What Will Happen To My Music In Windows 10?

A lot of you may have concerns about your music files in Windows 10. Like the question I was asked at the Windows 10 presentation at the Club on 28th September:

“What’s will happen to all my music, I now have on Windows Media Play-er?

I use the player for listening, making cd’s. Can I still do this?”

Nothing should happen to your music in Windows 10. Windows Media Player is still with Windows 10. Although many folks have been confused because Windows Media Centre is no longer around. Your music files should not be affected and you can still listen to your music in Windows Media Player.

While you may make playlists to organize your music there, it’s actually still stored in your music folder.

You’ll also have the option of using the Groove Music App that comes with Windows 10.

The King James Bible

There were a few embarrassing printing errors over sev-eral printings of the King James Bible.

The Wicked Bible:

The 1613 printing omitted the word “not” from the Sev-enth Commandment, inadvertently “encouraging” peo-

ple to commit adultery . This blunder was spread in a number of copies. About a year later, the publishers of the Wicked Bible were called to the Star Chamber and fined £300 (£44,614 as of 2015)

The Unrighteous Bible from 1653 Another edition carrying this title omits a "not" before the word "inherit", making I Corinthians 6:9 read "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall inherit the king-dom of God?..." In addition, Romans 6:13 reads "Neither yield ye your members as instruments of right-eousness into sin..." where it should read "unrighteousness".

Being a member of the printing industry in NSW, Australia since 1959—1996, I can appreciate the problems occurring when printing errors occur.

Will I Get The Free Upgrade?

Most Windows users will be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10. If you are running Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 Home or Pro Editions, you should be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free. You will have to take advantage of this offer between July 29, 2015 and July 29, 2016 in order to get the upgrade for free. After that, you’ll probably pay approx. $179 Windows Home & $299 Windows pro for the upgrade. Your Windows 10 license will be good for the life of the computer it is loaded on. Before you install Windows 10 update it is a good idea to back up your personal data on your Computer. Also make sure your Computer has the latest updates from Mi-crosoft. If you have Automatic Updates switched on there will be no problems.

If you have not already downloaded the Free upgrade you can do so by clicking on this icon in the system tray (bottom right of your Computer)

Dependent on your Internet speed this can take some-time, just be patient.

Once Windows 10 has downloaded, you should get the notice to start the upgrade. Don’t start this upgrade unless you can do without your PC for at least an hour. This install takes some time. If you’re using a laptop, plug it in. We don’t want the battery running down or running out of power during your upgrade. (example: It took me 1hr 55 minutes to download and install Windows 10 on a desktop)

During the install your Computer will shutdown and restart several times, this is quite normal. Again be patient. Once you have completed the upgrade your PC will welcome you back and Microsoft shows you their new Licence terms. Agree to the terms. With the Upgrade all your Programmes, Documents, Pictures etc. will still be available in Win-dows 10. When windows 10 has finished loading you will be on the Desktop.

The Start Button: bottom left of your Computer screen

The classic interface returns in a new form. Click the Windows logo button, and the Start Menu interface of Windows 10 pops up. It looks similar to the one last seen in Windows 7, but with the Windows 8/8.1 Start Screen sized down into a panel stuck to its right. You can resize the Start Menu by clicking-and-dragging on its top or right-side border

More on Windows 10:

All apps list:

Situated at the lower-left corner of the Start Menu (and right above the

Windows logo button) is “All apps.” Click these words and the left panel

will switch to an alphabetical list of all programs (both Windows apps and

desktop applications) that are installed on your computer, and their fold-

ers. Any of these listings can be turned into a Tile by clicking and dragging

it to a spot on the right half with the other Tiles.

Windows apps now run in resizable windows

Windows apps now launch in resizable windows, just like desktop applications, that you can drag-and-move to other areas of the desktop environment as you please. Their title bars also have the familiar trio of Minimize, Maximize/Restore Down, and Close buttons at their up-per-right corners.

More on Windows 10 next month.
