I upgraded my laptop, and the display looked horrible in low resolution afterwards. There was an accelerated video driver for my video card in windows7, but not for windows10, so it falls back to vga. So i had to revert back. My desktop is often used to watch live TV from my cable-card device in WindowsMediaCenter. There is no WindowsMediaCenter for windows10, so I guess that machine is staying on windows7 also. Just because you could upgrade to windows 10, does not mean everyone can. Every day i get a popup, telling me to upgrade. I say no thanks, i cant. Why does it keep asking me? That's what the fuss is about.

Is it common for people to have hardware issues with a new version of Windows? I can't see Microsoft ignoring a large issue with hardware compatibility and nonetheless nagging people to upgrade. I feel like an effort to convince people to stay on the latest software has good intentions overall, and for the most part, maybe people would benefit from it.
