[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 1179504, member: 72093"] I'm avoiding Win 10 like the plague. Tried a clean install of the server - fine but I'm never sure what it is up to - it uses a lot of tracking. As for clients, same issue with the added "bonus" that my clients are room specific, not people - and adding a non MS account is a royal pain. The 'behind the scenes' updates and logging is annoying, especially when what I want more than anything is stability. I was totally cheesed off by being "offered" Kandy Crush/Skype/Office for machines that can never, EVER sensibly run these. I upgraded the server (and client) and two other clients before I just got fed up fighting with Win 10. I'm not a luddite, I have a spiffy new Win 10 64 bit gaming rig (just to play Tomb Raider - BADLY!) and both my and spouse's laptops are on Win 10 too. But for the home automation laptop (HomeSeer on Win 7 64 bit) the CCTV server (iSpyConnect on Win 732 bit) and MediaPortal client/server Win7 64 bit, 8 clients on Win7 32 bit) I don't need MS deciding what/how and when for me. (Yes, I know I have a STUPID number of machines here. Heck, there's even one in the garage on 24/7 -the clients run as CCTV/Video Intercom and well as being able to play radio/tv/etc. when I'm there.) Windows 10 takes the control away from me -that is just wrong. [/QUOTE]
