Our home just gained a shiny new HP laptop, which was immediately upgraded to Windows 10.
Much of the last tweny-four hours has been consumed by two tasks: making it print to an HP printer networked to our router, and moving email from Windows Live Mail on an XP box to the same program on the W10 machine.
If I run into a Linux problem (or even Android) I can usually visit a forum or other resource and get an answer in a few minutes. With Windows I'm Googling madly and chasing many more dead ends than useful answers.
And yes, that not surprisingly includes Microsoft's own sites.
So Soylentils, what are your go-to places for good-quality Windows 10 information?

reminds me when the new win7 equipped machines got shipped at work.
I start the first one, do the initial setup and activation, try to configure the LAN printer / copier, win7 starts auto-looking on the net for the driver.
Well, in the meantime I might double boot sidux on another machine... done (sidux from usb installed in 2:30 + 1 min to set configuration opts)
Well, in the meantime I might double boot sidux on yet another ... done
Well, in the meantime I might double boot sidux on the last one ... done
Well, in the meantime I might check if printing work on sidux... flawless. The scanner? too.
20 mins into the printer configuration, the win7 machine finally configures the printer. To this day the scanner works only on linux.
