Monday 12th 65F. Bright but cloudy. Expected to reach 73F with sunny periods. Already 78F at 13.00! A short, early walk in warm sunshine. Masses of swallows and sparrows.Then I wasted the entire morning setting up the replacement PC. As the previous HDD was dead I had NO passwords. NO Wireless. NO emails. NO confirmation of ID. NO pictures. NO downloads. NO documents. NO user accounts. No forum auto-logins. NO favourites. NO bookmarks. Nothing! Just empty toolbars. Tiny fonts and symbols!
W10 S wouldn't even allow my choice of browser or mail service. Bing is truly, bløødy awful! What nutter came up with that garbage and remained at large? Talk about the hard sell! The whole browser page was a complete nightmare! I had to get rid of it to avoid recurring nightmares.
I spent ages removing automatic crap from the screen. The screen wasn't even properly filled and W10 ignored all instructions to expand out to the edges. More time wasted searching for a cure! All of which were ignored until it finally relented without reason.
The upside is a quiet PC with a much smaller footprint and weight. At last I have enough USB3 ports and onboard SSD. Though they were cheapskates and fitted a 500GB instead of a pennies more expensive, 1-2TB.
