various Goflight panels and a bunch of Pokeys cards - seems to mind Win 10 at all.

 

If you run the GF-166s or other panels with displays that don't light up you "might" need to run GFWindows8Fixer for Win10, or manually edit the registry to get the displays working ... essentially have to tell Win10 these GF devices don't support power suspend mode.  

 

The other option is to go into the EFI/BIOS and enable legacy support and turn OFF Intel's XHCI support and set to Disable rather than Smart or Auto (warning this might cause undesirable results).

 

Cheers, Rob.

 

Everything moves on, and you'll all update eventually, if not to Win10 then to Win11. Its all part of using the PC platform and accepting things move on.

 

WinXP was lovely but I had to move to Win7 eventually, and who here would say that was a bad move?

 

 

There will not be a windows 11 or windows 12. The current windows, will be updated and updated from now on. I'm guessing that what MS is going to start doing, is charging a yearly subscription fee for Windows like they do with Office. MS is not in business to give away free software, that being their major income generator. So this year it's free. We will see what happens next year.  

 

 

Suits me to stay with Win7 proobaly for next 10-15 years.

 

Ha-ha.... go for it!

Meh, Windows 7 gets you no hipster points.

 

I still have my Commodore 128. I plan to still be using THAT for the next 10-15 years. I find that it is stable, and Commodore Basic 2.0\Commodore KERNEL is sufficient for my needs. I have not succumbed to the new-fangled trend of installing GEOS or - even worse - 'upgrading' to the Amiga.

I refuse to move past Windows 95

Are you guessing or is that a fact?

I listen to a 2 hour show every week on TWIT network by two experts in Windows. They have been discussing this since before Windows 10 was released. https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly

Boot times after MoBo checks have completed are around 40 secs

 

Re: Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1

 

Correction, checked again this morning and at first (cold) boot it's 40 secs from power-on to desktop.

Ah, happy days - remember all those pesky IRQ conflicts? Just doesn't seem the same anymore :(

I miss the days of DOS, when 640k RAM was considered to be more than anyone would ever need! :rolleyes:

First PC I ever owned, back in 1985 came with 64K. I had to buy extra chips to get it up to 640.

 Bill Gates didn't really have that much imagination back then.

My first PC was delivered in January 1992. It was based around a 25Mhz 386SX CPU, and boasted a whopping 1MB RAM and a 45MB hard disk (yes, that's right, kids. The hard disk was only 45MB)!! I ended up having to purchase a maths co-processor for it, because Dance of the Planets (the astronomical planetarium software that I used at the time) required a processor that could handle floating point calculations at a reasonable speed, and the SX chips were basically DX chips with the floating point processor disabled!

Wow, all you folk started at the top of the line in PCs ... 

 

Motorola 6809E - TRS-80 Color Computer.  I believe it was 1Mhz (sync'd to sound chip) ... I had a massive 32K, but was able to add 64K bubble RAM.

 

 

here is what I used to load/save programs:

Hard disk??  1MB RAM?? math co-processor??  DOS?  You folk were spoiled rotten!

 

Cheers, Rob.

That was my first PC: A ZX81 with "touch keys"

 

 

 

Followed by a Schneider CPC 6128:

 

 

You can image how a "flight sim" looked like...

@Rob: Love that Hitachi TV!

Classic!
