Using Windows 10 for the first time!

I just bought Windows, Windows 10. It's

installing, copying Windows files,

getting ready files for installation,

installing features, installing updates.

1%? This is gonna take ages.

40%. Come on, I don't have all day.

93, 94.

Come on, finishing up, finishing up. Come

on, green arrow, green tick.

Oh, Windows needs to restart to continue.

Restarting in 5, 4,

3, 2, 1.

Do we have Windows?

Do we have Windows?

Please boot up faster.

Oh, we have Windows! For the first time in

my whole life, we have Windows. Well,

not the first time in my whole life. It's

been— how long has it been since I last

used Windows? The last Windows I used was

Windows XP when I was playing World of

Warcraft, like 8 years ago, so I'm

guessing 2010-ish,

2000, maybe 2011. Maybe I used Windows

XP until 2011, I think.

Getting ready. I hope this doesn't take

too long. I've got things to do. Oh,

something's happening. Get going fast.

Change these at any time. Change what?

Should we do customize or express

settings? Let's go for express settings.

I'm impatient. Just a moment.

Okay then.

Get your files here, there, and

everywhere. Um,

I don't really want this.

Cortana. Siri ripoff. I'm Cortana.

I'm here to make things easier and help

you get things done. Maybe later,

Cortana. I don't need a personal robot to

talk to just yet.

Hi. Hi to you too, Windows 10.

We're happy you're here. What is this?

What is this? I'm happy I'm here too.

Getting things ready, please don't turn

off your PC. That's how I imagine it would

talk. Getting things ready, please don't

turn off your PC. My robot voice.

Oh, something's happening. Let's start.

Yes, please. Is it done? Do I

have Windows? I can't believe it was so

easy. I thought it'd be really difficult

for some reason. This is what—

I like the background. Very nice redesign

of the Windows logo. I do like the

simplified little squares. So what

do we do? Um, I have no idea. We have Task

View. See what that does. Does nothing.

That's great. Let's click on the Windows

button. I remember loads of people moaning

about this. Oh, bring back the Windows

button. So this comes up with this weird

like tile icon view, which I quite like

actually. It looks quite nice. It's better

than— I hate this desktop look. It's just

so ugly. At least when it's like this,

everything's kind of neat and organized.

So we have some apps on

the side which I'm never going to use.

Movies and TV. World of Tanks? No thanks.

Get Office? No thanks. Um, so we got

Store, Windows Store I guess, Netflix,

Twitter, Skype, Microsoft Edge,

and why is there a camera, camera app?

Where is it? Here, Camera. I don't have a

webcam, so I guess it does nothing.

We have Windows Edge, which I've never

used before. I guess I'll install Chrome

Microsoft Edge.

We've got Cortana down here.

Windows Store.

I don't really know where to start. I've

got so much to do. I need to install

Chrome. I need to redo all my

web pages that I— all the websites that I

visit usually. I need to install Fraps as

well and Steam. And yeah,

the reason why I got Windows was for

gaming. I really want to try World of

Warcraft again. I want to just have a

look, have a look, try the free demo, see

what's changed, revisit my roots. As, as

it were. So yeah, this is Windows.

I finally made it. I finally decided to

take the plunge and spend some money on an

operating system. I've been using Ubuntu

for so long just because I don't really do

much on my PC. I just watch YouTube and

movies, but I really wanted to play some

games that are only available on Windows.

I don't really care about much else.

Yeah, I don't know where to start.

There's so much to do, so much to set up.

I guess I'll do that now.

Currently installing Steam. I quite

like it. I quite like this operating

system. I don't understand what the

negativity was about. Everyone was saying,

oh, Windows 10, they've changed so much,

it's so difficult to use now.

Everything's so complicated, I don't

understand what's going on. Bring back

Windows 10. What are you talking about? I

haven't used Windows since Windows XP,

and it's—I don't really see what's

different. You have your desktop, you have

icons up here, you can select them, you

right-click, you can do stuff like—I

don't know—create folders and settings,

and there's a file manager just like how

Windows XP used to have. You have all

your. Things on the side. You have your

drives here, Local Disk C,

USB. There's a search bar. You can search

the whole computer if you just type in the

search bar, so it's easy to find files.

Everything's really clean and simplified,

but at the same time you still have access

to all the advanced options. They're just,

um, they're not right in your face all the

time. And then you have the Windows button

that everyone was moaning about. It's

fine. You've got a list of,

um, programs and apps. You've got settings

here on the little settings button. You

can change all this stuff. Let's try and

focus. Ah, it's not focusing.

Yeah, you've got this, um, settings.

You've got everything here— system stuff,

devices, network. Personalization,

background, lock screen, privacy, time,

language. I don't really see what else you

would want. What else do you have? This

little button down here does, uh, whoops,

that's my email. Don't want to show you

that. Um,

got the time down here.

Uh, what else is there? What I'm

saying is I've only used this for like

half an hour, so I'm not really that

knowledgeable about it yet, but I don't

find it difficult at all. I feel right at

home, and I haven't used Windows for what,

6 or 7 years? The last time I used Windows

was Windows XP, and this doesn't really

feel that different. There are a few new

things like the Windows button, this weird

tile thing which I probably will never use

because Uh, I just don't

really see when I'm going to use this.

And there's the, the Edge browser. Oh

shit, I don't want to show you that.

There's the Edge browser, which seems

nice. It's just a browser. They're all

pretty much the same, aren't they? It

looks nice. I like the simplified square

boxy look. It's very aesthetically

pleasing to me. I like how decluttered it

is. I remember back on Windows XP, at the

top of the web browser you'd have all this

crap like search bars, antivirus toolbars,

like a bazillion toolbars that took up

half the screen. But this is very

simplified. I really like it.

Well, I guess we'll see. Got a little menu

up here. It's pretty much the same as

Chrome, to be honest. I don't really see

what's, what's different. And you

got this, um, task view which Apple does,

that you click it and you can see all the

things that are open. It's very nice.

And there's Cortana, you can ask her

stuff. What's on your mind?

It's pretty much like Siri, I guess. I, I

don't understand what all the negativity

was about, people moaning. About Windows

10 being— Microsoft

changed so much, or it's too simplified,

or it's too complicated. I just think it's

people being damn lazy. People are used to

using stuff like Windows 7 or XP, what

they're used to, and then Microsoft come

along with this new updated version with

all these new features, and they've

changed things and moved things around,

and people are just like Oh, I don't want

to take time to learn something new. I'm—

I just want to do things that— do things

the way that I've always been doing them.

That's boring. Don't you get bored of

doing things the same way you've always

done them? Isn't it nice and refreshing

when things are updated and refreshed

and renewed? I guess a lot of people just

don't really care about things like that,

and they just want things to stay exactly

the same so they don't have to bothered

with having to learn something new, and I

just find that kind of sad.

Freezing,

freezing.

So, um, I wanted to talk a bit about why I

decided to finally buy Windows 10. The

cars are coming out. For a very long time,

I've been very against buying Windows 10,

mainly because I didn't want to spend

money on an operating system. I feel like

if you buy a computer, you should get an

operating system for free with it. That's

why I've been using Ubuntu for, for, for,

for, for forever. And up until now,

Ubuntu has served my needs pretty well.

All I wanted to do was go on YouTube and

watch movies, but Now I feel like I want

to do more gaming, especially some games

that you can't get on Ubuntu. Ubuntu is

getting better for gaming, there's a lot

of Linux ports coming over which is nice,

but it's just not enough. There's still so

many games that I haven't been able to

play because of my operating system. And

it's not just games, it's stuff like

screen recording programs you can't really

get on Ubuntu. There's a few But they're

really bad. They're terrible, have

terrible UI, they're glitchy and buggy,

and they're really difficult to use.

And I just don't have the patience to try

and learn how to use them, which is kind

of ironic because earlier I was saying

about how people are lazy to learn to use

the new Windows and they should just stop

complaining. It's freezing, it's really

cold now. And maybe it's because of these

New adverts for the new expansion pack

Legion for World of Warcraft, but for some

reason I just got this huge urge to have a

look at the game again. Log in, make a

character, see what's different, see

what's new, see how it's changed, see how

I feel like. Like, the game took control

of my life completely for nearly 2 years,

and it'd just be strange to revisit it,

like, retrace my footsteps. So I was

thinking about reinstalling World of

Warcraft, just the trial demo. And I've

installed a screen recording program,

and I want to make a gameplay video.

I want to revisit, like, where it all

began. The gaming addiction. The game that

ruined my life, that ruined my education,

that, that made me end up working in a

petrol station instead of something

better. We're gonna revisit it. It's

currently installing right now. It's

currently downloading. It's 40 gigabytes,

so it's gonna take a long time.

Especially on my slow internet.

I want to make the video— I might title it

something like Returning to World of

Warcraft After— how long has it been? 5 or

6 years? I can't even remember. I did play

a bit when Wrath of the Lich King came

out. I got to level 80. I had a level 80

Death Knight, but I only played it for

like a few months and I got bored. See,

that's the thing. When I first started

World of Warcraft, I was so obsessed with

becoming powerful and leveling up to the

maximum level and like being famous on my

server. I really wanted to be well known.

I wanted everyone to know me. I wanted to

be a force to be reckoned with. I wanted

to have friends. But now I just log in and

I just don't care. I don't care about

being the most powerful person. I don't

care about having a reputation or being

known by everyone. None of that is

important. I just want to play a game just

for fun. I don't want to have it be

a part of my life, something that defines

me. It used to be my defining feature.

My life might be shit, I might have no

friends, I might not have a job or money,

but I'm a level 60 druid on World of

Warcraft and I'm the most powerful druid

on the server and everyone knows me.

That's all that matters. That's how I used

to think back then when I was a teenager.

But really, none of that matters. You just

have to play games for fun. When it stops

becoming fun and you're just like grinding

and grinding and you're just grinding away

at it just to level up and get stronger,

then there's no point in playing anymore

if you're not having fun and it's like

destroying your life. Anyway, it's not

just World of Warcraft. There are a few

other games I wanted to play. I've always

wanted to try out Skyrim. I've never been

able to because I've always been on

Ubuntu. I've always— I've never had a

console, games console, since like 2005.

And it does— it kind of looks interesting.

I'm not sure, I might get bored pretty

soon. I've always wanted to get back into

gaming. The only thing that's held me back

is not feeling like I deserve to play

games. I was always on the job center. I

never had a job. £80 was a lot of money to

me, so I didn't feel like I wanted to

spend that amount of money on an operating

system. I didn't feel like I wanted to

spend the money on upgrading my graphics

card or my, my PC so I could play games.

I didn't want to spend money on a games

console or a TV because I felt like I

didn't deserve to do those things because

I didn't earn the money and I didn't

really have the money in the first place.

And at the time I was obsessed with going

to Japan, so getting into gaming wasn't

really a good idea. So I could spend money

on a games console and a TV, but if I went

to Japan, I wouldn't be able to use it.

So it just felt like, what was the point?

It's just a big waste of money.

So I just kind of stayed away from gaming,

saved up all my money so I could go to

Japan and waste a couple months in that

country. And what do I have to show for

it? All the years, all the months, and all

the weeks I spent living in Japan, going

on the working holiday visa, all the

relationships I had and that failed. What

do I have to show for it now? Absolutely

nothing. I have, I have like a pretty

decent Japanese ability, which— language

ability, which is getting worse and worse

because I haven't even spoken Japanese for

years. I don't have any Japanese friends

to speak to. I'm not interested in

learning the language anymore. I don't

really care. I could forget how to speak

Japanese completely and I wouldn't care.

It wouldn't affect me. It's not like it's

of much use to me now, is it? But now I

feel like, now I have a job and I don't

really have anything else to spend money

on. I've got a lot of money now and I

don't know what to do with it, so Spending

£80 on the operating system is like

nothing to me. And why not, why not spend

another £200 on a graphics card? £200,

I can make that money in a week.

All I have to do is work 5 days and I've

made that money back. I don't know if

you'd be very interested in watching

videos that I make about video games or

playing games. I won't make that many

because, to be honest, When it comes to

video games, I have a very high standard.

I don't like, like, 99% of the video games

that are out. It has to be a very special

game to capture my interest and to make me

interested in it. I'm not interested in

most of the mainstream games like Call of

Duty or Battlefield or Overwatch.

I'm just not interested in them. The only

reason why I'm interested in playing World

of Warcraft again is purely for

sentimental value, just like revisiting my

past. It's like going back in time. It's

like growing up as— growing up into an

adult and then going back to your

childhood home. It's like nostalgic for

me, and I really want to do it. Anyway,

that was the reason why I decided to make

the purchase and finally get it. I don't

really understand what all the negativity

was about. It's so easy to use. I haven't

used Windows for like 6 years since

Windows XP, and I don't understand why

everyone's so negative about it. It's

fine. It works fine. There's nothing

complicated or difficult about it.

Everything's easy to locate and find. The

interface looks great. I think it looks

really nice. I like the clean, simplified

look it has now. Windows always used to

look very cluttered, as I remember,

especially the web browser. Internet

Explorer used to be terrible. Used to have

all these toolbars that kept installing

themselves automatically and filling up

your computer with junk. I just hope it

isn't like that anymore. And it was— it's

kind of sad to say goodbye to Ubuntu.

I've used it for so many years and it

served me well. It's just that it's so

limiting. There's so many things you can't

do on it. There's no decent video editing

programs. But there's one called OpenShot

and it's terrible. The UI is— it looks

like it's from the '90s. It's so old

looking. The support for it is really bad.

Even Flash is such a pain in the ass.

Flash keeps going wrong or it won't

install. There's no decent screen

recording programs that are easy to use.

There's like one, but it's really

confusing. Keeps glitching and bugging

out. So many games don't even work for

Linux. Oh, and the installation process

was so easy. I just bought it off Amazon.

When you buy it on Amazon, you can choose

if you want it to have it delivered to

your house as a USB stick, or you could

choose to have it downloaded. I clicked

download, and then Amazon sends you like a

product key, a Windows key, and then all

you do is go onto the Microsoft website

and download Windows 10 for, for your

system. For your system? No, you just

download 64-bit Windows 10 and

then it downloads as an ISO file. I don't

really know what that is. And then I

downloaded this program for Linux called

WinUSB, and then you just select the ISO

file, plug in your SD card, and then press

install, and then it It installs the ISO

file onto the SD card. You can also use a

USB stick, and that's it. Then you restart

the computer, go into boot mode, select

your SD card as your startup drive, and

then it starts installing Windows. It was

so easy. I can't believe how easy it was.

You have to create a new

partition. I deleted my Ubuntu partition

and and reformatted it. So Ubuntu's

gone, Windows is here.

I don't know why, but I thought it would

be a lot more difficult, but it was really

easy. Wasn't difficult at all. It was only

a 4 gigabyte download. All of Windows 10,

4 gigabytes, fitted onto an 8 gigabyte SD

card. It's amazing.
