| 2 | hilarious, considering they arent even releasing it yet, to already be breaking it bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-09-05 09:26:00 |
| 3 | isn't it to be expected that some features in a pre release version of software might break something. Not like they don't warn about these things when signing up for the beta/dev channels etc king1 - 2021-09-05 11:11:00 |

| 5 | Meh. I sure don't have any reason to install it. I"m not even curious about it. Possible I won't need to be as the replacement for this particular laptop when it dies, (and it's held together by hot glue and sticky tape right now) will likely be an android tablet with a bluetooth keyboard. Kinda sick of $1000 + toys having to be discarded due to seriously broken hinges. nice_lady - 2021-09-05 12:06:00 |
| 6 | Try ASUS for laptops, when I bought my netbook in 2011, they were reputed to have the most durable hinges, and my hinges are still OK now. I did have to put one screw through it once, but it did get dropped from over a metre onto the pavement when I was in Viet Nam. tygertung - 2021-09-05 12:47:00 |

Disagree. If you google it a bit they had issues. Bought a Zenbook ........hm... 6 years ago maybe or possibly a little more and it's hinges pulled away from the chassis. Not really repairable. Gave the bloody thing away. Wasn't cheap either, (bout $1500 back then). i really feel the best option is a tablet with bluetooth keyboard. NO hinges. nice_lady - 2021-09-05 12:56:00 |

Obviously MS have little to gain from allowing an upgrade of every existing system to the latest version, they need the new hardware sales to sell new windows licenses - it's simply a commercial decision. king1 - 2021-09-05 13:02:00 |

Of course. Perhaps we've just had bad luck. Hubby used to cart the Hp around to peoples places when he was doing a lot of tech work so it got a bit travelled. Not sure why these last three aren't so good. Have had a couple of others which lasted years. Anyway as I say theres an easy way around that. Tablet next time I think. Got no particular reason to have to use a Windows laptop as such. They are convenient yeah but decent ones are $1000 + and that's a lot of money to have to keep replacing. Mostly used now for reading stuff and communicating. We use our phones for those things also of course. But a bigger screen than a phone would be nice perhaps an 11" or similar Tablet.

| 11 | windows tablets will never hold the same market share as apple ipads. bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-09-05 14:33:00 |
| 12 | Biggest cause of laptop hinge issues is when people open and close them from the side and not the middle, this puts more pressure on one side and they break after awhile. Edited by loud_37 at 3:50 pm, Sun 5 Sep loud_37 - 2021-09-05 15:50:00 |
| 13 | Well after pulling apart our Zenbook and this HP I can say that the methods they use for mounting hinges are not designed to last well. nice_lady - 2021-09-05 15:54:00 |
| 14 | My HP laptop hinge broke on one side and this model had a small screw at the bottom of the screen on each side. I took the screws out and drilled right through one at a time and put a small bolt with a nut on it and has been fine for the last year or so. erimus - 2021-09-11 20:24:00 |
| 15 | Yeah Hubby looked at doing something similar. nice_lady - 2021-09-11 20:29:00 |
