I'm pretty salty about Dell these days. I recommended my grandparents get a Dell so I wouldn't have to do too much tech support (I'm really rusty at Windows these days), and Dell decided that a machine manufactured and purchased in late 2012 is "too old" for them to bother making working Windows 10 drivers for. That's some real bullshit there.
Of course, Microsoft has no idea, so the machine gets updated to Windows 10 and tries to send 60hz to the 50hz built in monitor, which decided (actually sensibly) to just blink at you until you fix it.
That was a great experience...
- jzwinck 11y agoI in-place upgraded three computers to Windows 10. All three had serious problems with the upgrade. On one the graphics became slow because it had Intel HD 3000 which apparently doesn't work well in Windows 10. On another the monitor would not turn on when resuming from sleep. On the third, the entire installation screwed up and required a wholesale reinstallation. Those were one HP, one Lenovo, and one homegrown PC. So don't blame it on Dell.
- larrik 11y agoI can certainly blame Dell for not supporting a Windows upgrade for computer that was only 2.5 year old on retail release, never mind previews and betas. It means they see their computers as disposable objects almost immediately after purchase, so why would I ever purchase one?
