Reading this thread, I do not feel quite as dumb as I did a month or so ago.
After the release of TG4, I stumbled through with a 4GIG unit with win10 installed. TG4 did okay as long as I did more complex renders in down time. At this time Win10 was only installing updates with administrator approval.
I asked and was told I think by Oshlyan, that yes, I could do things with 4GIG, but should probably look to the future improvments to TG features and get some more "power". I knew this was coming eventually on my own anyway, this was just confirmation.
So at my first opportunity financially after my purchase of TG4 Creative, I got my current 16G unit with OS Win10 installed. About a week later, my old unit was somehow reset with an "update", wiping out most of my old programs. To say the least I was furious. I walked into my workroom with a blue screen message on the older unit...something like, Windows is resetting your computer. My File Explorer had folders like Removed Programs that when exe files were selected all older programs failed to open due to missing dll or other files. Even reinstalling these files only resulted in new messages about missing files. I am not a genius and was not going to track down all these files because I had no clue if I could even place them where they belonged or if the next update would simply wipe them out again.
Then someone suggested,okay put it back on Win7 or Win8. New computer salesman sort of laughed and said Good Luck with that. I pay annually for Office Home updates so losing Office Pro bothered me some, but I got over it. (sort of)
I will now "get over it" but it is a pain to send myself stuff or download with a stick, my newer TG4 files. It was probably all crapola anyway, but it was my crapola, so I thought.
