[opensuse] Windows 10 update and openSUSE
Hello, I have a demo laptop with initially windows 8 (touch screen). Asus ultrabook, 500Gb HDD and, pretty well hidden, a small 25Gb SSD. UEFI, GPT, secure boot, all to please :-), smart mac book air like computer (but bigger and cheaper :-) Pretty soon, I upgraded windows 8 to 8.1, with no real better pleasure. Then I shrunk windows and installed openSUSE 13.2... on the SSD, getting a pretty fast result. Then I installed Leap, then an other 13 2, immediately upgrade as Tumbleweed (only way I could install tumbleweed)... So far so good. Then I waited to Windows 10. Got the Message "register", did it, and in July 29 booted Windows and waited... all night... nothing. Yesterday morning, at last, booting Windows, I got the message: Do you want Windows 10. Answered "Yes". Got a screen saying: There are three steps to get Windows 10, Registering (done), downloading (done), upgrading (yes/no). So, like read on the web, Windows 10 was probably dl in the background at some moment. I said "upgrade", and immediately got a "reboot" screen. Just a word here: my default boot is, of course, openSUSE, so when the computer reboot, I get... openSUSE, and have to get off then on being in front on the laptop, to press the down key to the windows grub entry. I had to do this many times so reboot, got a screen "relax, your computer will reboot three time", with images of the three steps: writing files, installing, setting up that was yesterday. As every step was pretty long I didn't stay on front of the computer, and don't know exactly how long it was. Like this the install was only finished this morning (one step more, upgrading my anti-virus software). And there are nearly no difference with the previous uninstall, safe a recovered start menu with the "sliding icons" included. but the main good news is that openSUSE was completely unaffected by the upgrade. last word: Windows 10 asked me to do a "usual config" and I had to search on screen to find a very little link "config" and get a screen where I refused to send all what I do on the computer to Microsoft as suggested jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Just a thig that can save the erves of an openSUSE user that have to use Windows 10 :-) Windows-Key-left X (small openSUSE sticker on my laptop :-) opens a power user menu with close session, terminal and so on... that a linux user can't live without jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
