When the free Windows 10 upgrade became available I upgraded
a computer which I have set up in an office area in my basement where I did
second life for four years. This computer came with Win XP which I upgraded to
Win 7 later. The upgrade to 10 went very
well and Second life worked fine and still does. It is just a slower computer. I now consider
this one as a backup for my Second life.
A few months later I did the upgrade to 10 for a friend.
This computer came with Vista, which I took up to 7 later. The upgrade to 10
went without a problem. This is not used
for Second Life. It is still doing fine.
This third computer that I use now is Dell XPS 6700 with NVIDA graphic card. It came with Windows 8 which updated to 8.1
I use a VIZIO 42 inch HD flat screen TV as my viewer with surround sound. It Worked great with Firestorm viewer and
Second life. Two nights ago I upgraded to Windows 10. The upgrade went very well. Every program works very well, but having a
problem with Firestorm viewer. Rezing is
very slow, which is a problem with the way I take photos and post to my
blog. I reinstalled Firestorm viewer
with no improvement. I am slowly working
on Firestorm settings. It seems like
rezing is getting a little better. With 8.1 rezing was almost instant and maybe that spoiled me.
I updated drivers for all programs and the graphics card.
I updated drivers for all programs and the graphics card.
I will let you know later how this goes.

Thanks Carl for sharing this. You use a 42 inch monitor? Cool! I use a 27 inch one and was thinking of upgrading to a bigger size!
ReplyDeleteI had horrific problems with Windows 10 not shutting down for me but there was huge Windows 10 update last week and it seems to now be flawless.
ReplyDeleteI also experienced better speed on SL and Firestorm viewer especially the newest Firestorm release. hmmm
I have the latest Firestorm. Does not rez as fast as it did on 8.1. Will keep working on that
