Samsung: Don't install Windows 10 (theregister.co.uk)

Posted by msmash on Wednesday June 1, 2016 @03:10AM from the curious-case-of-Windows-10-updates dept.

An anonymous reader shares an article on The Register: Samsung is advising customers against succumbing to Microsoft's nagging and installing Windows 10. The consumer electronics giant's support staff have admitted drivers for its PCs still don't work with Microsoft's newest operating system and told customers they should simply not make the upgrade. That's nearly a year after Microsoft released Windows 10 and with a month to go until its successor -- Windows 10 Anniversary Update -- lands. Samsung's customers have complained repeatedly during the last 12 months of being either unable to install Microsoft's operating system on their machines or Windows 10 not working properly with components if they do succeed. However, with the one-year anniversary fast approaching it seems neither of these tech giants have succeeded in solving these persistent problems.

Samsung is too busy by Anonymous Coward · 2016-06-01 03:16 · Score: 3, Interesting

Samsung is too busy writing crappy replacements for all of the Google apps on Android, not updating their phones, screwing around with Tizen, etc. to both creating a proper set of drivers for their PCs. No surprise, they aren't good at updating anything they make. Oh, wait. They are good at adding advertisements to their older TVs: https://hardware.slashdot.org/...
