Windows 10 issues

[methodman]

I updated from 8.1 to Windows 10, only to be plagued with problems Windows automatically deletes my documents and also the emulations stop accepting joysticks, and the  game files disappear.   Would I be wiser to rollback to Win8.1  or should I do a reinstall of Windows 10 and try to set everything again.  Is Windows 10 good for emulation and games or 8.1 better 7 I think I would have to locate many extra files just to make it  work with my amount of ram and a large hd so 8.1 would be much easier 

 

My question.  When I let Windows automatically install 10 I didn't lose my 8.1 license did I  if I rollback that will be accepted won't it?

Windows 10 has been a disaster for me on two of my computers so I am loathe to keep using it.

Windows 10 has been out long enough that I consider it to be a strong platform, as good as Windows 7 or maybe a bit better.

I have not done a Windows Upgrade because I have read that sometimes they create problems fresh installs generally do not have.

 

If I have read information on the upgrade correctly, your license should be valid for either 8.1 or 10 (but you should do your own checking). I would consider downloading the Windows 10 iso and installing that fresh.

+1 on keeping 10 if you can. I performed tbe 8.1 to 10 upgrade and have had few issues and none of what you describe. It has been more stable than other Windows versions.

I decided to reinstall Windows 10 and gameex came up but when I went to configure the Gameeex  config, it went to a black screen and stalled there What are the logs I'm supposed to send to you I forget?   It should work fine I know more about computers than I used to.

Ensure you have .net framework 3.5 installed.

You'll need the LAV codecs at some point as well.

[methodman]

Is that an automatic part of Windows update, or is that something I do on my own?

[Draco1962]

Do on your own. LAV codecs are available via search in the downloads. You can search your Windows Control Panel under Programs and Features > Check for updates to see if .Net Framework 3.5 is installed. It should be included with .Net 4.7 but you may have to locate it and uninstall, download & install if still having issues.
