Can confirm that installing the latest AMD hotfix drivers, 16.1, corrects stuttering issues on games that were suffering. They actually seem to be nicer than before. Here are the drivers again...

AMD have just released new drivers, v16.1, that address and fix the issues that many AMD users have with win10, regarding performance. If windows didn't update your graphics drivers automatically, you can get the Crimson 16.1 hotfix here...

Yep - 100% that is what the problem is... With driver version: 15.201.1101.0, Fallout New Vegas is unplayable with lag, first loading "pop"... With driver version: 15.200.1055.0, the game is smooth as it used to be. Roll back your drivers,, disable windows update. Job's a good'un. Game on...

I'd like to ask what driver version people who are experiencing this problem are running? You can find this by typing "system" into search, choose device manager in the left menu, right clicking the AMD radeon in Display Adaptors and then choose the driver tab: The one I had was this...

oh also - I think that a limiting factor of the Toshiba laptop with this card is the hard drive... It's very, very slow... In win 10, you might notice that when the GPU is running high performance, that the HDD will be 100% in any monitor you use. Windows antimalware service is usually the...

lucky..? It even says on the official MS site, "if you make a significant change to your hardware, you will have to call customer service"... That's not luck... it's decent customer service from microsoft. Your reply doesn't have much to do with the question and certainly doesn't answer it -...

I phoned Microsoft tech support and they helped me install win 10 using usb installation media i had created on another pc. Thanks for your help guys:)

I hate reading product documentation (the font is always so chunky), but it is plain and simple: Can I reinstall windows 10 after upgrading? "Yes. Once you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer, you will be able to reinstall, including a clean install, on the same device. You...

So to summarise the thread: If you have win 7 installed, you can upgrade to win 10. Once you have upgraded to win 10, you now have a win 10 license that is bound to your critical hardware config. Therefore, you can perform a "clean" installation using win 10 installation media, without need...
