I've made a career out of bashing Microsoft. These could wind up being tough times.

error code 80070652 on the failed install has revealed an assload of problems with my DellXPS. I may have to wipe it out and do a clean install. It's just a back-up PC that sits upstairs unused most of the time so it's no biggie.
but I'll probably have to get my kid the IT guru over here to help me..gif "Idea :idea:")

I'm just not used to that. It wasn't until just a few years ago I actually started running legit copies of Windows. Been running illegal bootleg copies for almost 20 years. Heck, I only have one legit copy of MSOffice and that's on the PC that came with it.You should call Microsoft support.
Hell, even Windows updates is pretty new to me.
Oldest daughter's Inspiron 5000 is bombing upon initial reboot - damned FastAccess facial recognition.
My guess is that it replaced the GINA, and now is arguing with Windows 10 over who logs in. The screen flickers and goes nuts.
She's going to be my high-maintenance user.

Using more memory isn't necessarily a bad thing - disk cache and all....

.....by the seat of my pants it doesn't seem to be caching. It's much faster than 7 was at task switching and having multiple tabs open in multiple browsers while keeping a TV window open. It shows Chrome and Waterfox using significantly less memory than they used to on 7. I'm used to Chrome using 3gb of ram by itself.
8/8.1 was a shitload better at that (and faster) than 7, too. Hopefully they're moving in the right direction.
Finally nuked oldest daughter's laptop and installed from scratch. Had to burn an MSDN product key because I formatted the drive and didn't want to screw with bringing back old settings.
Runs great now. Most people should have good luck with an upgrade in place, but I would disable anything that replaces/modifies the GINA and patch the existing OS fully first.
