A rant: I had created a backup image of my previous install of Windows 10 - Installed Win 10 Anniversary and its a total mess! Unstable, Crashes constantly - and this after 4 clean installs and 16 hours of troubleshooting. I haven't' seen this kind of mess since the days of WinME and Vista. And to top it al off, Anniversary deleted the partition I had the backup image stored on (A dedicated HD Partition just for this kind of thing)! And the deletion of users backup partitions is a known issue for many users from what I've been reading online so now I'm left with an almost unusable desktop computer running Win 10 Anniversary.
Should I revert back to Windows 8.1 which was rock solid (as was the first Win 10 release). Since Microsoft in their infinite wisdom made my known working backup copy of Windows 10 and all apps go away, This seems about my only recourse - and of course it was a forced upgrade (I'm running Win 10 Home) and it installed during the night as I had forgotten to turn off my computer before going to bed night before last.
This has prompted me to seriously consider ditching Windows for good and moving to a MAC as much as I can't believe I'm saying that.
Anyone have suggestions on what I can do other than downgrade to Windows 8.1? If I could find an archived copy of the original Windows 10 install I'd go with that but TBH, I'm unsure now what to do - and I have a wedding to shoot later today and a big project to continue editing.
