It took half of Saturday to install Windows 10 upgrading from 8.1

Today I installed Windows 10 on my laptop. An upgrade from Windows 8.1.

Before I start installing I made a recovery drive and a system backup. Making a recovery drive requires a USB drive more than 16GB. Since I didn't have one, I got it in the morning. It cost 1,500 yen.

After I made the recovery drive, I made system backup. I intended to make this on external hard drive with capacity of 1TB, but I god a warning that you can't make a backup on a drive formatted with FAT32. If the hard drive were formatted with NTFS, it would be no problem with making a backup. Thanks to the function of converting from FAT32 to NTFS without losing data, I made it to convert the format. (The function was built in on Windows, and the process was unexpectedly short) It took an hour to make a backup copy.

Then the main install process. It took more than 2 hours, and install seemed to be successful, but my bluetooth mouse wouldn't work on new Windows 10 environment. I tried to solve problem first by searching for control panel and then looked for any update of the driver of bluetooth and wireless devices, and tried to install one. The install process failed, but unexpectedly bluetooth mark came back on my computer. Thus my bluetooth mouse began to work again all the same as I was using Windows 8.1.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
