Fix Windows 10 problems with these troubleshooting tools from Microsoft

Upgrading to Windows 10 from either Windows 7 or 8.1 should go smoothly and be relatively painless afterwards, but we know from the enduring popularity of features such as How to fix Windows 10's worst problems that it often isn’t the case.

Microsoft also knows that upgraders are encountering all sorts of issues with the new OS, and so has put together a selection of automated troubleshooters designed to fix problems you might be having post-upgrade.

Not every problem is addressed of course (there are simply too many possible issues to tackle them all), but the tech giant is targeting some of the more common woes.
