nothing.  However, if I click on the overview section I can view it.  This I cannot edit the subjects at all well.

    (1) the style and formatting of pod is grayed out, outside, in the view > > Pods menu so I can't open it.  The project is not read only, so I don't know what the problem is.

    Help would be very appreciated.  Thank you!

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-ab083T: laptop upgraded before even starting for the first time = problem?

    Hello!

    I recently bought this laptop with the intention to replace the hard drive (1 TB HDD 120 GB SSD), as well as upgrading the ram from 8 GB to 16 GB. The problem is that I have improved these things before you start for the first time. And now it complains that it cannot find a device boot, even when I insert a USB key with windows 10 iso on it. Or a cd with windows XP. He needs to have the HDD windows 8.1 original in it on first commissioning? It took a while to replace parts...

    Thanks in advance.

    That's very true, I used gparted before checking this again, and it was corrupted. Very well! I ended up installing windows 10 home using a free student license. It's perfect, since I have windows 8.1 before running on the 1 TB hard drive and it was filled with bloatware, thanks to HP (no offense). So, it is nice to have a clean install. Everything works fine now, I had to change some settings of 'Legacy Boot' in the bios to boot from the USB.

  • charge battery for the first time and the best practices for maintaining the life of the new PC laptop battery

    Received my first laptop as a gift today (Pavilion touchsmart 15-n287cl).  You need to know 1.  How long to charge it for the first time or first several times; 2 do you need to unload and reload between each use completely and how long should it take to charge an average before being used again.  3. Since no instructions is a good idea to leave it plugged when you use all the time or the battery should be removed to improve the conservation of life?

    Thank you in advance, it has taken a lot of time to migrate from the desktop.  Want it to be a positive experience.

    Hello

    Modern batteries and chargers are now smarter than you.

    1. you can plugin and immediately to use the machine, the machine will stop charge when the battery is fully charged.

    2. No, we don't need to unload completely between uses, then as above. The recommendation is sometimes we run machine on battery until that up to 10%.

    3. when using AC is a way to protect the unit during the failure of current, all of a sudden, leaving battery on laptop.

  • ICloud using photo library for the first time

    I am considering switching to iCloud photo library for the first time - mainly so I'll be able to use the new functionality of memories in iOS 10. However, I have quite a large library of Photos on my Mac and I'm worried about the mistakes of synchronization, bugs and any damage my irreplaceable photos. I have a Time Machine backup, but each backup on which generally only lasts a week or so, and with a large library of errors can take some time to appear. Should I be worried? Are there precautions I need to take?

    In view of all the people who use it, there are very few messages on issues. Since you have a backup, you can still recover. You can consider to get a 2nd external and make a copy of your photo library in order to have 2 backups. Depending on the size of your library, you may need to purchase additional iCloud storage as free storage space is 5 GB. With a large number of photos, it will take much time to complete the synchronization. Some people have posted their s took 2 to 4 weeks. Our respective synchronization went well and we had no problem.
