Windows 10/Aol. ?
 
I am also experiencing a nightmare with 10. My computer upgraded itself to Windows 10. Ever since I cannot even type an email. The computer just logs it off. Someone told me Aol is not compatible with Windows 10? I hired a professional and he hooked me up with safari and it still doesn't work. I need serious help with this as I am starting new club and must be able to email hundreds of members. Does anyone have a wonderful computer repair person to recommend??? I am beyond frustrated!! Want my old windows back

Here is an article on how to get your old system back.

How to Get Your Previous System Back After You Have Upgraded to Windows 10 | Gizmo's Freeware

I am sure there is plenty of similar information on the web.

If it hasn't been 30 days since you installed w10, you can go back to your old system. I did it for a friend.

:read:I packed my Mac desktop yesterday and put it in a safe spot in the Pack Rat container. I am using Mrs Nucky computer complete with Windows 10. What a damn shame that Microsoft is allowed to treat their valued customers this way. You have to be a semi rocket scientist to get this damn thing to do all the thing necessary to operate as normal. I will never buy a windows based laptop or desktop ever. Apple is not perfect but they don't torture you the way Microsoft does. Check out hulahips post. We feel your pain. I'm not going to uninstall, I will move forward with Windows 10 because it is not bad once you get everything straightened out and installed but until then it's a bigga B.S. Shame on Microsoft, it should be a logical sequence of simple commands to update your machine not mission impossible.:read::cryin2::censored: I found the Pinheads O'reilly is always talking about....Microsoft Engineers....Not Customer Friendly.

Just for balance...I downloaded 10 when it was first offered. I upgraded AOL at the same time, downloaded new drivers for my printer. I have zero isses and or problems with 10 since day one. I have a 64-bit machine and 16G of ram which gives 10 lots of room to play.

And if you are past 30 days and have restore points setup (as every computer SHOULD have but you need to do it)...you can always go back. Simply, a restore point will take anything back to a specific date(s). So, if you get a virus, spyware, install something goofy or end up with an OS you do not like - simply go back to yesterday, last week, last month or last year.

You might try the following google search string:
aol not working with windows 10
it seems this is a known problem. I did not go over the various replies.
Also, if you are using EDGE (bid blue e sysmbol) try using Internet Explorer, it should still be on your computer, as it was still on mine after the upgrade.

Click on the windows symbol in the lower left corner of your computer screen. Then clicks on ALL APPS, scroll down to WINDOWS ACCESSORIES, then click on the down carat, and your should see Internet Explorer. RIGHT click on Internet Explorer and select pin to start, and you now have a shortcut to this.
Hope this helps.
