Re: Just downloaded Windows 10

Well I thought I may as well do it now because in the end I had heard that we all will have to upgrade to it. Don't know if that's true or not. Fed up with all the bliddy changes.

Yes it has.

* Click on 'Start' (bottom left icon).
* Select 'All Apps'.
* Scroll down to 'Windows Accessories'.
* Click on that to open the folder. The Snipping Tool is there.
* Right-click on the Snipping Tool icon and options will be given to pin it to the Start Menu and/or the Taskbar.

Re: Just downloaded Windows 10

I'm on windows 8 and am sticking to it until the windows 10 glitches are sorted. It's free for a year, so a while to give it a chance.
I've got an ipad, so would like my next laptop to be a mac, but they are rather more expensive I think.

Re: Just downloaded Windows 10

Although I've been a Windows user for years, I've never used the Snipping Tool. I've always performed a "screen dump" (aka print, shot, capture) and edited the resulting image or, when I require to edit the output, Copy and Paste into a Word document. Nevertheless, I've entered the details, obtained here, on my Knowledge Base - there may be a future use .....

Re: Just downloaded Windows 10

I more or less do the same Omah. Press 'Print Screen' on the keyboard but paste the screenshot into a photo editing program instead.

The Snipping Tool included in Windows is pretty good for doing the basic job though.

Re: Just downloaded Windows 10

I have Windows 7 on my computer upstairs, and the new laptop which I bought about a month ago has Windows 10 on it. Yes, I prefer 7, but that's because I am used to it, but I am getting used to 10, and so far haven't had any problems with it.

Re: Just downloaded Windows 10

Microsoft claim they are going to keep updates going until 2020 for windows 7,
so by that time no doubt there will be yet another platform on the market making windows 10 out of date as well.

Marion

it is the upgrade from previous versions that are causing the problems, new computers should not be affected
