My Win10 machines have between 8 and 12 GB. Depending on what you typically do, either would be adequate. I surely wouldn't go below 8 GB. I find ~~ 6GB is a typical commit level. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 12/13/2016 8:13 AM, Jeremy wrote: How much RAM do you have? My Win10 machines all have 16GB and run smooth. It takes like 2GB just to run. On Tue, Dec 13, 2016 at 8:48 AM, Cameron Crum <[email protected]> wrote: I wish I could go back. Maybe it's my machine, but it has become a dog since the upgrade. It takes 3 minutes to come out of hibernation and many times when I click the start button to launch a program it doesn't even respond. Trying to sort a directory by date seems like it has to reindex the entire drive before showing me the files. It's only a laptop I use occasionally, but man it has sucked so far.

Windows 10 will install all the new drivers. Then all I have to do (if necessary) is activate Windows 10 and viola. No more needing to transfer all the clients data and settings because they're already there.

Way to go Microsoft -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
