Microsoft's latest addition to the Windows family, the Windows 10, has so far evoked mixed response from users around the globe, as the launch has been a resounding success with the latest claims suggesting as many as 27 million installations on PCs worldwide.
However, the Windows 10 free upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 also brings its own share of bugs and installation issues including problems with adjusting display brightness on some PCs.
