If you have agreed for your Microsoft Operating System
complementary upgrade to the Windows 10, you might already have recent
opportunity to perform it.
And here is my personal experience.
The process of the system upgrade is simple, straightforward
and fully automatic. You may start it immediately upon receiving the related
invitation, or you may schedule it for later time, more suitable for the
background processes to perform the task.
While I cannot say I have explored all the new features
and capabilities, the original experience is quite positive, with almost no
obvious issues and hiccups. I say almost, because the audio stopped working
altogether.
Here is the sequence of my troubleshooting actions to
restore the audio performance of my computer:
* Reconnected 3.5-mm audio cable for my speakers at the
back of the computer. Negative effect.
* Connected speakers to the front connector to verify
that the issue is not related to the particular connection. No changes.
* Connected headphones to assure that it is not
particular issue with my elderly computer speakers. No sound with headphones as
well.
* Connected USB headphones to check the sound card
performance in general. Yes! After drivers update, the sound is present.
* All the previous steps point out on the possibility
that the problem source is the outdated or corrupted Sound Drivers.
--- Accessed Device Manager through the Control Panel
--- Located Audio in Sound, Video, and Game Controllers
Category.
--- With right mouse click brought context menu and
selected Updated Driver Software… option. After the driver was updated
successfully, the audio has been restored.
And what is your experience with the Windows 10 upgrade?
